I understand why you'd think I meant that in a negative way. I'm grateful I'm not triracial because I like simplicity. Tri racialism and beyond is too complex. I went slightly into it before and after that comment. I can't go into detail about everyone of my personal opinions on a comment haha.

I, specifically, like many people around the world, love my identity because they are my roots. They are who I am and where I come from. They are what I see and what I live. We as humans yearn to know where we come from and wish to connect to our roots. Having too many roots, I believe, makes people feel like they don't belong to either. One and two is pretty simple. I'm significantly one group. I have a significant amount of another group but it's not significant to me for previously said reasons. When you're tri racial and beyond your roots become so expanded that your identity becomes a blur. That's why I assumed they call themselves just mixed. Because it's a blur many people call themselves by their country's origin. But like I mentioned earlier, in my family, and many others in Mexico specifically, many call themselves Indios in everyday life. When they do something right or wrong it's just a normal thing. They acknowledge to a significant degree who they are and where they come from. I know Guatemalans do this too. I'm sure there are people in Puerto Rico or Brazil who are obviously more African(with some NA and European mixture nonetheless) who perhaps say they're black for simplicity sakes. For those who are significantly of one thing they emphasize it. This specific opinion of mine is clearly way more subjective than my others so don't take me too literal ??.

African genetics are the most dominant. Nearly 40% is very significant. He's clearly not white because the African side is very dominant and the European is recessive. Remember, I said phenotype plays a role as well. I know Puerto Rican's that are significantly tri mixed call themselves simply mixed.
