Like take for instance the Khoi-San from Southern Africa, who are among the oldest human groups. They have features that we commonly associate with Asians today.

Not trying to start an argument, but I really am curious... Would you mind explaining how you're forced to moderate your blackness? Is speaking at a calm volume and smiling an inherently "not black" trait? (I can't imagine that's true).

Almost every black person in corporate America does it, entertainment, politics etc
