Statistically that's not true. I don't understand what you're trying to say.

PS: It's been a few years since I read that finding so it's going to take me a while to find it again.
Edit: Americans that are 1/4 "African" tend to identify themselves as African. This seems odd to me but it's actually the case.
The African American adolescents had a lower birth weight, a lower verbal IQ, and a higher number of sexual partners than did White adolescents. For each characteristic, the mixed race mean fell between the means of the two parental populations.
My roommate in college was half-Haitian half-Portugese and identified more as European. My near 100% African-American buddy I played cards with identified himself as fully black. A half-Carib half-French (black skin tone) girl I knew identified as French. In London, a good friend who is half-Arabic half-Indian identifies equally as Arabic and Indian. My three-quarters Chinese one-quarter Japanese friend raised in Beijing identifies as pure Chinese. I think a 1/4th African 3/4ths European blood person raised in a predominantly black community would identify as black, and raised in a non-black community would identify as European.
All my data is from people who live in international coastal cities though, so maybe it's different in various provinces and less affluent middle-of-country areas.
This can and does vary from country to country--mixed-race Brazilians are considered white in Brazil, but black if they immigrate to the United States.
Of course they are.
