Mauritania - 1981. wow. And Sierra Leone was apparently founded as a colony for ex-slaves by Britain.

The average Western person with mixed Black White ancestry does not look like the specific Emirati phenotype I am thinking of.

Throw a dishdash on Hamilton and he would fit perfectly in the UAE, not something I would say for other Westerners of mixed Black White ancestry.

For example, I am British (albeit with mongrel ancestry) and have been taken to be French, Italian, Spanish Greek and Turkish on a regular basis.
