comment from 2007

It might be worth added a category for people of mixed racial identity. You could include Pushkin, Alexander Dumas, Tiger Woods, and Ranald MacDonald, among others.Pustelnik 19:15, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Abuse of this category

This category is being abused. Ugric and Finno-Ugric peoples had been added to it. Those categories are linguistic categories. Putting them here is the perpetuation of outdated 19th century thought that linked language with race/ethnicity. --Stacey Doljack Borsody (talk) 03:32, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find Afro-Caribbean

I am looking for possible categories for George Cosens. He was Jamaican, and of great significance in Britain. In Britain, the term Afro-caribbean is currently the norm. But I haven't located it amongst the Wikipedia categories, nor on a quick search anything similar. Perhaps I should look at the main article on Afro-caribbean and see what categories it has.
