The question is inspired by recognition of "Black History Month", and specifically the meaning of that relates to "African Americans".

Would you [anyone] find it of value to to trace your heritage back to countries and regions? Is that a tool that provides a greater sense of self and identity? I've done that to some extent. The issue I perceive is the lost connection to the past for so many African americans and maybe that is true of other peoples as well. Thus a corrective measure, and possibly one that could be provided... free of charge..., to those whom no fault of their own, had their identities damaged or lost over history. That is one aspect of "reparations", restoration of identity, now possible, by technology.

As I think about how people identify their nationality, very often it's to some large social "national" or "regional" grouping, which forms unique cultural behaviors... usually in accent, language, food preferences, attire, movement/dance, etc.. These are all positives of cultures that people appreciate, feels good, and maybe even provides health!

For example, I've met these people in my life when I ask about them:

"I'm haitian and chinese!".. eventhough he's American.

I met an AA woman, she was very German, but American!

I met a young man in a shop, dark color, with a mask... he's Haitian... I couldn't discern the accent over the mask. He quickly reciprocated my french in even better French!

Nationality, culture adds depth and connection. With all of it comes assumptions, but further interest.

Nobody says North American, few say South American, African, or Asia. Very general associations.

Colors when used... are basic, very shallow. I don't know anyone when asked to make a presentation announces, "Hi, I'm black and yellow... I'm a bee!" It makes no sense, but these are used in media, govt forms... as media is shallow.

Like obviously these are men’s bands but like does it matter to you girls? Do you have any preferences of these for your one jewelry?

It is very PC and trendy to say that body type doesn't matter, it what's inside that counts, etc., but. . . for most guys, you are either atracted or you aren't, and you can't change what it is that you find attractive. My "ideal" is a petite girl with a slender body, proportionate boobs, and a not-large butt. That isn't a dealbreaker and I have been attracted to, and dated, women with other body types. Just the same, I do have my preference. And I absolutely will not date women who are more than 20 lbs overweight or who have enormous, pendulous boobs.

Is there a body type that is always, automatically disqualified from your consideration? If you wouldn't date two or three of these categories, please explain in a comment.
