In this country, "black" doesn't refer to a skin color, it refers to an ethnicity (ie those of african descent). A dark skinned latino is not black. Nor are dark skinned Spaniards, for example. Saying Soriano or Sosa are black simply because of their skin color is akin to saying someone like Chris Duhon isn't black because of theirs wait, you don't think that sosa's ancestors are mostly from africa? And you don't appear to be joking? I'm not sure what to say. I'm not sure what I can say and not get banned I have no idea where Sosa's ancestors are from. But I make no assumptions based on what color his skin is. My wife has an adopted sister who is from Puerto Rico and looks black, but she's not. It's not as simple as someone just "looking black"
