Because in America being black is like a disease. Once you get some black genes, you're tainted as black.

(ok so I worded that to be intentionally controversial, but it's still true).

desease is too strong and to negative

but what you want to say is that "black gene" are dominant (are view as dominant)

so if you have a little piece of black in you ... you are black and not white anymore

Same happen in europe, and it is basically true for any white country

Maybe you should stop making general statements that you don't know whether they're true or not.

In Portugal a mixed race person is a mixed race person...
