I think that it is a good thing, as Isis says to learn from each other. Because really, we are not so different as we make out.
I would also like to draw your attention to the fact that there is a lot of variation amongst 'white peoples'. They have a range of different colour hair, textures, thickness, yet they are all considered as normal for 'white' hair. The colour of their skintones also range from Norwegians to more mediterranean tones.
Most importantly, Nigerians like my father, have wide noses etc. But even this isn't true for all Nigerians. They also have ranges of hair colour from light brown to very black and the same with their skin.
Kenyans do not have large noses etc. usually but have very fine chiseled features and are usually very dark. In Tanzania, if you consider the Masai tribe, who have not intermarried, they have features exactly like ethiopians but usually have '4b' hair.
The same can be said for Zambia.
I have an Indian friend here in London, who grudgingly admitted to me that one thing that Indians find extremely admirable and attractive amongst africans are their chiseled features. Hence the intermarrying.
The features of ethiopians as a previous poster suggests are very african. Just not considered to be traditionally, West African.
There is a wide range of characteristics amongst ourselves as there are with any other race.

That brings back memories.
