We're generally very mixed because of the largely nonconsensual white men/black women relations of generations ago. Similar applies to many individuals of the African diaspora from Africa and South America. This isn't always obvious based on skin complexion or hair texture, though. Moreover, there are many African Americans who have "common" African and South American facial features but they are unaware of their origins (common for people who are forceably alienated from their deep ancestry). This is why many African Americans have used these "common" features and other markers to trace their roots back to Africa.

In regards to your revelation (this post), this is why I thought your comparison/question was interesting. It is actually easier to distinquish between "Asian groups" if "they" are less mixed.
