That's the point! It's not about "two ways of thinking". The varied phenotypes of Africans (at home and abroad) are not LIMITED to broad nosed or kinky hair. And are not solely a result of mixing gene pools. They can be attributed to climate. If you live in the Highlands of Ethiopia, your complexion and hair texture will naturally be different then someone who lives in the Congo, for example. The varied types do not contradict one another, but instead compliment each other!
When we say "broad nose and kinky hair" we obviously know that we are not generally referring to a Swede. However, when we think of "Asiatic" slanted eyes, out of conditioning, we think of an Asian....BUT...that feature FIRST belongs to Mama Afrika (the San people, for example). Same thing applies to lighter complexion or straighter hair. The various types and genes were carried within the original mothers and father's of humanity LONG LONG before any invasions or misegenation. The stereotype of broad nose/kinky hair is a definition attibuted to us by white supremacy who invented the concept of race as we know it.
THAT, beloved Idren, is the point.
In regards to the African presence in India, let us not forget that India is also a daughter of Kush. As is Kemet. They are originally a Kushite people who later were mixed with the invasions of the Aryan/Brahmans.
ANCIENT AFRICA AND EARLY INDIA - by Runoko Rashidi.
"Exceptionally valuable writings reflecting close relationships between Africa and early India have existed for more than two thousand years. In the first century B.C.E., for example, the famous Greek historian Diodorus Siculus penned that, “From Ethiopia he (Osiris) passed through Arabia, bordering upon the Red Sea as far as India…. He built many cities in India, one of which he called Nysa, willing to have remembrance of that (Nysa) in Egypt, where he was brought up.”
"Another important writer from antiquity, Apollonius of Tyana, who is said to have visited India near the end of the first century C.E., was convinced that “The Ethiopians are colonists sent from India, who follow their forefathers in matters of wisdom.” The literary work of the early Christian writer Eusebius preserves the tradition that, “In the reign of Amenophis III [the mighty Dynasty XVIII Egyptian king] a body of Ethiopians migrated from the country about the Indus, and settled in the valley of the Nile.” And still another document from ancient times, the Itinerarium Alexandri, says that “India, taken as a whole, beginning from the north and embracing what of it is subject to Persia, is a continuation of Egypt and the Ethiopians.”
Dr. Vulindlela Wobogo, another African-centric scholar, has observed that:
“Manifestations of the Buddha in Asia are Black with woolly hair. They all appear to be Egypto-Nubian priests who fled Egypt…The priests carried their spiritual knowledge but lost much of the scientific knowledge for obvious reasons. The well-known aspects of Buddhism and its companion, yoga, are all simply Egypto-Nubian priesthood practices, meditation, and…the belief that one could attain a god-like state if the soul was liberated from the body through knowledge and denial.”
DALIT: THE BLACK UNTOUCHABLES OF INDIA
Possibly the most substantial percentage of Asia’s Blacks can be identified among India’s 160 million “Untouchables” or “Dalits.” Frequently they are called “Outcastes.” Indian nationalist leader and devout Hindu Mohandas K. Gandhi called them “Harijans,” meaning “children of god.” The official name given them in India’s constitution (1951) is “Scheduled Castes.” “Dalit,” meaning “crushed and broken,” is a name that has come into prominence only within the last four decades. “Dalit” reflects a radically different response to oppression.
The Dalit are demonstrating a rapidly expanding awareness of their African ancestry and their relationship to the struggle of Black people throughout the world.
