respectful thread. question- am i white?

then let's dispose of the inaccurate terms black and white then?

Sorry because some people tried using racial slurs to motivate me, then protested that they weren't racist. Sorry because that means my dignity is more important to me than working together with those who don't have any respect for it.

I didn't say they aren't accurate I said it's more than skin color.

White means European descent white skin non J'ish.

Black means African descent black skin not a light skinned mix breed.

you know how they say the brain is layered, with the archaic parts sandwitched beneath the "newer" and more complex adaptations?
and how that happened over time?

then think about human gestation how we start as an egg and then look like a squirmy fish creature, then form to be a lil human?

they say both those things are like our bodies "historical record" that proves our evolution over time.

ok well i cant prove evolution

but let me get to the point.

lot of the boys in my family are born stark blonde, then later the complexion darkens and the hair goes either brown or black. some of my cousins look darker than me, some lighter. some stay blonde.

thats basically our genes displaying our family history, the way i see it.

A rather poor understanding of phenotypic expression, but everything's metaphorical these days.

theres a saying in USA idk if you have it across the pond-

that when you assume,
you make an "ass" out of "u" and "me"

you never have to apologize for stating you beliefs :) all good

you're trying to describe your identity in a way that sets you apart from other americans.

because you're simply not happy saying you're american when you fill out paperwork.

Then you probably qualify as full blooded Caucasian even by the archaic 'one drop' rule. I'm mostly Scottish/German on my fathers side and fully Italian (Calabria) on my mothers so chances are pretty good some Sicilian blood snuck in there somewhere way back.

UK AC- its not even that,
ok, im specifically referencing
black friday stampedes to buy shit (can we even say black friday anymore?)
walmart people
fast food
gross consumerism
fat people
drug addicts and criminals
other fucked up things about USA people

thats what i want to distance myself from. the melting pot is good. i repeat. the melting pot is good.

ok, im with ya.

You should really not mock white Americans.

Still didn't learn your lesson now that London looks like Pakistan?

No matter how you wish to identify yourself, other people have been programmed to stereotype you as per their arbitrary beliefs.

If you are a proud American but look different than,....
Look different, talk different, dress different,uhm,...

Different than what/who really? American is American right?
Some people need to hate I guess.

I'd rather have the WASPs running the ship. I can never trust the multiculturalism of people who are still sore about the old ruling class.

The melting pot is a disaster I repeat the melting pot is a disaster.

You should really look into the person who came up with the term melting pot btw.

What do you think he was?

ive experienced only 2 regions really in my life so im limited in persepctive.

first 28 years in boston, multicultural hub, plenty of museums, colleges, hopsitals, government stuff... people of all walks, some only in this country days, or weeks, or just visiting. had roommates from at least 15 different countries. thats what im used to.


now, in northern california the population consists of only 3 demographic groups. white people, indigenous people, and mexican americans. i really really miss the city. cant find any turkish food here. the pizza sucks ass. i could go on and on.

we need diversity i know this from experience.

? just a guess.

The WASPs came up with that, and the immigrants they helped by doing so very quickly divvied it up into corners. There's a reason the multicultural left isn't the same as the labor left. I don't identify with either, but clearly that divide exists for a reason. A lot of the labor left became Reagan Democrats, so there isn't the kind of loyalty there that someone like you would have me exhibit. I'm also not allowed to become politically wise from the lesson that so clearly offers.

TLDR: on closer inspection, I don't think your 'we' ever actually existed, and it hasn't come into being because of moral reasons, but political ones. Will you still 'love' me tomorrow?

"The melting pot metaphor, touchstone of America's debate over immigration, was claimed by the rabbi of a New York City synagogue, who said he coined it in a Passover sermon he gave exactly 100 years ago."

didnt find that in my wikipedia search

link plz?

New York Times.

With post-modernism, now you are only white if you vote Conservative. A European liberal is no longer considered a part of "whiteness."

But "you ain't black" if you have black skin and vote Conservative.

So it's more about idea's than race or skin color.

you starting to see why the Dalai Lama doesn't even want to reincarnate anymore? the oppression is getting heavy on planet earth.

This, this, this. ^^^

Race is a fabricated tool used to gain/steal power and control over people.

It's your choice whether or not you play their game.

.

As a biracial hispanic, I can relate.

My mom is full-blooded Puerto Rican, which means a mix of Taino Indian, Black and European Spaniard.

My dad is Polish and Czech.

I always put "other."

You are a centaur.
