White Americans' majority to end by mid-century

[Seshmeister]

Hmmm...

I could care less...

God will work it out...

Yeah he's delighted to watch 16 000 children a day die from starvation but if he spots a little ecumenical issue between a couple of superstition companies you can't stop him bursting from the skies with his magic wand sorting everything out.

Or is that just on Tuesdays...?

I thought Chan was the one so very sensitive about race. I wonder why you was putting up all those offensive race videos in the the about nothing.

Race is a funny thing. I see some forms that have 4 different explanations from people that appear Oriental. And one mark for white, one mark for black and one mark for Spanish. WTF?
And one of the most offensive things I ever saw was a bold front page headline reading "Such and such Was Treated Like a Red-headed Stepchild" on the The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Hello! That is fucking rude!

I have so many cross culture racist stories it is not even funny. I could take pages here. Sometimes it feels like I am some sort of fucking ambassador. The ambassador of I don't give a fuck what race you ar you are an asshole land. And I don't care what color you are you are being *
When I was in 5th grade and going to "the" school in my town. My teacher was black and she had to address that word. When she showed it to us in the dictionary it meant to lie, cheat or steal to gain. After catching so much crap here for that word, I realized that the people I see using that word in.. well music and the like lie cheat and steal to get ahead. Black people and other races that do not lie, cheat or steal do not use that word as affection.

I have simply declared my own race, well at least until they put Red on the race card.
None of my health issues line up with my color, the hair products that work are the wrong color and the other color is too rich for my hair. A little bit last a year or more.

Until they get DNA to conclusively establish what race you are. I am of the Red race.
Who knows, maybe I am part alien. ~Joke!
I hate race. I don't fit in anywhere. As for "only being with my own kind" (and that comes from all sides of the race cards). What am I going to do Wait until I find a suitable genetic equivalent to me? That is once in a blue moon. And ya just kinda look at each other and wave. Either they freak on the "we could be related" or have the fear of reds that is so prevalent in society. ( and don't tell me it is not there. I have had first "dates" where they bring clippings of how red are "witches") or they are on drugs or just butt ugly. And I would never wish for my child to have the chance to be butt ugly.

After this rant. I have concluded the most challenging race to be is of the red race. And what so odd, is every race has reds in it except Oriental. To my knowledge, there might be red Orientals, I do not know. I have not met one where the drapes match the carpet.

What I don't get is why we call it race and not species.

cold war = no shots fired.
Italy not white
I;ll give u spain.

Spanish are white but Italians aren't, I can't even guess where that idea comes from?

You have an odd view of the world.

Also if you think no shots were fired in the cold war then you need to go back and look at it again.

Cheers!

Of course Great Granddaddy married a full blooded Ojibwa, so I guess my family has been more tolerant than most.

I won't even pretend to know what that is, I'll just imagine that it is a wookie or something.

I have no idea what my great granddaddys fucked, I don't even know their names.

The genealogy thing is much bigger in America.

I notice you fell into the trap of saying 'Great Granddaddy' rather than 'One of my 8 Great Grandparents.'

I think most people do that when checking family trees. They follow the name they still have or the more interesting line all the while ignoring lots of other people who are just as genetically close to them.

Cheers!

Is Jap ok just not fucking Jap?

That makes sense to me because some English people would call me a Jock for being Scottish which doesn't bother me but if they called me a fucking Jock I might be a bit more guarded.

I'm surprised that you are so sensitive. Being Chinese is the exact opposite of being a minority in the world. In the UK kids of Chinese consistently are the highest achievers in education which implies that they aren't discriminated against.

The problem with your preferred Asian moniker is that it's too vague. Are Mongolians the same race as people from Papua New Guinea?

And, are all "Asians" the same? Weren't some of the biggest racists the WWII Japanese operating in the "Co-prosperity sphere," where their officers had documented samurai sword beheading contests on Chinese civilians?

You know how on some forms, e.g. medical forms, there's a question about one's ethnicity/race? There's the usual Black, White, Hispanic, Asian...etc. Then there is "Other" and a line next to it so that you can explain. Many times I have been tempted to check off the "Other" box and write "HUMAN." I wonder what would be the reaction of the receptionist or whoever reviews the forms if they saw that.

I do, do that, well not list human. But it is a hassle.
And it is a hassle depending.
I have gone before fellowships and was told to mention my colored heritage. I really felt I would have gotten it on merit and didn't listen to advisers. Well after the fact I researched the "group" and sho' enough. I should have mentioned my colored heritage. Fuck em. I went back later and rubbed their nose in the "prize" the could have had.
And you know what, they still acted like bullshit. I flat out told them the second time I knew their game and was not going to put bottle caps on my shoes to dance for them. It was fucked up, they know they are cheating.
Before I left, I asked her if she wanted to measure my nose and get a paper bag test. I am not even sure if she understood how cheerfully racist they where being. God willing, my passing through.. no fuck that. I hope somebody burns them. and fucking reports that shit.

It's less interesting when you remember that 90% of the world is 'people of some sort of color'.

Then you remember that the 40 years of Cold War was against the Russians who are generally Caucasian.

Then you remember the fact the US fought Italy and Spain too.

Then you think what the fuck is he going on about...

And America's bloodiest, most bitter conflict was against itself involving the mass slaughter of mostly white soldiers on both sides. It's the one where we liberated the African-Americans...

Not exactly a Wookie.

cold war = no shots fired.

Are you fucking kidding me? The proxy wars alone cost tens of thousands. Then there were the US Air Force personnel in the hundreds that disappeared over the Soviet Union on aerial reconnaissance missions. Many probably died in Gulags. And Korea and Vietnam were quite clearly Cold War conflicts...

Italy not white
I;ll give u spain.

Actually it is. I've dated girls of Italian heritage that were bond haired and blue eyed. It depends on what part of Italy you're talkin' about, but many northern Italians are indeed very 'Aryan' and speak German and French...

The only reason I know about my them was they were a huge part of my father's and grandfather's life.....both of them used to stay summers with them and I just remember the stories about them from my childhood. Funny thing is, I never even knew my great grandmother was full blooded Indian until I was in my late 20's. Whenever anyone talked about her they just called her Nana.

I've never researched my family nor have any real interest in doing so....whenever people ask me what race I am, my reply for the last 20 years or so has been, "I'm a mutt", meaning I have so many different lineages in my family outside of a DNA test who the fuck knows or cares, I don't.

I'm related to Grace Slick on her mom's side and that family line goes back to the Mayflower. I didn't know that until a few years ago.

She won't go in the same room as someone drinking and doesn't believe in sex unless for procreation.

She's dead to me...

There are over 70 official government categories of ethnicity here.

The Irish get one but we don't.

This is what happens when you get multicultural liberalism going up it's own asshole trying to categorise someone who is 1/4 Bangladeshi, 1/4 Caribean and 1/2 Caucasian in order to try and make sure they aren't being discriminated against on that basis.

It's a complete nonsense and causes more offence than it ever helps.

You are also very probably related to Ghengis Khan as am I.

I'm probably related to Sesh as my family line goes back to the Walker clan of crazy Scots from Edinburgh somewhere back into the 11th or 12th century.
