census: what ethnicity are you?

college application: what is you nationality?

standardized test: fill the bubble of the ethnicity that describes you best


:stare: i'll just skip it thanks :rolleyes:

and then the news: he's black! that means when he's president they'll take over!
(what idiots...)
more news: he argues that they arrested him for his race/religion
(like that is a valid argument anymore...)


this stuff really ticks me off ^o) if race is so irrelevent, why then do they shove borders in our faces?! if my skin color is the same as this background, who's to stop me from saying differently? would it change my brain capacity to say i look different? if somone filled in the bubble for african-american, does that change the grading from the person who circles for asian?

"race doesn't matter" then take those away...it only hurts us and adds to the problem...STOP SEPARATING US...plus they never have a choice where i fit anyway...and they never will...so why do they continue?

:lol: When the census forms came to our house, Dad decided he'd fill in a different ethnicity for each person in the house.

I got to be the Pacific Islander. :D

Usually, if it's me, I fill in 'Native American', for two reasons:

1) I was born here - making me native to the country, thanks muchly;
2) I am part American Indian (which is what they have in mind, stupidly enough).

Isn't it being racist to treat people better on account of race - just as much as treating them badly for it? I don't want anyone to feel left out! It's RACIST only to make fun of certain races! I should make fun of them all! DISCRIMINATING JERKS FORCING ME TO BE RACIST!!

EDIT: I fill in "Hispanic". It applies.

It's just an ethnicity bubble, so I don't care. Being smart about it or being upset about it doesn't really come to my attention. V_V

I grew up around blacks & Hispanics, so I didn't even really know "racism" existed until I was ten years old. ^o)

"Hey, bill! You wanna go shooting?"
"Sur' but what we gonna shoot?"
"Oh, let's go shoot some cans!"
"Cans, why we wanna shoot cans?!"
"You know! Mexi-Cans, Afri-Cans, Ameri-Cans, Domini-Cans, Puerto Ri-Cans...."

I'm a lot more sexist than I am racist, personally.

My friends and I were having one of those "debate for fun"s, and race came up. So the theory that everyone is racist to some degree came up and my best friend after a while looks at all of us with a grin and says:

"White people aren't racist."

:lol:
LoL, come on, kids; sexists are hilarious when they're guys. :lol: Chauvinists have no power. (Though I agree with them usually) And if they're jerkish chauvinists, LOL, even better - you wouldn't believe how easy it is to get on their nerves. 'Sides, none of you actually think Dark could be THAT sexist. Sexists aren't gentlemen/concerned with treating girls nicely. :rolleyes:

Actually, no. Because the whole point I was just making (and that was actually being agreed upon) is that racism that favors that race is still racism. And frankly, I've had a number of girls get pretty mad at me for the amount of deference I show them.

So my trying so hard to be a gentleman to the fairer sex (who all deserve it no matter what you say!) IS sexist.
Apparently
