That's me, not a Jew, Mexican etc. I am a mutt with wasp(White Angelo Saxon Protestant) and Spaniard. Normally I am bald and clean shaven. My Mom and Family can't stand my hair. I weigh 135 pounds(American) so I'm quite scrawny.

 

[Tsuyu]

Aren't Mexicans technically Spaniards though? :troll:

Not even a little. Unless a Trinidadian dude with a British great-great-great-great grandfather is Welsh. In which case, sure, they totally are.

PS Dude, Spanish people ARE white*. You're barely a mutt at all. What a disgrace to American muttness you are**.

*Yes, Arabs and Berbers and **** are also white if you ask me.

**Don't worry, so am I.

 

[TRA Rotid]

Hey mutts are the most beautiful people anyway (and often the most powerful characters in fiction).

 

[Tsuyu]

Arabs are white now? What are you smoking, Walker? Multi-culti hogwash...

Hell, half the time I'm pretty sure Asians are white. And I'm an American, so according to the Census Bureau I'm right and you're wrong.

White – A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa.

I think I'll identify their colour by the actual colour of their skin, not what the 'Murican Census Bureau tells me they are.

But dude, "sort of brownish" has no punch! No verve! It lacks that je ne sais quoi that all true racial epithets need!

Also, I was going to make a sarcastic comment about the Canadian census, and then instead I ended up spending fifteen minutes reading about how your census collects racial/ethnic data.

That's utterly effing stupid. A white person is a person with white skin and features, not someone with black skin from Africa or someone with brownish/yellow/white skin from the Middle East!

As far as skin color goes, people from North Africa aren't that different from the ones in Middle East.

 

[Tsuyu]

There are black people in the countries in North Africa as well. Who have lived there for generations, and would be considered North Africans just the same. Are they white, too now?

It was about origin, not who lives where.

If this guy was white, then I am the Easter Bunny.

Sorry, Tsuyu, he's a white guy. I know white guys (as in, "all my ancestors came from Europe" white guys) who are darker than he is, for crying out loud.

Yeah, what Rotid said. It's about origins. That's what the "original peoples," and "person having origins" bits mean.

And it's self-reported anyway. So a South African white dude would probably report himself as white because, y'know, his family's pasty white skin came from Europe. A Guyanese whose great-great-grandwhatever came from Calcutta would report as an Asian.

And hell, if a Berber decided that he was black, he could report as black. If he decided he was Asian, he could do that. Hell, the way the census works he could say he was American Indian/Pacific Islander. But he'd probably end up being "white," like the census classes him. And then we don't bother with sub-categories of "white," "black," etc. except for Hispanic, so he'd just be "non-hispanic white."

Though I won't argue that it's a bit retarded. F'rinstance, a Mexican dude's probably going to have at least as much in common with people in the American Indian/Pacific Islander category as with the "white."
