You mean like culturally or genetically, as in shared physical appearance?

Both. Genetic diversity between two Subsaharan Africans is greater than between a Canadian and an Indonesian, for example. I do not see any valid reason for Hispanic to not be a race if the sweeping term black is. People used to consider Poles and Germans entirely different "races" because they had distinct cultures and populations for centuries. I think Latin America qualifies for this generalization just as the equally White North America does. Would you prefer ethnicity?

They're all arbitrary societal constructs invented by conscious or unconscious stupidity. Society must then spend precious money on censuses, studies, and equality to keep things in check and keep track of these idiotic groupings to make sure no one actually cares. I can see why the racism is offensive to you but the actual semantics pissing you off is a bit dumb. Especially with regards to when the categories are meant to help the discriminated.

Without racial, national and ethnic divisions, how would we pick sides in a conflict?

The irony of the Irishman forgetting to add 'religious' to that list is, uh...

To: Trans.
Of course Hispanic can't be used as a race! We at least have to distinguish the superiour Cubanos from the more mongrelized creatures from the rest of the new world!

Or, perhaps more importantly, it's bad in the same way that having "Asian" as a single category poses a somewhat awkward census problem. Some people take offense to the broad grouping of so many diverse and disparate interests. I've even heard people describe it as a cynical attempt to marginalize "Hispanic" interests.

This is the story of my life. I try to explain something and nobody understands.

Am I crazy or is everyone else crazy?

Maybe it's because most, if not all, of you are whiteys and cannot understand living in a world without the  priviledges you don't even know you have.

Both.

[Bongo Bill]

You say you don't believe in race and then you say things like that. Can't take you seriously.

[Classic]

Spram, don't you functionally pass for white though? Does anyone ever actually look at you and say, "OH! A wetback!"

[Brentai]

I don't remember when the hell I ever heard Spram talk but for some reason I remember him having a very obvious accent.

[Classic]

Like... a "European" accent?

Sorry for this thread. I decided not to read blogs or other news because they make me crazy. I feel pretty depressed lately and that explains my crazyness. Can someone delete this cesspool of a thread?

 

[Classic]

Feel better Spram!

If it makes you feel better, I also like white women.
