IG-64 Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 One of the hardest things to tell about someone online is what race they are. When I met Mike Windu I thought he was black. Untill one day he tells me he's asian. And please, don't be offended by anything. *yoda means other, please explain*
IG-64 Posted January 23, 2005 Author Posted January 23, 2005 I got really confused on the South Amercan one, I went from Spanish, to Mexican, to South/Central American to South American and Spanish/Mexican ect. ect.

Speaking of which, I'm Spanish and technically not white or South American, so I don't exist according to you.

Boba Rhett Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 Awesome tan in the summer, pasty white in the winter. It is the way of the Rhett.
jon_hill987 Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 I'm white, (blond with blue eyes if you wan't to know) but when filling in forms I refuse to put anything as I see myself (and everyone else) as a person. I really hate forms that say: In order to determin if ethnic minoritys are being treated fairly we need to know your ethnic backround" Its is just so hypocritical, I always put "other" and then write human.
Doomie Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 Aw, i hoped the Yoda's could tell us what race they were... Ah, well, i'm white.
Alegis Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 With native American I guess you mean indians? Indians don't use the net.. White

Joetheeskimo Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 Originally posted by Alegis With native American I guess you mean indians? Indians don't use the net.. White There are offspring of Native Americans that live all over the world, own web sites, and rob banks. They maybe don't do chants around a bonfire, but they've got some Native american in their blood. That doesn't mean they can't do anything. And no, by Native Americans he means Native Americans. Indians are from Asia, in that country called "India" (in-DEE-uh). Don't try to tell me that you haven't learnt the difference in history class. White
Astrotoy7 Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 i'm the 200m hurdles !!!! Aw cmon IG... ... I know you have an other category but you shouldve at least put in "european/latin-european/slavic/anglo-saxon" , all our UK posters are missin out, as are the European ppl, not to mention Astro ! Plus, "black" is awfully vague. You should have listed "african american" and "african" separately ... and 'south american' isn't even a race as you should very well know ! (you shouldve listed it as hispanic/latino/latin american, and then you still miss the indigenous races of this continent) Asian does qualify as a race. To try define race is a difficult thing. Sometimes race can be described according to appearance, geography, but often also to political and religious factors.... bah ! they obviously dont homeschool geography or social sciences storms out * * * oh yeah... me: 100% Australian Turkish Cypriot ! g'day mate anani satarim ! mtfbwya

Breton Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 Originally posted by lassev "Human" is not a race. It's species. White. The "races" are so mixed into each other, and the genetical differences are so small, that the entire "race" term is quite wrong. Perhaps we should sort blondes and brunettes into two seperate races? After all, there are genetical differences. As far as I'm concerned, there's only one human race.
jon_hill987 Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 I'm with Breton on this one, why clasiffy people by race? Sure, use it to describe someone, but only in the same way you would say "the person in the blue jumper".
