Have you finally sorted out all of the various racial groups around the country and the social justice concerns which are being raised these days? You might think you have but I’m guessing you missed one. You can be excused, of course, because the one I’m thinking of is relatively new. In fact, it was just minted by the Obama administration. Get ready for the Next Big Thing in identity politics because we’re about to be hit by a fresh wave of Mena-Americans. The details come to us from Mike Gonzalez at National Review.
One day in the not-too-distant future, you may be asked to stand at attention at your local ballpark — Busch Stadium, perhaps — to celebrate Mena Heritage Day. The organist will do his level best to play traditional Mena music, vendors will serve Mena delicacies, and a chorus of Mena-American children will sing the national anthem.
Huh? What on earth is Mena, you ask? It is the new ethnic group created by the Obama administration to cobble together Americans with origins in the Middle East and North Africa. The group will comprise people as varied as ethnic Berbers, Arabs, Israelis, Persians, and many more. According to proposals by the Office of Management and Budget, Mena may be on the 2020 census.

Mensa are a minority.
I read that article this morning and laughed. These folks are just a special kind of stupid.
All enemies of Israel.
Mena = Palestinian ....
Why not celebrate the ETA (Equatorial Tribal Africans) that Obamugabe’s ancestors traded into slavery from that MENA stronghold
Actually Israel was the third “Mena” country listed.
But I think this trend toward identifying ever-more groups for favorable treatment just hit the countervailing trend, which it has for so long lacked in America.
Donald Trump.
I think he will turn Political Correctness on its proverbial head.
I thought for sure I had it figured out and Mena-Americans were going to be menopausal women.
Otoh, that’s a group that can bloody well take care of themselves.
I think we should pause Mena-immigration.
Mena- Pause?
” Middle East and North Africa”
Essentially all muzzards.
In what way?
So if one has heritage in say Malta doe sthat make them a part of this , since the island is off the coast of N Africa?
More dividing. They have to avoid the 'melting-pot' idea....people begin to act as one people.
Muzzies mostly, i think that’s the difference, eh?

I thought it was going to be about Clinton drug running in Mena Arkansas
I believe Malta is universally considered part of Europe.
The phrase ‘working hard in order to avoid work’ must have been coined about a leftist.
They are primarily Arabs, as opposed to Negroid.
