Report: Latinos, Asians 'now claim white identity'
The Washington Examiner ^ | January 17, 2016 | Paul Bedard

Posted on 01/17/2016 11:50:04 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

The long-accepted Census Bureau prediction that whites will be a minority in 2044, ending any dominance by the white-heavy Republican Party, is being sharply challenged by an unusual source: the AFL-CIO....

Other than screwed, I wonder what George Zimmerman thinks he is.

Race is a big thing in America. Democrats will never stop categorizing people based on race. Whatever happened to Dr. King’s speech about contents of character instead of color of skin?

He’s as black as Mr. Obama, for one thing.

I wish they would come up with a simple means of changing skin pigmentation.

Take a simple pill, become any color from stark white to deep black.

I wonder just how much it would change things.

Zimmerman was destroyed by the spectacle that was made of him.

All because he had the gall to save his own life...how dare he!

Being melanin challenged- I have always thought would be cool to be green with pink polka dots- really stand out in the crowd. /pulling your chain

That's only because they screwed up. It would take a whole page to print out all their gender identity options...

Certain crime stats include everyone non black to make white violent crime as bad as black violent crime.

They will when it becomes disadvantageous to them. Then they will be the most color-blind people on earth.

See previous answer:)

“Going white” is either the greatest aspiration of minorities, or the worst abomination that could be visited upon them as individuals. Either to rise to the heights and whatever limits there are to your talents alone, or risk the scorn and condemnation of the demographic from whence you came.

Comparing the Current Occupant with Dr. Ben Carson, a man of some notable accomplishment, or even Herman Cain, an American success story, and you see the contrast for what it is - it is entirely possible for a person of African ancestry to fail, but when the individual wins, they win big.

Affirmative Action is a self-defeating strategy.

One of these little BACK STORIES that the GOPe REFUSES to tell Republican officeholders and candidates.

One related item of interest is that Asians are now quite numerous in this country (at 40% of the black population) and Asians intermarry VERY OFTEN and with that are no longer minorities. Hispanics are intermarrying quite often too, make them “White Hispanics” (LOL).

But the GOPe simply pushes the Frank Luntz talking points, which are:

1) The country is being FLOODED with Hispanics.
2) There is no mixing of the races.
3) There is hope for Republicans in upping the percentage of the white vote (that talking point will be gone, once Trump wins).
4) There is no hope in turning out white voters that would otherwise sit out elections
5) There is NO HOPE for the Republican Party unless they start to pander to Hispanics.

The white vote alone is enough for Republicans to win on at least in the near future. There is absolutely NO REASON to pander. Hopefully 2016 puts an end to Luntz’s credibility with Republicans - IT IS SICKENING.

His being an idiot also contributed a lot.

Depends on how fast the pill would work. I can already visualize Hillary in four different colors at different campaign stops on the same day.

And if they could come up with a pill for all 57 genders ....

Ah, identity politics. I am glad I don't live in the Democrats' world.

There is no true black in nature. Most of us are some shade of brown - from light tan to nearly black. Albinos are the only whites we have. Some people need to get over themselves.

Dr. King’s message about character over color will be conspicuously ignored on this MLK holiday.

I’ve known since the late 60’s that Asians & Hispanics are not natural allies of blacks despite liberal efforts to lump all `nonwhites’ into an antiwhite plurality.

As for South Asians, I recall a fellow from India who told me, “our skin may be dark but our hair is straight!”

Latinos claiming white identity is nothing new.

Jerk wad Nixon created hispanic as another ethnic group, which did nothing but further divide the country ever since. It’s been a very valuable tool of the rats.

I have no problem with them reverting back to being white. Much dem inspired racism would end.

Earlier this year I told my 15 year old son that I was going to be black.

He said that was impossible, as I am white.

I said, if Bruce Jenner can declare himself a woman, then I can become black.

He said Bruce was going to be medically fixed.

I argued that by cutting it off, Bruce was still no more a woman than an amputee was a slug because he/she lost all their limbs.

So pass the chitlin’s, M$@$@#% F%%#@$!
