Does it seem odd to anyone else that the USDE is classifying Middle Easterners as White? They're separating out the Pacific Islanders, but not Middle Easterners?

American Indian is a race? Native Alaskan lol. Not big Walter E. Williams fans I take it.

Hispanic/Latino - A person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race.

So this includes SPAIN?

Since muslims all bow to the capital of the theocratic nation of Islam 5 times a day, every day, we should be noting their nationality as well.

Black or African American - A person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa.

So if you are black from South America, it doesn't count?

And if you are white from South Africa, it doesn't count?

What if you are an albino child born to black parents?

[a fool in paradise]

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

But black supremacists tell us that Jesus was a black man. So at least SOME people from these regions may not be white.

Are Sicilians white?

[CPT Clay]

Why are they doing this?

[kabar]

I find the whole thing odd and offensive. There is no such thing as an Hispanic. And grouping people with different languages, cultures, etc. as being Asian is pure nonsense. Is there a one drop rule to these classifications?

We need to stop this group identification.

If your kids are already in public school but you didn’t receive this questionare, then the school district converted whatever ethnicity code was already on file for your children.

I deal with this question every year and it makes me very angry. I have adopted children who are of mixed race. We don’t actually know what their race is! Every year I refuse to answer the questions and every year the school answers it for me.

I told the principal that for her to look at my children and judge them based on the color of their skin is racism, pure and simple.

[MrEdd]

70% of all north Americans are of mixed race.

No government is going to tell me or my children we have to reject their other heritages and embrace only one.

I go through this every census.
