A Fleming isn’t a Macedonian.

I prefer to refer to Flemings as "The Phlegms."

My ancestors showed up a couple boats after the Mayflower. Over the following generations, several of the menfolk married ladies from local native tribes. You may refer to me as a Baseline-American...

[karnage]

There is only one “classification”: AMERICAN. The rest is just stuff you talk about/sing/drink/dance at family reunions.

[karnage]

YEP.

NO! The Italians fought long and hard to NOT be considered an immigrant minority community. So did the Irish. Too bad for them, they won their battle, but the spoils go to the minorities.

heheh, when I started college, I ran into the same issue. I was living with my mom and step-dad at the time and, according to the FAFSA report, my step-dad made too much money for me to qualify for financial aid. Nevermind the fact that there were all the normal bills a normal household has, he made too much money - IIRC, about $60K at the time (1998/1999).

We certainly weren't living high on the horse at the time, either. He drove a 1978 Plymouth Volare, mom drove a 1989 Chevy Caprice, and I had my 1985 Mercury Lynx...nothing fancy by any means. Either way, that ended up forcing me to work my way through school (a decision I don't regret).

" watch the Spanish channel. Blond hair. Blue eyes. They sure look White to me. In fact, they speak a language very close to Italian."

They speak? They have eyes? I hadn't noticed.

[dfwgator]

Ay Chihuahua!

I watch the Spanish channel. Blond hair. Blue eyes. They sure look White to me. In fact, they speak a language very close to Italian. And we are White.

This German Scotch-Irish Slovenian agrees.

;^)

Oh, one of those, huh?

I hate you people!!!

PS: That was a joke.

"All right... we'll give some land to the n-----s and the c---ks......But we don't want the Irish!"

Oh great. Now that's an image I needed at dinnertime!

[kabar]

That’s because they are white. The Census Bureau had to create the category of non-Hispanic whites to differentiate between the two.

[dfwgator]

Of course there’s always, ‘Fat, Miserable Belgian Bastards.’

[Poison Pill]

This German Scotch-Irish Slovenian agrees.

German? That's it? Just...German? Vandal, Goth, Alan, Saxon, Hunnic? Come on man we need to really get ethic.

[gundog]

Think I could get extra benefits if I kiwied myself as an ‘African American’?

I thought you were gonna go somewhere racist...like opening a shoe-shine stand. What a relief.

[Jewbacca]

Yeah, I can speak many languages. Spanish is not one.

But for some reason, I always watch the weather in Spanish while drinking my coffee.

They shouldn’t.

BUT:the rationale was/is that they were historicly discriminated against in the west and southwest. Of course blacks get it because of slavery and Jim Crow.

I don’t agree with any of that but thats the rationale. But Muslims weren’t even here. Why should they be considered for any special treatment at all?

"I don’t agree with any of that but thats the rationale. But Muslims weren’t even here. Why should they be considered for any special treatment at all?

Being here is not a requirement. The category of Hispanic was established in the 1970s. Hispanics were about 1% of population then. They are now 16% and will be 30% by 2050. Hispanics comprise about two-thirds of the 1.2 million legal immigrants who enter annually and the vast percentage of those who enter illegally (about 500,000 a year.) What grievance do they have? Or some immigrant from Haiti or Nigeria or China?

Arabs have distinctive features. Muslims can claim that they are being discriminated against by their names and religion. Once you go down this slippery slope, you just open yourself up to this nonsense that is leading to the Balkanization of this country, which will be 50% minority by 2050.

We need to get rid of laws that confer benefits on individuals based on gender, ethnicity, and race. It is distructive and patently unfair.

How about “Dangerous Maniac Ragheads”?
