well, technically “Rostami” is Irani-American, so “brown”
You know that I should probably let this comment go by, but I gotta respond.
I am most confused about how the racial categories have changed and expanded over the years. I also dislike that phrase “brown people” although I will admit my own child said it to me in youthful innocence years ago.
My understanding, from my own totally devoid of any racial prejudice father was that there were 3 races. Caucasian (white), Negro (black) and Asian (yellow).
I do understand that these 3 categories do not admit of a needed group of “indians” or “indigenous people” such as American Indians and their descendants, esp. those who now are called “hispanic” in the USA but who make up the vast majority of the population of Latin America, and other folks who are precisely described as “pacific islanders”, etc.
But it seems to me that somewhere along the way the left has again left us with three categories: Caucasian (white/bad); Slant-eyed Asian (yellow/bad) and Everybody else (brown to black and good as gold).
Sorry, this is a post that would cause my good old lefty ex-friend to call me a racist.
Oh yeah, and btw, where Elizabeth Warren would fit in, I have no idea. But I have no doubt she’d do her best to squeeze her little phoney multi-culti butt in as well as she could.
I’m willing to move to world where each of us is judged by the content of his/her own character. When the left is willing to do that, let me know.
