Obama wants to create a new racial category

Obama proposed to create a new racial classification of "MENA" for Middle East and North Africans.

On Friday, the White House Office of Management and Budget advanced the proposal with a notice in the Federal Register, seeking comments on whether to add Middle Eastern and North African as a separate racial or ethnic category, which groups would be included, and what it should be called.

Under the proposal, the new Middle East and North African designation – or MENA, as it's called by population scholars – is broader in concept than Arab (an ethnicity) or Muslim (a religion). It would include anyone from a region of the world stretching from Morocco to Iran, and including Syrian and Coptic Christians, Israeli Jews and other religious minorities.

Shakes head. Really? Well, I think the "PADAs" are way under represented. You know, 'People Asserting Dutch Ancestory'. It ain't bad enough that apparently there are supposedly 65 or so gender identifications now. When did your ethnic background move up into the race category? Kinda like people of Spanish ancestory being a different race because the settled in meh-EEK-oh.

No. Arabs who don’t like being lumped in with African-Americans. Wait. So, yes.

Oh I get it now...no longer call Muslims Muslims but just put all under one designation so we don’t count them or can’t keep track of how many enemies we’re importing. Devious little bastard. I wonder if Soros dreamed that one up for O to use.

They did that in the U.K. to conceal their number. I have family that lives over there who has told just how bad it’s gotten. They’ve taken over in a lot areas. The Muslims will bring about the One World Relgion - Satanism cloaked as Islam.

Obama proposed to create a new racial classification, but he's not consulting any Ornithologist's for advice.

Stephen Coughlin, the Pentagon analyst that was fired at the request of the Muslim Brotherhood because he spoke the truth about islam, says that this is part of the MB strategy to get any analysis or examination of islam declared off-limits.

The MB devised this strategy when they observed how the Left would use terms like racist, homophobe, etc. (stereotyping phrases) to prevent discussion of problems existing in inner cities or gay communities. Noticing how effective the Left was, the MB created and inserted the term "Islamaphobia" into the equation to hide islam and muslims behind the Left's cloak of invisibility.

Uh, the Brits use the (offensive) term “Wog”.

Just what we need - another “We demands our rights” minority designation.
