Slightly off-topic, but:

I was applying for a home equity line of credit at the bank just this morning. The woman was entering the information on the computer. It got to one point, where I had to read some Federal Notice on her screen. It said that they were asking for racial and other information, I could choose not to answer, but the bank employee was required to enter a guess based on observations if I refused.

I told her I wouldn't answer any of those questions. She put down White and Male. I congratulated on her stellar observational skills.

To be a liberal, you must believe that an official racial classification based spoils system made South Africa undeniably evil, but it's wonderful in the United States.

Hypocritical retards.

I am sure the banker would have put down WHITE and female for me. I appear white, pastey white -- but I have blac, ancestors, including Rufus Hargrove/slave. My great grandmother was 1/2 Cherokee. I wonder where I go to get sum dat gov'mint moneys????

you should have told her your race was human.

The feds just started requiring banks to guess and track the race of persons applying for loans over the phone.

Hypocritical retards.

That pretty much sums it up.
