Dirk: i think you are taking this way too far into an extreme. sure wer aer all ppl and we are a single unique personality, but i am sure shux didnt mean to "band" races together or form tribes. and honestly if anyone uses this poll to decide who to talk to or who to mean an ass to, then dont worry i am sure i nor you would want to talk them either way.

Well, I have always believed that there should only be one race on this earth, the HUMAN race, which is made up of many colors. Sort of like a box of Crayons, each color by itself is unique, but when all gathered together, make up a vast assortment of knowledge and talent. Each brings his/her own strengths into this world, which may be someonelse's weakness.

What mostpeople donot realize is that we are all on this earth, we need to work together to make it work.

BTW, how about Celtic American Indian.

i think white washed hispanic means a hispanic person that does not fit into what most white people think of when they think of hispanics. for example,i would wager that a white person when asked to describe a hispanic man would say: dark skinned (but not black), stocky, big mustach, leaf blower on his back (j/k i am colombian myself), when in accualtity hispanics can be very white-europian looking due to thier spanish decent (yes spain is in europe). so you have darker mexican and puerto-rican hispanics and lighter spainish and southamerican hispanics as well as the people of central american who are heavly mixed with the native indians of that land and costal,island people who are heavly mixed with africans due to the slave trade. so there you have it white washed dark skinned and other.....:D

Get off your pc horse if you think shux is doing this to in some way single out anyone! Whats wrong with knowing what your race is? Its pretty cool to know I think. Why should we all try to be exact same, its not like there is something wrong with coming from different countries is it? Thats just taking things too far... :p

I clicked a box but i'll bet you dont know which one ;)

that IS a geographical diffrence because there is nothing else that binds them together. there is no shared cultuer or language so it has to be geographical.:)

<< middle-east american like I am 90% german with a tint of syrian where am I??? >>



I have Arab-American on that list, if the &quot;tint of Syrian&quot; is what you identify with then by all means put yourself down as Arab-American.

henry,

if you count asian and asian-american that makes 14 votes. that also makes asians the second largest population on the board, right behind whites with 66% oh the oppression ;):confused:

Since when central Europe is being considered as a part of Asia? the divider between Asia and Europe is in the Ural mountain range, which is nowehere close to the central European countries. If you want to make a distinction between western and eastern Europe than do just that - add Western Europe and Eastern Europe options, but for gods sakes don't call people who live smack in the middle of geographical Europe Euroasians.
