Do they say what they consider a white person to be?

Such as being white and having a kid with someone who is half white and say half hispanic is not considered a white child?


I was talking to my fiancee about this the other day and I found it funny. She is considered to be "Hispanic" by the drivers license definition. If we have kids, they won't be known as white, or even half white. They will be called hispanic.

I find that fucking hilarious.

How do you come up with this crap?

Last I checked, they had a leader they elected/praised that was all about being white :D... or else...

Yeah seriously, I don't know where eskimospy comes from sometimes. I guess he can't figure much out when his head is in the sand 24/7.

Am I racist if I say this makes me sad and I consider it a bad thing?


If you are white, yes. You're a racist fuckhead and you deserved to be hanged.


If you're black or hispanic though, you're just outspoken about your culture :sneaky: Quick! Go make a TV Channel, Political Group, Radiostation, or Work group at your job that has to do with your race, because you're just cultural!

It's called a basic knowledge of history. German immigrants in the 1700's were considered nonwhite by lots of people. Here's a good quote about them from Ben Franklin:

Why should Pennsylvania, founded by the English, become a Colony of Aliens, who will shortly be so numerous as to Germanize us instead of our Anglifying them, and will never adopt our Language or Customs, any more than they can acquire our Complexion.

Which leads me to add one Remark: That the Number of purely white People in the World is proportionably very small. All Africa is black or tawny. Asia chiefly tawny. America (exclusive of the new Comers) wholly so. And in Europe, the Spaniards, Italians, French, Russians and Swedes, are generally of what we call a swarthy Complexion; as are the Germans also, the Saxons only excepted, who with the English, make the principal Body of White People on the Face of the Earth.

of a dark color, complexion, or cast

Swedes are dark-skinned? :confused:

EDIT: Russians are dark-skinned? :confused:

The thing I find fascinating about the definition of white. Many middle easterners in Iraq, Turkey, Iran, Lebanon look very white to me. Yet many will call them brown.

The definition can carry a wide range. Many hispanics are also classified as white. George Zimmermann was called white initially. And if you go south of the border and run into the higher classes in Mexico. While they have darker skin they have very white features and if not bathed in sun so much could easily pass as white.

That said it is rather amusing to read that Germans werent considered white enough in early America. Especially considering I am split 50/50 German\Polish. I go to the beach and effing glow. :D

IIRC the United States still has a legal definition for what qualifies as "white."

The current U.S. Census definition includes white "a person having origins in any of Europe, the Middle East or North Africa."[127]

The U.S. Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation describes white people as "having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa through racial categories used in the UCR Program adopted from the Statistical Policy Handbook (1978) and published by the Office of Federal Statistical Policy and Standards, U.S. Department of Commerce."[128] The "white" category in the UCR includes non-black Hispanics

Syrian refugees would be considered white

How do you come up with this crap?

By not being illiterate, reading a history book not edited by the Texas Education Board and have some idea that "NO IRISH NEED APPLY" and "COLORED ONLY" were once enforced by law.

And if Irish were colored there would be no need to have 2 signs :sneaky:

I can't say I'm surprised. Out of all my high school and college friends (affluent white people for the most part) only a handful, less than 10%, had kids by the time we were 30.

A lot of people I went to school with never had kids. Some did not want the responsibility, some focused on their career.

Its just a matter of time before whites become the minority. Maybe that is not a bad thing?

I am not sure if many people realize the amount of hate there were for Irish and southern Catholic Europeans in this country.

But that Irish need not apply reminds me of this classic scene from Blazing Saddles. Dont click if your humor is dictated by political correctness.

Oh hell yeah! Can we get a higher chance of getting a job over someone else that equally or more qualified? :cool:

I was thinking maybe the world would be a better place without white people?

Who are the largest holders of nuclear weapons? Who started the last two world wars, who seems to have a control issue with other nations,,,,.

I'm German and Danish, not sure if the Danes were ever considered nonwhite like the Germans were but I feel like if we had a white-off I might be able to give you a run for your money, haha.

What advantage would mixed race/ethnicity children have in identifying themselves as white? Just for disclosure, I say this as someone who is in an interracial marriage myself.

I am so confused about the OP. He brought this up because its obviously an issue to him and then he admits to being part of the problem.

The White in me don't care, the Native in me don't care, the Human in me don't care. It's just a colour.

Birthrates typically decline during recession. That is why the net negative was reached before demographers had predicted. However, if past history is an indicator, it will rebound when times are better.

http://business.time.com/2012/12/04/birth-rate-plunges-during-recession/

Apparently Mexicans experienced an even larger decline in birth rate than whites. It's just that their prior birth rate was higher so presumably they didn't go into a net negative as a result.

The biggest declines were among foreign-born women, where the fertility rate plummeted by 14%. Mexican immigrant women showed the steepest drop: 23%.

Good. Now if we could only lock our borders down and actually control immigration we'd be getting somewhere.
