Hmm, so far all very valid points, but still, if you're not white and you go out in pubic, the people still say: African American, Asian American, etc. They don't say there goes a real American. Labeling yourself is one thing, having others put the label on without your consent is another. I'm talking about others putting a label on you when they see you.

It's because we've been beaten over the head with PC terms and given dirty looks or criticized by certain minorities if we don't call them by what they want to be called.

Who the hell goes around saying "There goes a real American."??

I do, whenever I see someone who votes and pays their taxes.

OK, If you want, let's get down and dirty.

It was the white mofos who sailed across the deep blue sea and conquered the ignorant indigenous people of N. America. We fought them, we outsmarted them, we outnumbered them and we wanted their land. We took it and never looked back. All the other races were imported to further our expansion. We won until the liberals started getting power and decided to give the benefits of our megalomania, genocide and greed to the "others" who we never thought would be a problem.

In and of itself this would not be a problem. The problem is that all these other folks don't want to integrate into our society of greed. They want the benefits, but they don't want to be associated with it.

Time for another :beer:

That's quite the harsh post there, but you have some good points. I, however, am not the kind of guy to go on a voyage, pilage and conquer, and setup my own camp. I do not, therefore, deserve to be disciplined for those things that I do not participate in. I'm no different than any other "real" citizen and shouldn't be treated otherwise. But as it was said earlier, life isn't fair. I'm a white male. I can't belong to a racial group or club because I'll automatically be labelled a racist bigot by people who simply don't understand. I can't celebrate my "white herritage" during a certain month because ancestors of similar skin color made stupid decisions. No, life isn't fair, and it really really REALLY pisses me off. But there isn't anything that I as an individual can do about it. Until society changes, that's how it is going to be. Until society realizes that racism is QUITE alive and well today in many forms that most politically correct people will call "diversity," I'm fvcked.
