I'm born and raised in , live in .

Now, go do your homework, coño!

 

Well this is what this Language translation site say's it means:

Is it right?

 

Close enough

 

indian

 

what?

 

Diamond Star Motors......get it ?

 

Is that what they're called in Japan?

Thanks for finally clearing that up for me.

 

errr, did ya come up with that one all by yourself?



no, I wasn't checking in my pants. Why don't you go ahead and do that for me

 

Black

 

azns dominate these boards

 

White, but not really a true 'Texan-type'. No boots or mulletts. Just a mid-twenties white boy

 

So why not call Nissans SHM? Silver Hamburger Motors. Or Fords BOM? Blue Oval Motors. That's just retarded.

 

I'm Georgian (former Soviet Union). I live and work in Chicago. Will be here another 5-6 years.

 

In the poll, do desi (Indians, Pakistanis, etc) count as Asians, or is that exclusively for yellow people?

 

Gamardzhobat!

 

I dont care what Peter Tosh says, we are all Africans. There's just been ALOT of continental drift since then.

 

 

how many of those pictures do you have?


"SprintMax Disclaimer: If after arguing with SprintMax online you have not realized you are still on the internet.. please seek help.. thats what they pay these people big money for.. to help you"

YEAH, you're good! Paint me another picture

 

I think they count as asian

 

They would be "other". There are only 5 poll option.

Damn. It seems to be that my threads usually go two or three pages....but 9? That's a personal best!

 

I figured like UMD, but maybe others didn't. Actually, I'd prefer to see how much yellow there is, rather than a mix of yellow and brown. The big question is, did the desi people consider themselves Asian and vote that way? If some did and some didn't, that will skew the final poll results.

 

What if a white person born in South Africa immigrates to America and becomes a U.S. citizen? Isn't that person also an African-American?

IMO, hyphenated race categories are absurd and only tend to separate Americans into multiple, competing groups. This is not what we're about.

 

you bring up a good point; the same problem exists with census data. However, I think that Andy is trying to get a general idea (ie if you saw the person while driving). Obviously the defintion of race has become blurred.

according to this definition, a person's ancestors had to be born in Africa to be considered an African-American

In my book, that's a white dude. Technically, yes, you are correct, but I was basically trying to figure out the percentage of each race on this forum based purely on skin color- NOT nationality or birthplace.

I should have used the term "race" instead of "nationality". That's my bad.

 

what about a "cockasian"

 

I'm Hapa (hapa-haole)/Amerasian/Other = 50% Korean, 25% Irish, 25% German.

Growing up in a white rural area was LOTS of fun!

Give me corned-beef and cabbage, sauerkraut and mashed potatoes with a side of kimchi.

 

My comments were not really directed at you. I agree that "race" is the proper word here. I was just expressing my general dislike for hyphenated names that were mentioned in some of the other posts.

In the old days around 100 years ago, once you got off Ellis island, you became an American. While still maintaining your ethnicity and traditions at home with family or in church, you became part of the general melting pot, absorbing the American culture and our way of life. This joining of many cultures, races, and nationalities helped make us strong and prosperous. I think this new trend toward hyphenation and multi-culturalism may actually lead us backward into separate groups, with group loyalties, norms and prejudices that trump our American culture. Not to get too gushy here, but I believe the motto on our coins, E Pluribus Unum, meaning "from many, one.", is an important part of our culture.

 

What percentage of this post did you look up in an encyclopedia and/or internet?

 

None, other than taking out a quarter and copying the motto.

 

I hesitantly agree with you, Magellan. However, look how long it took the people getting off Ellis Island to get along, and back then there were only minor differences in appearance such as noses and hair color. They were all what we collectively call "white" today, yet back then had big problems between the groups; Italian, Irish, German, whatever. People quickly categorize others by appearance, not just race but dress, because that's easy and natural; like sorting out the apples and oranges in kindergarden. Thus we easily throw people into groups and develop stereotypes. It'll take a bit longer for this new melting pot of white, black, SE Asian, Desi, Hispanic, and Mid-Eastern people to merge together and just simply be "American." But there are also those that dislike the idea of a singular culture. IMO, a singular culture is fine, cuz it's not like the former cultures are lost. My GF has Italian roots, and they still have home cooked pasta every Sunday with artichokes . And I think I remember Dennis Leary saying something about absolutely loving potatoes .

My point is, we're still melting.

 

you're right. People are going to hold onto their culture/background because it gives them a sense of identity and pride.
