Thread: How does it feel being a non-Hispanic White?

Apparently, according to the Census Bureau, Americans who have ancestry going back to Europe are now no longer considered as Anglos, Europeans or Anglo-Europeans, they are not even called caucasians anymore. They are now classified as non-Hispanic Whites. Can you believe this crap. No longer are these Americans designated by what they are, they are designated by what they are NOT. So, I guess when someone cimes up to you and asks what is your heritage, you can't say "I'm Anglo-European", now you have to say " I'm non-Hispanic White". Isn't this a form of racism? How would African-Americans like being called "non-Whites"?

I know when I heard that I wanted to scream. It is just another example of how disgusting everything has become. However according to society today, only "White people" can be racist and "white people" cannot experience racism.

If you don't think the ultimate goal of Mexicans is to displace Europeans and reclaim land they think belongs to them you're not paying attention. They are not so subtly declaring a race war.

reptile,

This label has been present for a long time. When I went to the University of Miami, back with the dinosaurs, , in 1975-78, punch cards were used, with the famous, 'do not fold, staple, or mutilate' statement. Now I know you youngsters don't believe this!

Anyway, one of the cards was for 'race', and even back then, I was a 'non-Hispanic white.'

I promptly ripped the card almost in two, and wrote on it, "WASP, and proud of it". I was soooo angry, that I still remember it.

I knew you had FIRE under that demure and calm exterior!!

I was a 'non-Spanish speaking other'.

Guess, just guess, what I did with THAT card!

Funny this topic comes up. My wife is Black (I am a non hispanic White male ) and she has been looking for a new job with the government and guess what the applications list: NON HISPANIC BLACK.

At the end of the day ALL RACES OF AMERICANS ARE UNDER ATTACK.

I am sick and freaking tired of this COLOR - RACE crap!!!

WE allowed this to happen and now WE must fix this mess!!!

Almost every color and race in this world has bled for America.....LEGALLY. This is an AMERICAN PROBLEM.

The only thing on those flipping 'cards' now should be.........
