So the word “Negro” is on the census still. This is from a 1943 protocol and demonstrates a major flaw in Barry O’s COLB.

Birth records have been based on the 1943 protocol and the designation of race for Barry O.’s father should have been listed either Negro or Black.

If they cannot decide on what they wish to be called, how do they decide on anything else?
I give up.

Race shouldn’t even be asked. There’s only one. HUMAN.

I guess they need a teleprompter to make their decisions for them as to what an identity is.

If they are offended, simply don’t fill out the form and they won’t count at all. I can live with that.

I have a friend who is blue eyed and blonde, from South Africa.

At a party, to celebrate her gaining U.S. Citizenship, another friend quipped “So how does it feel to be an AFrican American?”.

Too Funny.

“America is the only place still using the racist (and junk science term) “Caucasian” to describe white people.”

What is the accepted term these days?

Yes, and I am indigenous too. Just like the Mayas, my ancestors came to the Americas from elsewhere. They just came later.

Also African-American, as I have a reasonable belief that my ancestry, if one looks back far enough, - what was it, about 60,000 years? - can be traced to Africa?

So what is everyone really talking about?

been saying the same for some time

They're not African because if they are then I must be too.
Ask where in Africa and they have no idea.

Now why do the idiots on the left refer to Africans and African Americans as black when they could be white.
I've been to Africa and there are plenty of whites over there plus what do the north Africans say they are as they're certainly not black.
Tunisians, Moroccans Egyptians Libyans etc This whole PC is just plain crap and it shows just how dumb the left are, they use words to try and not insult but end up insulting even more folks

I believe I will hand write Norwegian-American on my idiotic census form. Makes about as much sense (none) as writing African-American.

When the census takers ask me my race, I’m going to tell them I’m an “American”.

LOL

Know a couple of guys from south Africa and one from Zimbabwe , all white and all turned American.

wonder what they’ll be putting down.

If the left had some brains they would know all of this but of course they don’t have a brain thus they embarrass themselves again

I remember a form I had to fill out once that had THIS Category:

1. White (Includes Ethnic Jews)

I was offended that there was ANY question about that!

Unfortunately, there is no category for “Middle Eastern Muslim Male Terrorist between the ages of 17 and 35.” THEY are the ones we should be counting.

RE: “I graduated High School in 1975 and I remember my Sociology teacher telling us how he argued with his father over the new term Black. His father, also a teacher said Negro was scientific and Black was a passing faze. At the time my teacher was Mullatto. By the way, he was one of my most impressive teachers.”

********************

I graduated in 1967 — there was no such thing as ‘black’ in ‘67. It was Negro.

My grandfather (dec. 1987 at age 92) who was from Chicago always used the term ‘darkies’ to describe Negroes. I guess ‘darkie’ was some sort of slur (?)

well I have family from Italy, family from Malta and then I was born in England but now have become American.

My skin is slightly olive like a southern Italian.

I’ll put white, Christian, normal/straight and always in a minority to be singled out plus wait in line for a job
