"Guam" is not a race. The schools systems do that to show "diversity". If they can claim they more minority students they get more money.
The tradition goes back a long way. You are your mother’s race, the roots are probably in the old, “Mama’s baby, daddy’s maybe” line. Before DNA testing it was seldom possible to be one hundred percent sure of fatherhood.
Tradition yes. Law, I don't think so.
These labels are all used for money. I hate what this country is becoming. And, people are letting it happen because they are afraid to make waves.
“Guam” is not a race.

I know that but “Guamanian” is listed on government forms as a choice along with all the others. I hate what this country is becoming too, just at the time that Southern Baptist churches that are predominantly white have opened their doors to everyone and you can see people in the cradle of the confederacy interacting without regard to race we have Sharpton, Jackson, Obama and others who refuse to let go of the issue. Soon people like me may be arrested for being white in public.
I know some black people who reject the race-baiting attitude and seem to follow the, “I have a dream” way. I admire and respect them but I have no use for the Jackson, Sharpton, Obama followers.
By the way, my wife just dug up the SECOND census form that we received even though we already sent one in and sure enough, just as I thought I remembered, it lists, “Guamanian or Chamorro” as a choice for race.
When I search Chamorro it seems to be the language of Guam rather than the people.
