And don’t forget that there are white African-Americans.

Many Persians and Arabs are white... Some are not. Just like many American’s are white and some are not. You either are white, or you are not and the decision is obvious and simple to establish.

I have two friends from Johannesburg.

One, reminds everyone of Charlize Theron and the day she became an American we held a party for her and one friend proclaimed her an African American...

That’s all I ever put on the census form. Two U.S. citizens at this address. Nobody has ever raised a fuss about that (yet).

What did finally happen, can the census ask whether they are here legally or not?

If they are non-white, they qualify for preferential treatment, e.g., minority business set asides, affirmative action, etc. The Dems will make sure to claim them as victims of white oppression. Hell, even Hispanic whites enjoy special privileges.

Let’s not laugh too hard. Roseanne Barr got fired and lost her career over making a remark regarding an Iranian witch who looks more white than her!

Since we are not included in “people of color”. are we people of less color, or colorless people?

They used to insist that they were white, but now it’s more profitable and esteemed in our leftist-dominated culture not to be white. Most people for example considered Lebanese people like Danny Thomas, the TV star, to be white several decades ago, and a lot of these folks worked to fit into the mainstream of the country.

People always vote with their feet, and this is just one more piece of evidence that “white privilege” is something made up as a political tool by Cultural Marxists. When there actually was white privilege in this country, even South-Asian Indians used to sue to be counted as whites. Now some feel they are losing out on their Affirmative Action and “Scapegoating Whites for Everything Wrong” cards.

And “people of color” is a term of respect. Clearly, children of “low color” (I have two redheads; I suppose they are children of no color?) are practically worthless. Great job, idiots: learned nothing from “content of their character,” just switched Good Skin Color and Bad Skin Color. Really smart.

Indeed. Skin color questions do not belong in the census,
