That's an interesting mix, mainly because the Iranians I know don't like being classified as Arab or Indian. They are elitist if anything and are quick to point out the "differences".
It appears message board polls are the anti-grape drink for black people. They just want nothing to do with it. Cmon African Americans, we know you're out there. Rise up and represent.
I think they're distinguishing between White Hispanic and Mestizo (mixed). Either way, I'm surprised there aren't more Hispanics posting here.
Well this is far as my parents can remember regarding our lineage... Great grandfather on father side is a Filipino Great grandmother on father side is a Portuguese woman Great grandfather on mother side is the son of a Spanish friar Great grandmother on mother side is the daughter of a Chinese merchant and a Filipina Muslim.
You racist. How dare you ask people what race they are? Does it contribute at all to their posting style, or are you working on some racist bigoted formula to generalize stereotypes?
Scientists have already found a direct correlation between the hispanic race and smilies. Ie, the more hispanic you are, the more smilies you post.
wait, ... damn you Ronny , you're dumb *correlation of smilies and swoly posts* you might have a point , my bad ... I guess I really am hispanic :grin:
Where is the 'other' option? BTW there is no such thing as "Race". Your poll is mixed with "Race" with the option "Black" and ethnicity with the option "Asian". Race is just the color of your skin white, black, yellow, brown. Ethnicity is your actual decent ex. Asian, African America, German ect.
It's an outdated term and has been for years. I probably wouldn't make the effort to object if you said to my face. I would just assume you're too ignorant to know better. http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/09/09/law-bans-use-of-oriental-in-state-documents/
