    The poll doesn't bother me so much anymore. For a moment there I'd forgotten about our general apathy towards voting.

    That is a tough one. Pakistani could also fall under Indian.

    That doesn't like something a whole lot of Pakistanis would say.

    Afghans are actually a combination of Mongols and Persians (Iranians). They mostly speak the same language of Iranians, but a different dialect and border that country. So Afghans can be considered to be in the middle east as is Iran.

    But Pakistanis have a much closer culture to India. They speak the same language. If I'm not mistaken Pakistan used to be called West India or something before.

    BTW, the real issue here is that Middle-Eastern is not really a race, but just a region. I say this because Iranian are actually of Aryan decent and would be considered Caucasian, eventhough they are located in the middle-east.

    We couldn't have gone this far into the thread without an OFFICE reference:
    Michael: Why are you the way that you are? Honestly, every time I try to do something fun or exciting, you make it not... that way. I hate so much about the things that you choose to be. Okay, you know what? I will not donate my winnings to Comic Relief, since apparently it doesn't exist. I am going to donate to Afghanistanis with AIDS.
    Jim: I think you mean the aid to Afghanistan.
    Michael: No, I mean Afghanistanis with AIDS.
    Phyllis: Afghani.
    Michael: What?
    Phyllis: Afghani.
    Michael: That's a dog.
    Pam: No, that's Afghan.
    Michael: That's a shawl.
    Dwight: Wait, canine AIDS?
    Michael: No. Humans with AIDS.
    Creed: Who has AIDS?
    Jim: Guys, the Afghanistananies.
    Michael: Okay, you know what? No. No. AIDS is not funny. Believe me, I have tried.

    IT Guy: Do you have a question or something?
    Michael: Um...
    IT Guy: About my turban, maybe?
    Michael: Nope, nope. I actually wear a turban sometimes. Wanna see it?
    IT Guy: Yeah.
    Michael: Got it right here. [pulls out Karnak turban]
    IT Guy: Why do you have that?
    Michael: Comedy; it's funny. It's Johnny Carson, Karnak. It's, um, put it back. Huhhhh, did you have Johnny Carson in your land?
    IT Guy: In Pittsburgh? Yeah, but I never really watched him.
    Michael: Oh. You were forbidden.
    IT Guy: No, I'm much younger than you. I watched Conan.
    Michael: Alright, I'm gonna, uhh, get a cup of coffee. Do you want some coffee er-
    IT Guy: No.
    Michael: Or some tea or hummus or something?
    IT Guy: No, thank you.

    Why is "American" attached at the end of nearly all the choices? What if the poster doesn't live in America!?

    Also why only Caucasian ? Why not German-American, Irish-American, Dutch-American?

    I blame society

    :rolleyes:


    Man I sound like such a hippie
