White Pride Options

[murkylight]

Well, I'm actually Canadian although I do enjoy visiting the U.S. My mother's side of the family were landed immigrants from Romania and my father's side...something to do with Poland and Russia but that's not so clear. The colour lines of my Eastern European descent, however, are very white indeed. At least from what I can see from the pictures. Not WASP white but white non-the-less.

White isn't a race...thats the problem.

In america it is. Just look at when you apply for university.

HA you must be talking about the ethnic questions.
ARE YOU WHITE OF NON HISPANIC DESCENT
ARE YOU WHITE OF NON INDIAN DESCENT
ARE YOU WHITE OF EUROPEAN DESCENT ETC ETC ETC
I took a test one time and it took me longer to answer the race question than the 10 minutes it took for the test.

Why do they require that information?

Its not a race its a demographic.

Its a way to count people, and to organize "statistics".

Its still not a race, thats the media delluding you to think that it is...with of course, the so called "statistics"

How is that every race?
Firstly, you can't generalize continents.
"Asian" Is a blanket term, its used to describe everything from Palestine down to Indonesia.
The rape of Nanjing, was an atrocity committed by the JAPANESE to the CHINESE.
Asian IS NOT a race.
Nationalities aren't either.

Arabs....wow...okay now that's not a race...but a group of races bound by one language: Arabic.
The Darfur Tragedy is a government sponsored program, in which they get marauders(Bedouins of north west Sudan, Muslim or non-muslim, all different tribes)
and pay them to kill people, and to clear the land for Chinese oil expeditions(hence the burning of the villages).
Black, is a color.
Oh and very few Rulers of Africa at that time were actually in cahoots with European slave traders. Most of the slaves(about 80-90%) were STOLEN from their land. Others either lost parents, were forced to enter into indentured servitude, then became enslaved. Or the were sold by rulers who didn't know the difference in Euro-slavery, where you loose your rights and have no chance of freedom and or worked to death, and African indentured servitude, where you could appeal for your freedom, or buy it.

a. any of the traditional divisions of humankind, the commonest being the Caucasian, Mongoloid, and Negro, characterized by supposedly distinctive and universal physical characteristics: no longer in technical use.

Exactly what I'm talking about...

Well if you think about it the colour if skins isnt 'Black and White': it's various shades of pink and brown.

InshAllah (If Allah wills) no one takes offence to that

Assalamu alaikum (Peace be upon you)

I think racial pride is rather stupid. You should be proud in an accomplishment, not something you are born with.
