i would never have considered myself as part of a minority. On the grand scale, anyone who is not of Chinese or Indian origin should be considered a minority.

But here, they are considered a minority group. Work that out?

Well not exactly. Women are considered "minorities" even though they make up about 50% of the population. So a white woman is still considered a minority. Anyone gay or living a nontraditional lifestyle would be considered a minority. Then you have religion.

But in truth isn't every one on the planet a member of some sort of minority group?

Usually most people use Minority to refer to everyon who isn't white, male, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant, and heterosexual.

Hehe. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

White is made by all the colors.

Black is absence of color, then the colored offensive term use against black people should have been uncolored instead. In fact, black people aren't black, and neither white people are white.

But my question still stands in the race topic. What is a white? Italians are white? Canadians? French? White skin with black hair? Brunettes with blue or green eyes?

Blondes are white? (they look yellowish to me); Isn't Nicole Kidman Pinky? Is Antonio Banderas white or minority?

OP, Evil, sturm, Rhylan are whites or what?

Or only Wasp's are white? Maybe authentic whites are really a minority in the US.

It's confusing.

What were you thinking, 13?

IMAGINE

by John Lennon

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Chiwas you are absolutely correct about "white" being all colors in the technical definition, but in the Political Correctness definition, I'll still stick with the abscence of color althought that's not totally accurate, it's darn close. Trouble is that people are becoming more and more mixed in their heritage? Take Tiger Woods. When he fills out those forms asking for his race he could ansewer affirmative in several categories. Perhaps it's time to start putting race aside and start viewing people by who they are and not the features that their DNA show's to the world.

The ironic of the subject, LRB, is that everyone, every human being, has the original genetic inheritance from Africa.
