    i'm unclear on that too because I know I've seen things that ask for your race that seem to have "hispanic" and "hispanic non white" as options. I know I've seen that somewhere and it left me hella confused

    It may make more sense to ask for ethnicity in such instances instead of race.

    I think it makes more sense to just not ask at all

    I'm not sure why it was asked.

    Racism is such a waste of time and energy. Make others small to make oneself feel bigger.

    I went to the dominican republic and the way they treated Haitians there was beyond horrible and the thing about it is they don't look that different

    It could be because Haiti is very poor and well known for their high HIV rate

    I was talking about the nanny state laws that seem ho highlight racial differences, rather than treat them. as a way of life.
    I was not suggesting legalizing hatred and murder.

    Probably the most ridiculous example was the film catalog that had to be reprinted at a cost of around £2,000,not to mention the environmental waste of destroying 5,000 catalogs already printed, just because a few historic films (among hundreds of others) were described as being filmed in "black and White".
    If you look at a similar film listing today you will see the term "monochrome"

    Its a crazy old fucking world that's for sure ! I was called racist today by a guy that thinks all white people and Pakistanis should have their throats cut , just because I couldn't do him a favor ?

    I'm Mexican American born in the USA . Mama and Papa were born in Mexico I don't know where in the hell the word came from but I for one do not refer my self as Hispanic ! Off and on when filling out paper work I see the word Hispanic for "Race" I always cross that out and put Mexican American! I'm not Latino either!.................................If you want to fight about it meet me out side.............. :)

    Wherever you go in the world you will find the poor are the most nationalistic and racist. They don't have to do anything to earn their accomplishments or lack thereof because they are already great and it's only this other that takes from them.

    Sometimes it's the Mexicans sometimes it's the Polish but it's always someone else coming to take from your great land. Racism is a learned behavior and they know that it's really hard to teach someone that if they have opportunity in their life. Like many movements that's why it's important to recruit the high school kids, American History X is kind of a documentary.

    My grandpa is pretty racist but not my mom. Only one of them still goes on about "the good old days when they were kept in line". You can imagine his thoughts on Aunt Jemima and Trump I'm sure.

    When I was a kid we had Aunt Jemima hot cakes all the time and never once did we give it a thought that she was black! Only the racist think that way and they are the black people plus some white's! I'm surprise the back people don't go after Micky Mouse after all part of him is black! Blacks now have shown what they are "racist" I'm not kissing no ones ass!
