    I was patiently awaiting your reply, I do like to learn new things. But considering the time you spent replying to me in the other thread i doubt your going to say anything worth reading here.

    I dont care if you consider yourself a Sufi, but your avatar appeared very different from your image, which is why i didnt assume because you put "Mcleod" in your name that you were necessarily a Scott.

    I dont care what avatar you have actually or if you consider yourself a Sufi. I just didnt want to make any assumptions.

    I made the same mistake, I saw you were from Australia, but your avatar looks like a fat bald chinese man who has just eaten too many noodles.

    Maybe its because you're not from the Simpsons generation? Although having said that Australia does have its share of Asians (not all "yellow" people are chinese) including fat ones. Now who is ignorant? ;)

    Anyway do you seriously care that i didnt assume you were Scottish? because thats all i've done that seems to be carrying this conversation on... if so get over it.

    I say black too. Not one for politically correct, esp when it changes the way i have said something throughout my lifetime.

    My daughter did inform me that they were not black but brown though. Kids, pshhhh~

    I know that in Ireland(Yay!) when Americans come over and say 'I'm Irishamerican' we just smile at them and then laugh at them when they're gone. then we give them syphilis. You're American I'm Irish. no one is stuck between the two. Or should I start calling myself Viking Irish?

    Don't you ever get tired of labeling everything? How about we just call them "people" and let them call themselves whatever they want, hmmm?

    So....


    African-American is another way of saying someone is black, correct?

    Charlize Theron is African-American, no?

    you're asking people to actually critically think about their busted opinions.

    It's a stupid fucking term.

    I could elaborate, but this thread comes up every fucking month, and I'm frankly fucking sick of the topic. People are people. I don't care.

    I do see race. And I want to do them all.
