According to a local radio station here, this is the new buzzword for whites.

Well, since whites are slowly becoming a minority, we better get used to it.

I have no problem with that. It goes without saying the whole PC thing for ethnicity is for the most part lame.

So if you have a white person from South Africa are they still African American? My wife has green eyes and blonde hair and speaks perfect English and is from Peru. Why do people not still consider her a hispanic? She got all kinds of grief in college from administrators for filling out her applications as hispanic because she didn't look the part. Rant over.

Just Americans for EVERYONE will be just fine for me.

If you were born here you're an American.

well when 'labels' seem necessary, at least it makes some sense. i mean honestly, the terms white and black really don't make any sense.....b/c no one is 'white'....even tho i am damn close ....nor is anyone 'black'....so a term that actually links to your ancestry, far more sensible when one deems identifiers necessary.

Then what are you supposed to call white people who are actually living in Europe? Euro-Europeans?

"Stuff White People Like"

#71 Being the only white person around
February 20, 2008 by clander

This concept ties heavily into post #7 Diversity and post #19 Travelling, but is important that you fully understand how white people view authenticity and experience.

In most situations, white people are very comforted by seeing their own kind. However, when they are eating at a new ethnic restaurant or traveling to a foreign nation, nothing spoils their fun more than seeing another white person.

Many white people will look into the window of an ethnic restaurant to see if there are other white people in there. It is determined to be an acceptable restaurant if the white people in there are accompanied by ethnic friends. But if there is a table occupied entirely by white people, it is deemed unacceptable.

The arrival of the “other white people” to either restaurants or vacation spots instantly means that lines will grow, authenticity will be lost, and the euphoria of being a cultural pioneer will be over.

Being aware of this can be extremely valuable in your efforts to gain the trust of white friends and co-workers. If you bring a white person to an ethnic restaurant and another white person (or group of white people) shows up, you can lose all respect and trust that you have worked so hard to acquire. Do your best to find a table with a divider, or ask the waiter to put future white people out of sight.

Note: This does not apply to night clubs.

Dude, is that all you ever post? I mean unless you are the actual creator of that site it is kind of lame to copy word for word someone else's jokes. Might also be considered plagiarism.

GreenTeaDisease

it makes a hell of lot more sense than "white"!

Notes of interest.

Some people who are actually (born and raised ) African (and happen to have dark skin), do not respect and are disgusted by the Americans (who's skin happens to be black) who call themselves " African Americans" and behave in a manner which reflects Rap culture, hip-hop culture and so forth.

Many true Africans feel rather insulted by the behavior of these people, because their behavior does not reflect true African culture, values and manners.

To note, they are equally disgusted by people of white or lighter skin; who mimic this american culture and behave like them. But really, who isn't disgusted when they see a Wigger!?!?! I know I am:D

Same with those born in Ireland. They don't approve of the american redneck Irish and the Yankee Irish's behavior.

I referenced the site. Go listen to indie rock or drink coffee with other white people, and leave my posts alone.

Our liquor store setup guy when I was in HS was a black dude, er, African American who ripped us all the time for being "Europeans." This was, like, 17 years ago. Ray-Ray (I can't believe I still remember his name) was ahead of the PC curve. Hells yeah, Ray-Ray!
