My former employer was really big on ethnic identity for misguided reasons. Personally I find the term "Caucasian"(insert joke by @elpresidente here) offensive and made a formal request to be referred to as European American. I was politely asked to leave HR alone and not to broach the subject again. We're all products of someone else's labels....I know who and what I am and try not to get too bogged down in other people biases and opinions anymore. Though Trump makes that a tougher struggle than it has to be......

I just stay out of it. Get as much vitamin D as I can without burning.

We are all different. I can be in the sun all day without burning. I don't know why, I just don't burn. Maybe it is the Portuguese in me.

Oh my god you were right, just looked again see the last part!

. English: habitational name from any of various places, for example in Devon, Dorset, Gloucestershire, Greater Manchester, Oxfordshire, and Somerset, so named from Old English hol 'hollow', 'sunken', 'deep' + cumb 'valley'.

I'm really getting tired of people saying shit like:

The Irish the poles, the Italians, etc..

FUCK THAT NOISE.

They are all white now. They all bought into the construct that they are now white and separate from People of Color. All of them are 1st class citizens now. And the only reason is skin tone.

You mean like you making generalizations about all native americans?

Look at all the white people on here claiming they're dogs/mutts instead of the crackers they are.

Shameful.

I thought I was until today. Now I think I might be from a rich pure bloodline.

You'll never guess my last name.

dviss, growing up in a very right wing area, I got a ton of anti-Semitic shit. Spit on, beat up because I personally killed Christ, not invited to parties, etc.

And later got it sometimes at work.

BUT - there was never any feeling (maybe until Trump) that the established power in the US was against me. Maybe because I was gay, or radical, not because I'm Jewish, even with assholes like Tricky Dick. It's not a matter of whether I personally buy into the construct of being white. The purchase was made before I was born. And I recognize the privilege.
