Alright, this is a twisted rant.

I will admit that now.

BUUUUUUT...

When you are filling out an application and you see race you most of the time see White/Caucasian as one of the choices. I used to grapple with that one because I am Italian and Irish. Neither has anything to do with the Caucuses. If anything I am Mediterranean/Celtic. Yeah you can just say I am white but then again am I purely white? Not with the (Sicilian) Italian heritage. Us Romans were serious outbreeders. I never liked being considered a Caucasian. I am not Slavic or East European.

Heck, you can't say black people are black any more, they are Afro Americans.

By the way, what ever happened to just being an American irregardless of color?




My answer these days is to check 'Other' in the Race part of an application and put American. If I really feel froggy I put down ROMAN! VIVA ROMANO! If I am feeling really funny I write "First Place!" They did say 'race' didn't they? Then again there also is writing down "rat" for the kind of race we live in.


Now I feel a world better. A weight has lifted from my heart. Now life is good.

Yes, Ive thought simliar things. I have an sicilian/italian heritage.

I always say caucasian, but what also puzzles me is the "white" option.


Then I think, yeah, all we need is heritageisim.

I hate the term Afro American.

get out of this thread you dirty sigi

use the quotes to direct your reply to who you're talking to.

why would i do that when i only see one person in this thread who said theyre part sicilian (as I am too)



oh ok so i see two... you've won this round.

Music:
*wopp wopp wop wahhhhh*

Hey, what? Your' mamma no raise you with any respect?


Wasamadda witch yew?

so now this thread has devolved into calling people wops... classy

its a joke, it means without papers. derrr. And it wasnt directed at anyone.

You started with "dirty" and I took that as a joke.

lol, i was joking about the wop thing, obv!

wahh wahhh.

You know, I've always found that to be interesting as well. Why do I have to call myself "caucasian". I'm not Russian...which I would be if I were from the Caucasus Mountains. There isn't even a clear agreement on whether the Caucausus Mountains are part of Europe or Asia.

The Caucasus Mountain Range covers Southern Russia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia and Northern Iran, yet people of Iranian and Armenian descent are considered "Middle Eastern".

So basically the word "caucasian" is a bullcrap word if you really think about it.

I'm not white either. My make-up foundation a says "medium beige".

nope, we dont argue. Sicilians, putting the emo in emotional for generations.

I've seen some write in the "sex" section "sometimes, whenever I can, yes don't you?" instead of male/female...


I always mark caucasian but it's confused me b/c I'm native american and irish...

you could write in "beige" as your race then

i never knew what Caucasian meant, like the true definition i mean, i guess i never had a reason to look it up, so thanks.

my ex's gpop was from northern italy and always told me sicily was the **** that italy kicked off its boot.. lmao
