What am I? I'm mestizo. I'm not white because I'm not fully Spanish and I'm not Indigenous or Native American because I'm not full. I'm not Mexican because I was not born in Mexico even though that's what I'm classified as because my family was born there. I'm just plain old American.
i'm not white, black, asian latino, caucasian, negro, chinese, hispanic, red, yellow, arabic, native, jew, purple, blue or martian.
I am a human being and my life has no less or more value than any other human being and i resent these underhanded attempts by facist elites to divide and conquer.
@mattvlad3 wow. you just sort of chew up the language and spit it out. funny, you degrade my IQ, yet seem unable to form a proper sentance.
you aren't even a good at trolling, and trolling is easy, dude you don't have much going for you do you? i'd feel sympathy for you if you weren't such an ass-hole.
I was just watching this video why would you american's circle african am, Are you stupid you are american unless you can find your root to africa other then that you circle Am, Used some damn sense i don't circle that shit i'm american i was born in the united states i don't ad stipulation's to me.
Race catagory
Black, African Am, or negro, **** Write and circle american*****,
@SupremeARA915 ya, so are those living in North America, most are mixed with native american tribes such as cherokee, irouqis (spelling?), Navajo etc. So are the Black in North America as well, yet they are black.
Basically the old white fuckers in Congress gotta keep track of all these different colored people..blacks, browns, yellows, etc... they gotta track them to know how many are out there. Simply because they are going to vote them out of office one day because eventually they are going to outnumber everyone!!!!!
Hispanic is an ethnicity which is different from a race. I was born in Cuba, my background (parents & grandparents generation) is French, Portuguese, Spanish, English, and Italian. All humans have African roots. Study evolution fuckers. I’m white as it gets (blond with blue eyes) but I’m Hispanic. There are also many black Cubans and even Asian Cubans. People are uneducated and racist as they could be from every angle. Be whoever you r, embrace your roots and stop being so overly sensitive.
Race = Racism = White Supremacy = dominant sociomaterial system of the known universe in which each individual/independent, united person who classifies himself/herself and is accepted as white unjustly subjects to him/her all persons that he/she classifies as non-white. These individual/independent persons are united in this ultimate purpose. This system operates in all areas of people activity including economics, education, entertainment, labor, law, politics, religion, sex, and war.
a man from mayan decent that is 100% full blooded, and is a 100% native american, comes to the STATES and whites call him hispanic-latino, IS CRAP, RACIST AND STUPID, PLAIN AND SIMPLE. whites call blacks=african americans, asians= chinese americans, mexicans which they happen to be natives to this continent=mexicans americans BUT, HOW COME WHITES DON'T CALL THEMSELFS EUROPEANS AMERICANS, THEY CAME FROM EUROPE, AFTER THEY KILLED 95% OF NATIVE AMERICANS THEY CALL THEMSELFS MORE AMERICANS NOW!!!!!
I've never filled out that census crap. Its just modern day Cesar trying to count the children of Israel to destroy us! And it is all being done in black face!
I'm Black and I'm not offended by the word Negro at all. Negro simply means Black in Spanish. It may be old fashioned, but nowhere is it defined as 'slave'. Some people can be so dumb...

@guapgueezee The one drop rule has been defunct for a long time. One drop of Black blood doesn't make you Black, but I know where you were going with this, that's how it used to be.
@IslenoGutierrez It is not defunct because wen they call obama black halle berry black the beef with mulatto hispanics and black americans over race is clear.. I dont adhere to it but to be part black is a negative for latinos despite having a stringer african influence that american blacks.. as a latina i know.. i am mulatto and i am proud of it .. im glad i was raised here not like those obviously mixed with negro ple who say taino and all that yet practice brujeria play drums etc.. please
@mattvlad3 you personally don't have to be forced, just move to a community that is 99.9 percent your race and you'll be fine. Being forced is more of a personal issue. YOU don't have to hang or live around other races. This is the land of the free.
@DaMostEnigmatic europe is even more free, according even to american tourists, the point is that with no identity, is just a group of people that stay in a place just for personal interest, when america will collapse, cities like new york will became an hell
keep the term negro, there's no confusion involved whatsoever. instead of offering confusing terms like "latino" or "hispanic" just say mestizo. and for all you morons who think "oh shouldn't they all just be called american" race is not a social construct. it's a genetic and biological reality. i need to know where the most white people are so i can live among my own because i prefer things that way.
@RoyalMessup "genetic and biological reality"? Do you even realize that most American "white" people aren't even considered white by European white racists? All white americans are considered mongrel, according to them, because you are a mix of Irish, English, Scottish, Polish etc etc. So how can you say that the term "white", among others, isn't a social construct when a white american isn't considered white in Europe?
@mjohanss1975 riiiiight.. white americans are considered white in europe.. have you been out of the country? they may not claim their heritage like italians irish germans who try to claim those countries get rejected as irish german italian and are seen as american but not as non white... there is a difference..
@guapgueezee have I been out of the country? what country? the US? Well, i've never been to the US but I've been to 57 other countries. I didn't say that white americans aren't considered white in Europe. I said a European racist will not consider a white american truly white. Almost all white americans got Irish, italian, greek etc in them and many European racists would not consider any of those white. The concept "White" is a social construct like any other.
@mjohanss1975 IDIOTITALY- THE ROMANS GREECE- THE GREEK CIVILIZATION THE BASIS FOR EUROPEAN EVERYTHING AS WELL AS THE ROMANS ARE WHITE IRELAND IS IN EUROPEDUMB ASS THEY SEE EM AS DIFFERENT BECAUSE OF HAVING THAT DISTAN INDIGENOUS OR SLAVE ANCESTOR AND EVEN THOUGH MANY LOOK "WHITE" BY USA STANDARDS I CAN SEE THE INDIAN AND NEGRO WASH ON THEIR FACES AD BODIES..YOU HAVENT TRAVELED TO EVEN SAY WHAT YOU SAID THOSE ARE THE COUNTRIES WHOSE CULTURES EUROPE BASE PRIDE IN..TO YOU ENGLAND IS WHITE ONLY LOL
IF YOU WERE BORN IN THE U.S OR NATURALIZED IN THE U,S REGARDLESS OF RACE WHITE BLACK HISPANIC MEXICAN SALVADORIAN. ETC. WE ALL SHOULD BE CALLED AMERICANS PERIOD!!! THANK YOU
no your negro not african american ill explain their not asking were you live but your race so negro means black thats all just becouse they called salves black it dosent change that you are black got it .
what is race?? it seems to me their makin it about skin tone which i believe is pretty f**ked up. people think im white just because my skin is pale. my real 'race' is part irish, german and indian. how can they classify people as being 'white' and 'black'?? go get a white and black crayon or something, have u seen anyone with those skin tones?? didnt think so
The Irony in that is the original Latinos(remember that term comes from Europeans) started slavery in the Americas that being the Spaniards and Portuguese not the English/Anglos.
Also people should note what the women said toward the end one drop of Indian blood does not make you an Indian either.
But the failure in that is the resentment part against anglo whites is because of slavery and oppression but the descendants of White Latinos were engaging in the same sort of slavery and oppression in Latin America but they were just speaking Portuguese and Spanish instead of English i,e they are just letting one white group off the hook and blaming one white group those from a Anglo origin only for the treatment of black people
@LatinosarenotaRace BECAUSE ANGLOS IMPOSED A DISGUSTING COLOR LINE AND TRIED TO KILL OF BLACK PEOPLE WITH LYNCHINGS AND DOMESTIC TERROR.. AND ISOLATION AND PURE EVIL HATRED AND EXPERIMENTING ON THEM.. LIFE FOR BLACKS POST EMANCIPATION WAS NO CAKEWALK.. TO THIS DAY DIE HARD RACISTS THINK BLACKS ARE OUT OF THEIR PLACE.. SO PLEASE IN LATIN AMERICA BLACK POVERY IS CIRCUMSTANCIAL DUE TO AFTEREFFECT OF SLAVERY HERE IT IS INTENTIONAL LOOK UP THE TULSA RIOTS/BLACK WALLSTREET.. SWEPT UNDER THE RUG
Also i notice this among many black people don't want to acknowledge that someone termed Hispanic or Latino by the USA government is white because they see hispanics in society as their ally because of the media portray that i.e they are sort of comfortable with the
Black White Latino race society because they see it benefiting them ,but it is actually a form of black resentment/racism they want to narrowly define white people as possible ....
@LatinosarenotaRace BULLSHIT.. BLACKS DONT SEE IT THAT WAY IF ANYTHING LATINOS BENEFT FROM BLACK SACRIFICES BREAKING COLOR N POLITICAL BARRIERS THAT AFFECTED HISPANICS WHO BY AND FAR ARE DARK .. THE FEW WHITE LATINOS ARE NOT A MAJORITY AND DONT ASSOCIATE WITH THE LATINOS WHO ARE ASSOCIATED WITH BLACKS POLITICALLY AND SOCIALLY..IT IS ALWAYS NON SPANIARD LATINO TYPES AND BLACKS IN SAME BOAT JAIL EDUCATION SCORES LOW QUALITY OF LIFE ETC.. MANY NON MEX LATINOS ARE MISTAKEN FOR AMERICAN MULATTOS
Blacks getting all bent outta shape after seeing the word "negro" yet they probably went home and droped the word "nigga" about 15 times and thats alright lol. Black people crack me up.
@MiClLC If you are a member of a marginalized race you use the offensive term as a way to reclaim it and take away power from the people who have used it against you... when the (white) federal government uses it on the form, it's very offensive because they are aware of its connotation and yet feel they have the right to use whatever terminology they please, flaunting their privilege.
Gotta love those black folks...they haven't figured out yet that there are many nationalities associated with the negroid race. sigh.
And don't Mexican think they're a race? Many of them have turned their nationality into a race....just like the "negros." lol...silly. Why should we answer these questions any way.
1. Anthropology. a member of the peoples traditionally classified as the Negro race, esp. those who originate in sub-Saharan Africa.
adjective
2. of, pertaining to, or characteristic of one of the traditional racial divisions of humankind, generally marked by brown to black skin pigmentation, dark eyes, and woolly or crisp hair and including esp. the indigenous peoples of Africa south of the Sahara.
No more politically correct than African American so stfu
@Steadno If you are referring to the Cuban-Puerto Rican, she clearly looks Mediterranean European. Many Cubans have European Ancestry. Cameron Diaz, Andy Garcia. Puerto Ricans as well, Benecio del Toro, Carlos Ponce, Joaquin Phoenix.
@biggerflexible I know many people from Southern Europe and they hardly look any different from her. Jessica Alba is 87% European 13% Native American (She had a DNA test done) and she looks less white than that women that was on screen. Did you not know that most of Argentina is white? Most of them came from Spain, Italy, and Germany. Hispanic has nothing to do with race. Most Hispanics you probably run into are Mexicans.
Seems like biggerflexible is a troll and all trolls have there agenda i am sure if she were was American meaning Anglo he would not be saying that women was not white blah blah if she was the spitting Image of Sandra Bullock who also has a Mediterranean phenotype he would be saying she was not white either it is a losing battle with trolls even they will try and argue that Pitbull is not white and he has a nordic phenotype.
@LatinosarenotaRace Yes, it was evident he was quite clearly a troll or that his level of ignorance was at an unimaginable magnitude. I completely agree with what you said in regards to some African Americans seeing "Latinos" as allies which is why some become upset when they choose to identify as white, even though anyone who has a modicum of intellect should know that Latino/Hispanic isn't a race. I wonder what someone like him would say in front of a blond blue eyed Argentine LOL
Yeah people just got to learn that their are white folks from Mexico Cuba Colombia etc etc etc it is also very amusing when Black Nationalist claim that Latinos are one of the lost tribes of Israel along with Native Americans LOL
When you look at the purpose of this census, asking for detailed information of the ethnic backround seems appropriate. Call me euro-americanindiana-o-scottish if you want. Please check the best answer or write in what you would like to be called, there are more important things going on.
Reintroduced "Negro"? I don't think so. That has been the language used since the Census' inception. Nice try rewriting history, "news professionals".
This is such a poor story. It is pure reactionary and about feelings. Yeah lets get a young adult that doesn't understand that fifty years ago black people were called negros and not african americans.
If any problem is there it is people now being so diverse and being so wishy washy saying "I'm everything" that they can't sit down and pick what race they are.
What do you want the census to do ask your bloodline? Also every job has always asked about race why don't people rail against that?
Geez..just another contrived "controversy" that CNN & other corporate news outlets need to boost sagging ratings! Moreover, too many people need to get over themselves and their "sensativities" ... do we need to catalogue all of our ancesteral racial and ethnic background?! Eh...
And let's not forget that quite a few East Asians, Middle Eastern and South Asian (Pakistani, Indian, Bangladeshi, etc.) who emigrated to the U.S. have become successful. You don't see many chinese ghettos or Indian trailer parks, last I checked.
Giving a quota or advantage to a certain race assumes that all members of a certain race are, by default, poor and need an artificial leg up. THAT, if you ask me, is kinda racist. It denies that there are middle-class suburban and wealthier minorities, which do exist. It may not be as large as the poorer Black or Hispanic populations, but many exist. It also denies the fact that there are many whites who are pretty fucked economically.
The Census should really just be a federal counting of population. That's it. And use it for very purposes such as reconfiguring the House seats accordingly. No nonsense about "Fair share of funding". No racial crap. Nothing.
What business does the gov't, esp. the feds, have asking us what our race is? Do the census people actually believe that ANY racial issues have been solved by simply collecting this kind of data?
Besides, affirmative action and other shit should be class-based.
Class-based is a great idea. Thanks. Unemployment for those in lower quintiles is unbelievable, those under 19K per year are reportedly at 50 percent jobless. And the majority, or 60 percent, make under 60 thousand per year for the entire household. These are the ones who need jobs or have no where to live. I call that important for some action! Discard the race card! Help the corporate slaves !
The Census commercials, some of them anyway, are kind of laughable. "We need to fill out the census so we can get our fair share of funding!" Lol. Yes, feeding the entitlement mentality is why the census is necessary. Nevermind that the constitution guarantees FEDERALISM, including state autonomy, and the census is FEDERAL. It was never meant to grow to the size or magnitude that it is now.
That's hilarious I was about to put this after watching the video, only to scroll down and see some other rational human being already has. Thank you.
@biggerflexible If she isn't white then most of the Southern Italians, sicilians and, greeks living in the United States shouldn't be considered white either. Even some irish people like Gorge Clooney and colin ferrell shouldn't be considred white if she isn't.
Dr. oz who is turkish is whiter then clooney and ferrell but because he's a muslim some dumb americans wont consider him white.
I hope people are stupid and not fill theres out, so we can under report the population and change the congressional districts accordingly thus giving smarter states more house members. who would be smarter rednecks or liberals I wonder
What sense does the race question make. Why does someone need to know ? I thought the census is just about counting how much people live in each district.
My census form didn't have "Eurpoian-American" listed. Then again, I don't give a hoot what someone else wants to call me, ain't going change me in the least. But then again, I'm secure with my identiy and need no one or nothing to validate me.
Hispanic denotes the place you come from. Your race is different. You could be a white hispanic, black hispanic, Asian hispanic, mixed hispanic, Mayan hispanic, so on and so forth. Check all the boxes that apply.
Negro is there because a vast majority of people (black people) identified themselves as such in previous censuses. Negro, originally was an anthropological term, just like Mongol. Later some racist pricks turned it into a racist word.
I understand this might be important for statistics... but honestly, why can't there just be one slot for American, and not dividing people by ethnicity.
Unbelievable. This day in age and white crackers still get the easiest cencus questions. I thought Obama was going to do something to help us get revenge against honkeys.
The why white is all that matters is because no matter what you call the minorities they are gonna have a problem with it. You are brown, Black, Red, Yellow or white. Whining about politically correct wording is what keep all of us seperete. If you want to become one nation then call yourselves Americans. My ancestry is Prussin (Polish-Russian) I won't make an issue out of nothing.
why should black americans be called african americans,?if they were born here they are black americans ,period they wasnt born in africa they are americans,gezzz
@TheStumpie2 same can be said about irish, japanese, latins, ect... it's just heritage, what part of the melting pot you belong in. to conclude with what missmoxie78 said we should just be called americans.
As the Constitution only allows the number count, I would say that questions asked, that go beyond that allowed by the Constitution, are a BIG DEAL.
If people think that the Constitution is a "living document", than Congress can make amendments to it, to allow for the current unConstitutional illegal questions being asked.
It's the morons who allow our rights to be trampled on.

@MiClLC If you are a member of a marginalized race you use the offensive term as a way to reclaim it and take away power from the people who have used it against you... when the (white) federal government uses it on the form, it's very offensive because they are aware of its connotation and yet feel they have the right to use whatever terminology they please, flaunting their privilege.

Gotta love those black folks...they haven't figured out yet that there are many nationalities associated with the negroid race. sigh.
And don't Mexican think they're a race? Many of them have turned their nationality into a race....just like the "negros." lol...silly. Why should we answer these questions any way.

Most of them came from Spain, Italy, and Germany. Hispanic has nothing to do with race. Most Hispanics you probably run into are Mexicans.

@LatinosarenotaRace Yes, it was evident he was quite clearly a troll or that his level of ignorance was at an unimaginable magnitude. I completely agree with what you said in regards to some African Americans seeing "Latinos" as allies which is why some become upset when they choose to identify as white, even though anyone who has a modicum of intellect should know that Latino/Hispanic isn't a race. I wonder what someone like him would say in front of a blond blue eyed Argentine LOL

This is such a poor story. It is pure reactionary and about feelings. Yeah lets get a young adult that doesn't understand that fifty years ago black people were called negros and not african americans.
If any problem is there it is people now being so diverse and being so wishy washy saying "I'm everything" that they can't sit down and pick what race they are.
What do you want the census to do ask your bloodline? Also every job has always asked about race why don't people rail against that?

Giving a quota or advantage to a certain race assumes that all members of a certain race are, by default, poor and need an artificial leg up. THAT, if you ask me, is kinda racist. It denies that there are middle-class suburban and wealthier minorities, which do exist. It may not be as large as the poorer Black or Hispanic populations, but many exist. It also denies the fact that there are many whites who are pretty fucked economically.

The Census should really just be a federal counting of population. That's it. And use it for very purposes such as reconfiguring the House seats accordingly. No nonsense about "Fair share of funding". No racial crap. Nothing.
What business does the gov't, esp. the feds, have asking us what our race is? Do the census people actually believe that ANY racial issues have been solved by simply collecting this kind of data?
Besides, affirmative action and other shit should be class-based.
whoo689 1 year ago
Class-based is a great idea. Thanks. Unemployment for those in lower quintiles is unbelievable, those under 19K per year are reportedly at 50 percent jobless. And the majority, or 60 percent, make under 60 thousand per year for the entire household. These are the ones who need jobs or have no where to live. I call that important for some action! Discard the race card! Help the corporate slaves !
phnixlady 1 year ago
The Census commercials, some of them anyway, are kind of laughable. "We need to fill out the census so we can get our fair share of funding!" Lol. Yes, feeding the entitlement mentality is why the census is necessary. Nevermind that the constitution guarantees FEDERALISM, including state autonomy, and the census is FEDERAL. It was never meant to grow to the size or magnitude that it is now.

Negro is there because a vast majority of people (black people) identified themselves as such in previous censuses. Negro, originally was an anthropological term, just like Mongol. Later some racist pricks turned it into a racist word.

As the Constitution only allows the number count, I would say that questions asked, that go beyond that allowed by the Constitution, are a BIG DEAL.
If people think that the Constitution is a "living document", than Congress can make amendments to it, to allow for the current unConstitutional illegal questions being asked.
It's the morons who allow our rights to be trampled on.

But ain't race a good thing?
I like all the varieties and different cultures they offer, when I travel.
Mixing them makes the pond of many colored fishes go to the one dominant color only.
I like biodiversity.
Mixing species too much could lead to populations with fading and indifferent cultures, sharing no common norms & values.
They are way more easily to control that way, though, because you won't see them unite to protest/strike.
