  • "never been any evidence that people vote for their own gender or race"....then why is it well documented that well over 90% of black Americans voted for the black candidate? It was pretty close to 50-50 for all of the other "sub-groups" that were studied.

    You *could* make an argument that black Americans have a reason to "stick together"....but at the same time, you *could* argue that racism against non-blacks is now a bigger problem than racism against black Americans.

  • i think he undermined his whole point if races does not exist then a child of black-white can be called black. because the "black race" is just a social construct. if he says that obama is as white as black then that means he think race does exist becuase he is just saying obama is a hybrid of 2 (real) races.

  • Hitchens is too intelligent for this interviewer to follow what he is saying.

  • Fox News host as vapid as Christopher is brilliant

  • RIP Hitch

  • This is the "terrorist fist jab" lady. A tool.

  • We are divided by race just as dogs are divided by breeds.

  • Hitchens rocked this lady haha. She doesn't know what to say next.

  • LAD. Looks like he had a heavy night before this as well.

  • We need complete anonymity in order to have true and far polling. You shouldn't have your gender or race released. All it's doing is causing politicians to seek a certain group's vote and lie their way to it.

  • @Zipito06 I agree 100%, but it's the DemoKKKRats that wants to keep racial division alive to they can scare minorities into voting for them to they can stay in power.

  • Please visit my channel for the unpopular truth about homosexuality.

    A person does not need hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important differences between heterosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption and homosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption. Even non-religious people know this.

    Homosexual activists, with support from the media, have succeeded at framing themselves as noble victims; it's an effective way to push a social agenda.

  • It's funny that Hitchens doesn't believe that the human species is divided by different races while at the same time that he doubts religion as being true.

    He's just as silly as the creationists!

  • @dgl1962 that makes no sense.

  • Comment removed

  • @dgl1962 The claim that Atheism being a rejection of belief in deities could mean that Atheists don't believe people can believe in deities at all as a matter of semantics, when instead it speaks of their personal disbelief in the idea of a deity at all. He is referring to the origin of our species as he plainly stated in DNA testing his ancestors being from Africa. He is not saying we are not separated by cultural differences at all but that there is no "race" beyond the human one.

  • @AristotlEYE "The claim that Atheism being a rejection of belief in deities could mean that Atheists don't believe people can believe in deities at all as a matter of semantics"

    Now THAT doesn't make sense.

    Hitchens has an extensive track record of disputing the existence of gods.

    Also, there are races within humanity & they're revealed in the way that they metabolize medications, the way that they defer gratification, levels of thrift, introspection, caution & altruism.

  • niggers have tiny dicks and brains.... umad?

  • @iluvstinkypusccc the first part contradicts the infamous stereotype. You mad?

  • @wiibot15

    yeah keyword is stereotype obviously a moral booster but in reality you and all the other niggers have tiny dicks smaller then asians

  • @iluvstinkypusccc Lol, that's a complete falsehood.

    By the way, Things become stereotypes not just out of thin air you know. LOL and The people themselves don't make up the stereotypes about themselves lol. It's the common knowledge or should I say common belief which means the MAJORITY is infamous for this or was at one time. In this case, it's the majority being infamous for having huge members. It's true get over it, by dick is fucking huge.

  • @iluvstinkypusccc By the way, Most black guys I know don't even give to much of a fuck about having extra large junk, or mostly white men that get moral boost or inflated egos about an abnormal dick because you're all fucking psycho perverts.

  • Regardless of whether or not you're a Christian, you need to listen to what Hitchens says. He's accurate on so many things.

  • "...and you continue to be wrong, to my great delight"

  • He has an english accent. Is that hard to understand? He usually makes a lot of sense. Go Hitch!

  • @mlcollins10 - fuck yeah, I love him !

  • Sorry, but, didn't you die?

  • I only want the Grey voters.

  • every interview this guy gives he's sloshed on the drink and his voice is barely comprehensible.

  • @zackhanscom And he still whoops ass.

  • @zackhanscom Much the same as yourself.

  • do Fox have any female presenters that aren't blonde?

  • @klhighbury No. Non blonde people are smart. Fox has no smart people.

  • @chubbm Racist douche bag.

  • @drreedindeed I never mentioned anything about race.

  • There should be a purple one.

  • Smartest man in America... after Matt Stone/Trey Parker... well, tied.

  • @ChickenFaeces matt stone and trey parker are really fucking dumb

  • @Serduun

    What they do is art, packaged in logical, hilarious metaphors.

  • It is an absolute insult to intelligence that Youtube wants to summarize "Your reaction?" by the following: LOL, WOW, EPIC, CUTE, HUH?, FAIL.

    Sad that we've reduced ourselves to this.

  • Good luck to anyone who tries to stop Hitchens finishing his sentence.

  • @RSVJosephV

    SO TRUE.

  • Well fox news, the reason the democratic voters are not voting along lines of race is because democrats, unlike republicans, are not bigoted close minded bible thumping idiots.

  • @Judicial78 Democratic voters don't vote along the lines of race? Ok, let's dissect that a bit. ninety to ninety five percent of the black population vote democrat. As a democrat, you should be able to explain this bit of truth without sounding racist or giving the perception that the black population is seeking a handout. Can't be done, can it? If you wan't to generalize the entire republican voting demographic, you at least need to be honest about the motivation or stigma's of dems.

  • @hatfisc Who said I was a democrat? I think the entire system is shit, but I hate religious bible thumping idiots and I hate the elite republican aristocrats. At least democrats are progressive even though they are still a part of this shitty system.

  • @Judicial78 democrats arent progressive

  • @Serduun Right. Republicans are.  GTFO.

  • @Judicial78 democrats are shit and so are republicans

  • @Serduun Amen.

  • Damn it, Hitchens, at Fox we like to simplify races.

  • @ChristlicherKrieger3 Damn It, Libs, we Libs like to simplify everything by bashing Fox News Channel.

  • @landline00 lol libtard,

  • @ChristlicherKrieger3 No, really. Bashing Fox News Channel is a distraction from the important issues; it's what The Daily Show & Colbert are based on, and however entertaining, it's a distraction from what's really ailing our country.

  • @landline00 You would watch those liberal comedy shows, libtard. Stop being such a demorat and watch a fair and balanced comedy show, the 1/2 Hour News Hour.

  • @ChristlicherKrieger3 Go Obamacare, go $15 trillion debt, go 9% unemployment, go $3 gas prices, go inflation, go failed jobs bill, most of all go DemoKKKrats!!!!!!!

  • @landline00 Figures you support that stuff, libtard.

  • @ChristlicherKrieger3 Go failed schools in every major city that we Dems have controlled for a century! Even the Klan never damaged the black family as much as DemoKKKRatic policies over the last 50 years!

  • @landline00 Fuck demorats, I hate those fucking demoncrats, democraps are responsible for all the problems in my life.

  • A little known fact the most powerful slave traders were Jews. It is the Jews who try to create hatred between blacks and whites. Most educated blacks know this fact.

  • @999YORK Anti-semitism is not becoming of civilised, educated people.

  • haha wow. i never thought of it like that. obama is as white as he is black.

    thank you christopher :)

  • Hitchins...right again.

  • FUCK THIS HOST. She just HAD HAD HAD to interupt him. HOLY SHIT.

  • fox news loves some christopher hitchens lol

  • I'm glad someone said something about this... am I the only one that doesn't think we necessarily voted for a black president?

    I can't tell you how many overly-proud black people I've seen since the election, who act like they've won some kind of "battle against the whites" just because we elected Obama. As strange as that is, it's even more bizarre when you consider that the guy was raised by the white side of his family.

  • @instereovideos before that election the obama in the street was called black. now that he is president you break your own rules and now call him half black. white people stick to your own rules. before black were sidelined from NBA and labelled unfit for sports, lazy etc until somehow the NBA admitterd blacks and they brought their' blackness' into it and stylized the NBA which is now a black thing. now the theory is black are naturaly athletic. stick to your theories white people!!!!!!

  • @akaranjoh I don't know what "rules" you're talking about. I never considered Obama black. The first time I ever saw him, I thought he was a really tan white guy, maybe a Hawaiian guy.

    You sound like a dumb racist to me. Genetically, Obama is mixed, and culturally, he's white. The only think "black" about Obama is the fact that he married a black woman. My point is, black people are trying to make it about race... that's not only racist, it's stupid, because the man is as white as he is black.

  • @instereovideos you are not only poor in reading comprehension but you are also dishonest .. Obama is termed the first african american president not mixed president. obama is registered as ethnically black not mixed. racism is a creation of the white race. if you label me a dumb racist , the white man taught me that. racism is your invention. talking about culture then all US blacks are white because they took the culture of their slave masters.

  • It looks like you're poor in "comprehension," period.

    I don't care how he's "registered," he has a black father and a white mother, and he was raised by whites, so he's ethnically mixed. The slaves had a separate culture, because they weren't included in citizen affairs, and they weren't free. I don't think you know what "race" actually means.

    Racism is not an "invention of the white man." Racism is MUCH older than the United States : ) And you have no fucking clue what you're talking about.

  • @instereovideos i said racism is the invention of the white man not america. am not right in saying that you are poor in reading comprehension? the slaves were not included in citizen affairs but are now and have been for a long time and have adopted the culture of their previous masters in the process . if you were asked about obama before election you would have called him black like every white man does. you don't care how he is registered now because a black man is president.hypocrites.

  • @akaranjoh You are completely fucking stupid.

    Racism has been around since before written history. it didn't start with "whites"... you goddamn moron.

    And no, I didn't call him black before the election. Lots of people did, but that's an error. He's not "black."

    I don't care how he's "registered" because that's not a way to determine someone's race. Hypocrite? No... a hypocrite is someone who wants a "black" president so bad he pretends that someone like Obama is black when he isn't. Sorry.

  • @instereovideos why don't you look up the defn of racism in the dictionary so that you don't sound stupid here.

    probably too that of hypocrisy. from your posts you are angry that a black man is president and looking for every excuse to hide your racism. you ought to care that he is registered black if you were a genuine person. most white people don't like to be told the truth about their feelings on racism because they are guilty enabling blacks to use the RACE CARD to their own advantage

  • @instereovideos a hypocrite is someone who never wanted a black man president and is now very angry that that it has happened. if obama call himself black why are you crying that he denied his 'whiteness'. Obama was here in Oslo for the peace prize. through out the ceremony the culture he was promoting was black culture.how interesting for someone raised by a white mom in a white 'hood'.i am sure if you were present you would have choked to death. the truth is bitter to swallow for hypocrites

  • @akaranjoh

    I don't think you understand what "hypocrite" means.

    I'd be totally fine with a black president. What I'm not fine with is idiots who think that Barack Obama means "blacks beat the whites this time" (that's stupid enough), especially when Obama isn't even a black guy. It's embarrassing for them, and I'm tryin' to help.

    You really are a racist. You think of everything in terms of white and black. I feel sorry for you. I'm not your enemy, but you probably make a lot of them.

  • @instereovideos

    '''i'd be fine with a black president'''' liar . if everyone was as hypocritical as you then i am their enemy. if i think in terms of white and black i learnt from you people. if the white race treated others not like them with dignity and respect there will be no cause for blacks celebrating over obama. you trying to help at the same calling them idiots.did they ask you for help.hypocrite. obama celebrates his blackness more than whiteness & u're choking to death over it. hypo

  • @akaranjoh You're wrong, you think all white people are the same, and you're a racist moron. And your sentences don't even make sense.

    You can go ahead and get the last word or whatever, I just can't read anymore of your stupid responses. So go ahead, but seriously, I'm not going to read it, I'm just going to delete it from my inbox.

  • @instereovideos

    why run away stay here and be schooled dummy.bonafide bigot, racist and hypocritical nincopoop!!!! if u were genuine and not wicked like your like-skinned people you would have celebrated with the blacks even if obama is half white.that is how to help them. don't you care that they suffered so much under your hitlerness. a race that goes around preaching supremacy yet is more animalistic than african dictators.

  • @akaranjoh You're losing. You sound more racist than anyone else on this thread. "Not wicked like your like-skinned people." You do know what a hypocrite is don't you? "HItlerness?" Ok, you're just an ignorant fool who should feel lucky to have the mental capacity to use a computer. Instereovideos is right on the money with how your race assesses everything in black and white. I'm glad that I don't know or have to share breathing room with you marginal human beings.

  • @hatfisc ateast instereovideos was more coherent than you are. scallywag.

  • @akaranjoh I think you may want to try that again genius. It's not my fault that you don't know how to read, write or construct sentences at the fifth grade level.  It's just too painful to watch someone so illiterate try to attempt a youtube argument. Come see me after you get a GED.

  • @hatfisc . when you begin to sound coherent in your argument then i will come after you. addlehead

  • @hatfisc HAHAHAA. Fucking funny.

  • @instereovideos Have you ever considered that black people celebrated Obama's election not because of some "battle against whites" but because they never thought they would see a black president in their lifetimes? Have you ever considered that? Can see past your myopic black vs. white/liberal vs. conservative/rich vs. poor/this vs. that point of view and try to really empathize with another group of people with different experiences? No need to answer, it's quite obvious already.

  • @TheSilverSurpher "No need to answer, it's quite obvious already..."

    Please, don't be that guy.

    Yeah, I've considered it. And when you look at the extremes in black culture, and how so many of them celebrated Obama's victory, it's clear that no, they are not just happy to see a black president in their lifetimes. That's WHY I made the comment (or did you miss that?). That's why I used the phrase "overly proud," not "deservedly proud." There's a difference. Sorry if you think that's "myopic."

  • @instereovideos Since I have no intention of having a back and forth with you, I will just say this: 1) I don't know who "that guy" is, so I apologize if I "being" him. 2) Who are you to judge what's "overly proud"? I can say celebrating Osama Bin Laden's death by dancing in the streets is "overly proud," but you probably wouldn't agree with that observation. If you do agree, fine. If not, that's fine too. I'm sure the the people dancing had there own reasons to celebrate and I wouldn't...

  • @instereovideos want to be that guy that says their celebration inordinate or "overly proud." Have a nice life :)

  • @TheSilverSurpher If you don't know what I meant by "that guy," then you're definitely that guy. : )

    I'm glad you don't want to have a back and forth with me. Seriously, you're not making much sense, so by all means, stop.

    And since you didn't even get close to addressing what I was talking about, I'll just make my point again and let you be done with it. Yes, celebrating Obama's inauguration by making rap songs about how "blacks won" is overly proud, and more so because he's half white.

  • Comment removed

  • @instereovideos "Seriously, you're not making much sense"

    Maybe because you don't have much sense to begin with :)

    Here's some advice, before you blame a group of being "overly proud," whatever that even means, how about you make sure you aren't being overly critical first? Anyway, have a happy life analyzing the celebrations of certain groups of people, it sounds quite rewarding.

  • @TheSilverSurpher I thought you didn't want to go back and forth... I'll do my best to "have a nice life" analyzing people. But I hope you enjoy analyzing my analysis, because it seems that's what you'll be spending your life doing. And I love the quip about me not having "much sense to begin with." That is DEADLY wit.

    "Overly proud" means "more proud than someone should be." Any other painfully obvious stuff you need clarified? :)

  • @instereovideos "more proud than someone should be."

    And, again, we're back to subjectivity. In case you didn't know already, society doesn't place limits on someones pride, that is a subjective and arbitrary judgment. And, generally, when someone makes that judgment about a particular group, it's usually because someone has a prejudice against that group.

    But, you know, you are right about one thing, analyzing another persons prejudice is pretty stupid. So, again, have a nice life :)

  • @TheSilverSurpher You are pretty brilliant, using big philosophical words like "subjectivity." But in case you didn't notice, I didn't say that anything is "objectively" true. It's my... opinion. So yes, it's subjective, and yet that doesn't make it incorrect. I think that a lot of blacks celebrated like idiots when Obama won.

    And you misunderstand the term "prejudice." If I had said "I assume blacks will celebrate foolishly," that would be "pre-judging." I'm JUDGING. There's a difference.

  • @instereovideos It doesn't make it incorrect, you're right, but it doesn't make it correct either. And, yes, while you did make a "judgment" after the celebration, I can't help but to believe that you would have made the same judgment regardless of how black people celebrated, which, BTW, was rather dignified in my opinion. And since that's an opinion, it doesn't mean it's incorrect :)

    Either way, they're both opinions, so why don't we just agree to disagree without being disagreeable? Truce?

  • @TheSilverSurpher cool, believe whatever you want. And next time you want to just "agree to disagree," don't get all bent out of shape by someone's comment...

  • @instereovideos Dude, it's the internet. Other than watching porn, the other big activity is pointless arguing. So, no, I'll continue to voice my opinion as long as it's legal to do so.

  • @TheSilverSurpher cool, do that.

  • @TheSilverSurpher, LOL!!! That's the funniest comment I read all day, and true to boot. WIN!!!

  • We need more Anti Christs.

  • If we say no to racism then we would be forced to say no to the Jewish state.

  • Hitchens is the Anti ChrisT...lol <3 It

  • @RNC100100 What are atheans? I think I know what you mean and now I can tell your a real idiot.

  • Hitchens is bummed out by the rather low level of the "debate".

  • Most black people love Atheans, "Lets get it in son"

  • Atheans are pre-mature people who know nothing, with a bad education. They are the dead walking. God has no use for them.

  • @RNC100100 Yes, he does sound uneducated doesn't he. The bible is the answer to everything isn't it. Forget about research in cures to cancer and things like the human genome. I wanna hear bout plagues, Peodophilia, magic, incest, murder and a god who is unprovable by modern science and know history. But there's always faith! I have faith in Sauron.... God should start shittin... The dark lord has a magic ring mwahahahahaha

  • This guy is retarded.. SATIN, He makes his own rules. Get him out of here with his ignorance. Do you think Atheans stand for peace. Only if you knew. But we have an arrival. Christopher will eventurally meet satin.

  • @RNC100100 Ummm do you mean Satan? Because right now you're talking about fabric

  • @RNC100100 Ok do you mean Satan? Because you are currently talking about fabric, and Atheans isn't a word.

  • @RNC100100 And Atheans isn't a word, what did you mean by that?

  • What a champion this guy is.

  • wow, hitchens owns

  • Well said Hitchens

  • T F J lady

  • Obama had a typical black father and abandoned his family when Obama was two. I could see why blacks could relate to him.

  • @999YORK Why is a typical black father someone who abandones his children?

    That was a very racist remark.

  • @Cryer24597 Percentages. It is not like television where blacks have perfect families and high morals. Try checking criminal records and black on white crime.

  • @999YORK it is better to abandon your child than to be a pedophile and a serial killer. what do you think?

  • Comment removed

  • @cjhmmp THANK YOU FOR WRITING THIS IN ALL CAPS

  • why "race" is a myth for humans:1) human populations have never had long term separations (you need at least 1 million years to get even close to speciation, and human blood groups do not correlate with "race" and every "race" has examples of every allele. 2) All human INDIVIDUALS are genetically different (even twins have different SNP's) so grouping them is always going to simply opinion, subjective/artificial. If you think you can define the boundary of your "race" go ahead.

  • @BornWhiteSupremacy: Aryans were not superior and there more than likely no such people as Aryans and if they were they had features close to Indian peoples. You white people are the most prolific liars on the face of this planet. Much of your history is a damn lie. You white people are no more superior than a roach. I am so sick of you racist people and your "I'm better than everybody" BS. I guess that is why everything you touch is made in China. You white people are so ignorant!

  • well fox news endorses the crazy christian vote which includes the highest level of electorate including cowboys so they can shut up bou that

  • "It looks like Angola, in my case" - I laughed.

  • I'd like to see a black Hiliary Clinton dancing in the Oval Office topless with tassels on her ample tiddies. Now THAT'S politicking.

  • Race exists, and I'm no racist.

  • @jovialduke No, differences exist between people. To believe that there are nice, convenient categories (such as black, white, asian, native american, etc.) is just ridiculous. There has been so much contacts with the different areas of the world that it is impossible to be a single "race." Not to mention, that there are so many inbetween areas between certain "Race Havens."

  • @manmythlegend12 Differences exist between groups of people. Black, White and Asian are stupid terms, but Caucasoid, Negroid and Mongoloid are grounded in science.

  • @jovialduke Obviously there differences. A person from Sweden is different than a Zulu who is different than a guy from china. However, a guy from sweden is only a tiny bit different than a guy from central europe who is only a tiny different than Italian, who is only a little different than a sicilian, who is only a little different than a north african, who is only a little bit different than a sub-saharan, which is only a little different than a Zulu. There are levels, not races.

  • @manmythlegend12 lol, doesn't really work like that. many, many north Africans and italians are just as caucasoid (they show as many caucasoid DNA markers) as swedes and germans. And even if this supposed level system from north to south existed that would only support the claim that all these people have come about due to mixture between two major races. However logic strongly suggests that Italians are not different to Moroccans simply because of geographical placement.

  • Based on what the lady is said, Asians and Mexicans had no one to vote for.

  • Wow...Did Hitch just go on Fox News without getting into a spat (and totally dominating it) with one of the anchors/other guests? This is a historical first that far overshadows "first black president". :P

  • Race is completely cultural and social; there is no biological basis for it.

  • @kalars88 Well, all those professional forensic scientists who can tell the race of a person from their bleached and stripped bones, reconstruct their faces and race from skull morphology, and tell the race of perpetrators of crime from the smallest hair and fluid samples through DNA typing apparently didn't get the memo. You should send them an email. I wonder how many other easily disprovable things you assert so confidently that make you look like a complete idiot? Quite a few, I bet.

  • @jthomas12793 Aw it isn't very nice to call someone a complete idiot who you disagree with. What I basically meant was that race has a more cultural and social basis than biological. Race is mostly visible, anyway. For example, I "look" white while "biologically" I am not. Many people put more emphasis on physical features than actual ancestry. Italians and Irish were considered a separate race from other white people early in the 20th century, and now they are assimilated among whites.

  • Comment removed

  • @jthomas12793 Perhaps I worded myself poorly in my original statement. There are some slight biological differences that may be used in forensics like your pointed out; but, they're of little significance in our daily lives.

    And another example: many of the Latino people may be "biologically" white or black, but we consider them a separate race- Hispanic.

    Don't be so quick to insult someone you disagree with. Just because you're behind a computer screen, you are still talking to another person.

  • harks back to the good old days of the white slave master. If a child was mixed race( Rape of a slave girl rites)it was seen as black because it was deemed as impure or tainted by lovely white folks. Till this day that view lurks in the back of your head like some survival preservation technique. At least the rednecks come out and say it, you guys are full of bull! ur all all bunch of mutated africans.

  • the contrast in intelligence of hitchens and the host is ridiculous.

  • This commentator MUST have been fired after this interview. She is literally "Fair and Balanced."

  • Hitchens always looks pissed off, lol.

  • PLEASE Watch these videos - Lyndon LaRouche explains start of WW III . or - The Obama Deception. here on youtube. Google - Abolish Federal Reserve Petition. and sign it

    peace .

  • as if republicans dont do dat there the best at it

  • his face at the end, during her little joke... hilarious.

  • Wow. Really? An actual fair and balanced Fox News Channel commentator? (at least for this clip). I guess there's a first for everything :O

  • @InternetViking Yeah, he has the tendency to drive over you with a semi-trailer. For good and for worse. I dont agree with him on several key issues, and in debate he will try to drive over the other even if he only has a go cart. Amazingly enough he often manages that as well, but not with impressive rhetorical results. His support of the Iraq invasion for one has led to many a youtube video with questioning rhetorics. But more then not his style is win.

  • we tend to identify with those who are like us. that being said most blacks will vote for obama and women will vote for hillary until, the voters hear the candidates views on the issues. at that point the opinions will change.

  • Race did matter 95% of blacks voted for Obama.

  • @brettsir28 And 95% whites voted for McCain? And what is this blacks thing? The American definition? One drop of "black" blood and you are black? It is retarded. Here in Europe if you have a black parent and a white parent you are called a mullat. If you then have a child with a black the child is black, and if it was with a white he is white. It is all semantics as pretty gawd damn useless.

  • Comment removed

  • @supaglue Here in Norway we say "mulat". If I translate from our wiki, it says "from one darker and one lighter parent" (very translated). You are correct, the term comes from Portuguese, but has another meaning in Scandinavian. It is not offensive here, I have heard people use that description about themselves, and it is common in newspapers etc. I understand your point on cultural self-determination, but I have a Spanish relative, many many gens ago, as most people here (viking). (cont)

  • @GnosticAtheist so can all Northern Norwegians call themselves Spaniards? Or Russians? Or Native Norwegian (Sami)?

    Personally the entire definition based on skin color etc is retarded. :D

  • @GnosticAtheist I agree to a point - however you can be both Norwegian and black. It is difficult to extricate ethinicity from nationalism and where the value of identifying one way or another lies. Perhaps that's a stereotyping problem with labels as a whole?

  • @supaglue Yes, obviously you can. I know several on a personal basis. My cousin is one (adopted) and I study with several born here or adopted. So it is not unheard of at all. In southern Norway the population of nationals of Arab decent is high, and they are naturalized Norwegians. It is more and more useless definitions, as "race" no longer holds much culturally important. Not in my eyes, at least.

  • @GnosticAtheist That's interesting to learn - I had no idea that Norway used the term in a non-perjorative sense - In Spain and the UK it is certainly considered offensive. I suppose the value attached to the particular language and it's connotations will always play a significant factor, when identifying oneself culturally.

  • @supaglue Indeed. I am checking the term now, and it is indeed not a negative. The shortest entry I have found is this: "mulatt -en, -er avkom av neger og hvit" (hereditary from a negro and a white [direct translation]). Remember that Norway does not have a specific racial history. It has been Caucasian until recentry, and as such the terms may seem racist, but they are not meant to be such. Terms as "nigger" is pejorative, while "neger" (negro) is the common for dark skin.

  • @GnosticAtheist - In what Country in Europe do people called someone born mixed race a 'mullatt'? I presume you mean the portuguese 'mulato', which refers to a half-horse-half-donkey offspring. Something tells me that could be found to be offensive. And of course, you miss the point that people have the right to choose their cultural identity as they see fit - so if you have a 'drop of black blood' (whatever that means), you are perfectly entitled to identify yourself as black and vice versa

  • @brettsir28 You mean 95% of the black people who voted, voted Obama. What is your point? If it's the black vote effected the outcome of the election in anyway, I'd like to see the logic behind it considering the black population in America in 2008 was 12.4% (only 13% actually voted) . White people make up 75% of the population, and are the only ones that can decide elections.

  • Race mattered a lot to the bigoted multitudes of McCain/Palin constituents. Thats why this fox talking head appears so incredulous at the concept of people not being racist since race is so important to so many of the Fox staff.
