I'm migrating this video from Google Video's servers to Youtube, as I couldn't find a mirror of this particular video already on Youtube.
Tim Wise gives a talk about white privilege and how it affects us all. It's an important video to watch. I find myself linking to it every month or so whenever I hear something utterly ridiculous.

Update: The comment section somehow got turned into white racist echo chamber. So I've disabled comments. I will probably reenable them at a later date.

We the Indigenous peoples of the "Western Hemisphere" have been misrepresented all this time.
The United States CIA Fact Book stated in their website the brake down of Ethnicity of the United Mexican States [Mexico] as the following: mestizo (Amerindian-European) 60%, Amerindian or predominantly Amerindian 30%, white 9%, other 1% .

It's ironic that the U.S Census in the other hand reports the next results for the United States population.
white 79.96%, black 12.85%, Asian 4.43%, Amerindian and Alaska native 0.97%, native Hawaiian and other Pacific islander 0.18%, two or more races 1.61% (July 2007 estimate)
•note: a separate listing for "Hispanic" is not included because the US Census Bureau considers Hispanic to mean a person of Latin American descent (including persons of Cuban, Mexican, or Puerto Rican origin) living in the US who may be of any race or ethnic group (white, black, Asian, Amerindian.); about 15.1% of the total US population is Hispanic .

This is Obviously wrong!
The term "Hispanic" contradicts with the fact that 90% of the migrant population coming from countries like Mexico and entering the United States without a doubt are of American Indian ancestry.
This video is an attempt to bring awareness to the denial of the right to self identify to Indigenous peoples of the "Western Hemisphere"

♦ RACE: a recent idea created by western Europeans following exploration across the world to account for differences among people and justify colonization, conquest, enslavement, and social hierarchy among humans. The term is used to refer to groupings of people according to common origin or background and associated with perceived biological markers. Among humans there are no races except the human race. In biology, the term has limited use, usually associated with organisms or populations that are able to interbreed. Ideas about race are culturally and socially transmitted and form the basis of racism, racial classification and often complex racial identities.

♦Indigenous immigrants to be counted in 2010 Census♦

For most people, describing themselves on the U.S. Census form will be as easy as checking a box: White. Black. American Indian.
But it's not so simple for indigenous immigrants - the Native Americans of Mexico and Central America. They often need more than one box because their ancestry can cover multiple Census categories, and they must also overcome a significant language barrier and a mistrust of government.
The Census Bureau wants to change that in the 2010 count as it tallies immigrant indigenous groups for the first time ever, hoping to get a more complete snapshot of a growing segment of the immigrant population.
In the 2010 Census, the bureau will tabulate handwritten entries specifying that the respondent belongs to a Central American indigenous group such Maya, Nahua, Mixtec, or Purepecha. The list of different populations that end up being counted will be made public when results are released in 2011, said Michele Lowe, spokeswoman for the Census Bureau.
"We're always striving to present an accurate portrait of the American people, and this is part of that effort," said Lowe.
An accurate count is important to the indigenous groups themselves, and to the federal government, which allocates resources to state and local government according to the results.
