What is your race and do you suffer the guilt of paleface?

[dead prez]

Yeah so what's your skin color and are you an authentic American? If not what are you?

Are you on the "everybody else except white people", or would you happen to be white? Do you feel that African Americans (lol political correctness) have been given enough opportunities, and time in the spotlight? What if you were Hispanic, but had a pale complexion that resembles that of the "White man's"? If you were a rapper do you find it awkard and uneasy being identified as white, I dunno, I find it weird how a lot of white rappers have to create a persona, so as not to be labeled as wiggers. Which quite frankly ruins a lot of credibility in rap, and makes it uneasy on both sides, of the ballgame (white and black).

Do you feel that you have enough racial identity, and aren't just labeled or thrown to the side as either "white" or not white? Are you unapolegtic about anything that may have happened in the past between other races, and opt for the "didn't happen in my time, so it's not my fault"? I know quite a few whites who are troubled by their race and at times wish they weren't white, because they feel as if they have special priveleges and a headstart on other races. Do racial jokes of any kind offend you?

How about for those who watch anime, do you feel that those in the shows are all white people instead of asians, unless the artists go out of their way to make racial stereotypes to fit the mold of being asian? How do you think Asians are potrayed in Anime? Or white people who feel that Goku is white, or Asian disgruntled because Luffy's not Asian but really Brazilian? I mean obviously Black people can't really identify and say Goku is black per se, they can only really claim Mr Popo, and quite frankly he's very reminiscint of a Minstrel Show, aka Blackface. Do you think they feel left out not being able to be identified with said characters?

Yes this is a serious thread, and not a parody.

I'm Asian, though I've had some people ask if I was Hispanic or even part black, but those were mostly on rare occasions. The closest I've come to stereotyping were people asking me if I knew karate, was good at math, had a samurai sword, but most of those were tongue in cheek, doesn't help that I have an incredibly Japanese last name that people have repeatedly mocked to varying degrees, even though I'm only like 10 percent Japanese (number I pulled out of my ass).

Maybe he meant cause he's not Muslim the general public doesn't think of him as Arab? I know there are some people that think that..


But yeah, I've been called white, hispanic, once I was even called paki for some reason lol, but I'm arab...so chocolate.

[Bistnal]

zu u got me wrong

In Lebanon, muslims are originally arabs, but christians are descendants of pheonicians, when the arabs came to lebanon they were the muslim population, the one that is predominatley here today....

I guess if you wanna be literal and think about it that way, then yes, you're not arab. But if you speak arabic, live in arab culture, live in a country that the rest of the world considers its citizens as arab, thenI think you can call yourself arab.

I do call myself arab, I'm talkin bout skin ethnicity though

I think if you look similar to other arabs then ethnicity wise for the sake of this simple thread, we're all arab lol

[Bistnal]

I speak arabic, i'm living in an arab country, i'm breathin arabic, so yes, i'm an arab

You don't like meatloaf, how about bananas, they're good for your health.

You can't just simply state that the Christian population in Lebanon is descendant from Phoenicians, because, it isn't linked to a race. Nor can you simply state that the Muslim population in Lebanon is descendant from Arabs, because, it isn't linked to a race. There are a lot of Christian Arabs, and Phoenician Muslims, plus, it is almost impossible to trace down your genetic heritage to prove that you're actually descendant from the Phoenicians. Simply put, because races mingle over time, you could have Persian blood for all we know.

But, yeah, considering the fact that you're white, you're most likely European, if we judge by heritage, then again, like I said, it is near to impossible to be accurate, especially when we're talking about the Middle East. Your blood might be Greek, Jewish, Persian, Arabic, Turkish, Indian, etc...

My mom's black and my dad white, so I am actually half white (duh), but I always get labelled as black. I don't have any problem with it though.
