People seem obsessed with "race" around here lately. Free Duck set me to thinking when she remarked that she marks the "Honky" box on the census form--do i want to be just a plain old Honky for the rest of my days?
Definitely not--i have decided to become a Caucasian. There's much more cachet, and you get to wear cool duds, such as you see in my new avatar picture. And i don't just mean white guy, i mean a real tribal leader in the Caucasus Mountains--tell the truth now, don't i look just like a Muslim tribal chieftan should look?
Bein' Caucasian is sooooooooo cool . . . who knew you could have this much fun with race ? ! ? ! ?
Yeah I had a friend who did that a few years back...
wonder if there will be a space for that on the next census form.
I was wondering where you got the outfit. Hail to the chief...tan.
I like your new avatar, Set.
It makes you look a bit like Setanta Claus.
Merry Christmas, old boy.
It's great, i've been goin' around town just soakin' up the awe i inspire as a Caucasian . . .
Ta, Lordoftheirrelevantobservation, many happy returns of the commercial feeding frenzy to you, too . . .
Question: Could Set be a good Caucasian?
Radio Erivan: In principle yes, but what has he ever done to you?
Hey, i just got started, give a guy time to get his act set-up, will ya, Walter?
Just make sure you distinguish yourself from the hundreds of other "leaders of the white race."
You know, the ones on Maury Pauvich. They are usually dumb and scary dudes.
I was afraid to ask what your av is all about.
I started checking the "Other" box and writing in German American... not that I've ever lived in Germany or even been there, but, I feel that I am not being fairly represented with the choices given.
Do you own a fanny pack? Do you eat macaroni and cheese? Do you enjoy Steven Segal movies?
If you said yes to any of these, you're just a plain old AMERICAN, and probably a white one.
Do you own a fanny pack? No, but my Mom does
Do you eat macaroni and cheese? Only once in a great while
Do you enjoy Steven Segal movies? No.
I always checked native american box.
dammit, I was born right here!
Now though, I think I've found the courage to check caucasian, thanks to you boss, if I may call you that.
I....I feel so free.
I may get a little leaky in a minute....I'll be back.....
You know, CT, as a Caucasian woman, you get to wear really cool threads, too . . . but yer gonna have to bump off about a dozen other women to really make a splash in your new outfit . . .
Well, Hell yes, Son, they're Caucasian ladies . . .
A very lovely 17 year old girl works for me as a garden assistant. This summer she surprised me by describing herself as "African American". I think my skin is darker than hers (I'm Eastern European descent) and we both have the same green eye color and curly dark hair. Her last name is of French descent. I asked her why she thought of herself as African American and she replied her great grandmother was Black. It made me think of that old southern law about "just one drop of blood" could classify you as Black- very convenient for slave owners who created children with their female slaves. I guess you can be whatever you relate to nowadays.
its all about the white folk keepin us colored people.. down
>sigh<
how come WE dont get something cool like caucasian persuasion??
we just get black..or african...
why not.. chocaisun?
Or Brownie?
I've never aspired to become a causasian. if I turn into a decent human bean I will be satisfied. A curd on the official document, a tofu of primodial ooze. I go well with rice.
If yer goin' bald, Set, a baseball cap stays in place better.
