those out, at work, wherever. I mark "Other", because I my ancestors came from Italy, so I feel that I am an Italian-American. True, I am white, but I mark other just as my protest to certain groups like blacks wanting to be called African-Americans. I have no problem with calling a black person an African-American, just as long as he or she would call me an Italian-American or a European American. Just as that persons ancestors came from Africa (albeit against their will, which wasn't right) my ancestors also came to America to seek a better life for themselves and future generations. If things were so great in Italy, they would've stayed. Anyway, do you see where I'm going with this? Are their any other white people out there who mark "Other" as race when filling this kinda form out?
