I'm not trying to be racest. (actually I'm native american not white) We have all these nicer names for our races but it says white?
Its a problem in our society. I hear my mexican friends tease Jessica (whos white) calling her white trash and othe things but if my friend Jessica says anything back to them, shes automatically called racest. Well I guess I'm off topic, but others arent the problem with our racism, we are automatically thinking whites are racest because of that. Why cant we all be called equal.
Or as my friend Josi says, if they are gonna call the white ppl white, then the new racial list should be, black white red yellow and brown to be fair, otherwise call them their proper name!

Any tests/applications/official forms/whatever, that I have ever filled out refer to anyone "white" as Caucasian. This covers a multitude of people of European ancestry. This group is huge because it encompasses so many different people. Isn't that rather ironic. Why doen't they want to know that I'm Polish or Irish? They just want to know if I look different than a European.

The simplest white folks that use the time period " African American" are information anchors. White folks for your every day lifestyles constantly say black, whites in my vicinity constantly name me black. certainly not has a white character known as me a african american.

White people don't have a problem being called white.

I totally agree! I am "white," but really I'm more "peach!" And as far as not being able to comment on other races, I know what you mean! I can be "that white girl over there" but if I refer to someone as a "black person over there" I am racist for describing them by their skin color! Thanks for bringing this up!

That's just more liberal crybaby stuff to wipe the subcultures butts. It doesn't offend whites to be called white because we are the top of the food chain.

Of Course they're not gonna list all those, so they just put white..Although the last test I took it said white/cacasion and black/african american..So I believe your story may be a little ficticious..
