Why is it when people talk of White people they just call them white?

Question

But when they talk of other races who are not white, the other races get a special title like Blacks = African, Browns= Mexicans or Latinos, Yellows= Asians, Reds= Indians. Should the "whites" play this game to? Germans, Russians, English, Italian, Greek, the list goes on.

The Caucasus or Caucasia is a region in Eurasia bordered on the north by Russia

Answer 1

What the hell are you talking about?

Answer 2

In the USA it's different and sometimes people make less distinctions. I'm black and not from Africa... no one calls blacks Africans it's only the ones that are from Africa! I call a girl in my class German because she is from Germany. (She's white) Only some people ignore nationality and only mention race.

Answer 3

What? I hear white people doing this all the time.

I don't even know where to begin. I've heard "Italian this" and "Italian that" more than I can remember. (Just one example, of course.)

Why should we care anyway? It all boils down to free speech and vocabulary. People say what they want. If you want to be referred to as something other than white then politely let people know.

Answer 4

Maybe because there are many nations that you might have your heritage from. Also, if people didn't put Africa in one big pool, you would just see blacks called black. There are a LOT of nations in Africa, but people treat it as a nationality.

Answer 5

I didn't realize that announcing your identity was playing a "game". If white people want to be called German, Italian, Irish, etc. then why don't they request to be called such? Doesn't seem they really care.

I don't see why you're complaining.

Answer 6

Because whites love America and don't want to be anything else.

Answer 7

because whites don't care if everybody is pc to them! Doesn't hurt us any!

Answer 8

quit making us good honest whites look bad and shut up.

Answer 9

you people aren't special like the rest! Get over it:)
