tarado, not everywhere is belfast. this is a very different country from what you know. just saying. you can't theorize with any validity, from your own very provincial reality, what goes on elsewhere.

i'm saying this cuz as an immigrant to gringolandia i still don't get this country 100% and i seriously doubt you have a clue from just reading the interwebs

In other words, stop attributing your personality traits to the motherland of your great-great grandparents.

No you're not. Your family has lived in the midwestern USA for three generations.

yes and no. it really depends how assimilated you are and how many generations (if any at all) you're removed from your immigrant ancestors AND how discriminated against they were & had to stick together by or choice force. this country has very strong tendency to segregate & the labels stick.

though it cracks me up people when people desperately cling to some label.

on that note, i went to talk to my neighbor the other day about some nuisance coming from her property and she called my landlord to report "a mexican" that had knocked on her door. my landlord also has the habit of enumerating people according to her ethnicity. people here in new mexico (provincial as fuck) are always asking me where am i from-- complete strangers approach me to ask this in the most rude way. i've opted from answering "al-qaeda". it shuts them the fuck up.

i'm not precisely "mexican" though i'm from some indefinite "south of the border", yet if it's whitie who applies the label, one of the options one can do is appropriate & subvert.

e.g.: "i'm a spicko-american"

but i personally don't like clinging to group labels. groups annoy me. and i don't dance salsa.

One should say that he or she is "black" (means black).

America's ideology is overwhelming.

yes. 'merica is *very different* from france, in a hell of a lot of ways. on the aspect of ethnicities alone, france has been a very homogeneous country until very recent times, even religious differences have been more or less "buried" since the edict of nantes (the jews didn't so much, and they paid), and the government deals with ethnic differences in a very different way, by burying them instead of trying to social engineer them like here (quotas, etc.)

it's annoying that every fucking entry form here asks me for my "race". what the fuck is "race". i always fuck it up-- yet, i understand the fools are trying to equalize the playing field, however coarse their tools.

btw, i recently watched "la noire de..." and fuck, france was no racial paradise 40 years ago and probably isn't today-- i remember in french class we'd read all these newspaper clips of the cops shooting algerians kids.

anyway, tom8to, tomahto...
