Seriously, these racists today. Somebody needs to politically-correct their ass. I demand to be known as Czeckloslovakian-American. Affirmative action!
I can't imagine there are too many white americans who would enjoy being called "european-american."
Maybe thats why black people are called african-americans in america, to constantly remind them that they are from africa and they will never be just american but always african-american. Pretty racist IMO, just call them black.
Euro mutt. I dont think ethicity is a good factor to determine race. My family came the the US dirt poor people. If ethnicity determines minority, then I am an ethnic minority. How many polirishgermaniswediwelchs are out there? Its silly is my point. People need to be proud of their heritage, but shouldnt use it as a crutch to get things out of society.
You find it offensive? Don't worry, we'll help you. Hi, I'm Craig and I work for the National Association for the Advancement of Caucasian People (NAACP).
I don't think people would want to refer to me as that English-French-German-Scottish-Irish-Blackfoot-American guy. Seems kind of like a mouthful.muthsera666
What if we just all call each other Muthsera? Morrowind anyone?
i find the term "african american" stupid. who says a black person is from africa??!? use black, use white since you're trying to describe skin color, not ethnicity. the term "black" and the term "white" are not racist.
[QUOTE="1ND1FF3R3NT"]Yes. I'm suing for hate speech if I am not hereby referred to as Irish-English-American.xaos
Yes, that's definitely how the legal system works.
Actually, I could legitimately sue somebody for calling me white, and in much of the United States I would have a solid chance of winning. Take a polisci class.

Take a legal class; hate speech restrictions do not bear legal force in the USA. They are instituted by organizations like universities, but no legal sanctions can be brought, unless slander, libel, or tangible damage resulting from it is shown. Honest!

Hey, if you can sue God for no reason. . .
I always wondered why no insurance company ever tried to sue the Catholic Church, as self-declared representatives of God's authority on Earth, for acts of God.

My emotions have been tangibly damaged...and I know you can't sue specifically for "hate speech" over that, but there are a hundred other claims you could make. It wouldn't be hard to come up with something.

I bet it would; in lieu of evidence for either of our claims, I guess we'll each have to leave it at that.
