One thing that's really puzzled and annoyed me in such forums. What is this obsession with being labelled "white" or being labelled "European"? And we all know how subjective those terms are to start with

Why are people intent on having their ethnic groups labelled into such subjective constructs? Whatever happened to just focusing to your ethnic group's label and the unique characteristics and elements that come with it? I just see this obsession of being labelled white as so one-dimensional and petty. For example, cramming Irish, Welch people with Greek, Bulgarian people under one label is just moronic in my view. For the record, I'm not one of the people on the other hand that ignores that there are different races and different people, I just view this obsession of being labelled under such terms a bit childish at times. I think we have to be more "localised" in viewing ethnic groups rather than trying to look at it at such a large scale thus blurring the many differences that exist...
