you seem to have a strange definition of white

[Mmccqrtb]

Then I guess our über white red neck friends from across the pond should not give us the impression they actually care about this.

he ain't no president yet sonny...

[Klorissana]

Do people still care about skin color? "OHMGZ, he's black, he's evil and eats children!" Ridiculous coming from a country like the USA. They should be a example. We're all the same things, people. Hispanics, Brazilians, Blacks, Europeian Whites... all the same thing. Just with diferent flavors.

America is about an idea (or rather a collection of them), not a people.

This worries me not at all.

Btw, are the expected responses, a "worried/paranoid" response by WASPs and right-wingers, and glee by left-wingers?

because this basically reads "no true American" to me.

How much thought have you given to this troll, really? lets assume i was trolling wasp right-wingers or something (which i wasnt, no decent news-copy thread should have the exact same title as the news item)

why are YOU responding so negatively?

[BigBobdd]

Excellent...

-Arrian The whole thing about America being an idea is something we have cooked up to get around the fact that we have absolutely nothing else that really binds us together. All the traditional things that bind a nation together has been slowly eroded away and as we become more diverse and grow this whole idea theory will be sorely tested. Is the idea strong enough? I honestly don't know that it is. Perhaps in this day and age humans have come far enough to be binded only by an idea but the verdict is far from in.

The only "traditional thing" that bound the nation together was the collective idea. The Constitution and Declaration of Independence. The idea that other traditional things tied Americans together is a fallacy. It just magically worked out then that the US shared a common language/culture. Why didn't the Soviet's collective idea hold them together?

I thought that white people were a minority for years in the states now, with all of those Irish, Italians, Jews, and whatnot.
--- Irish, Italians and Jews are not white?

Within three generations, they did. To the extent that you can say that, the same's true for the current wave of immigration. Certainly with language...

[Viyzarei]

Their appears to be no category for people of mixed race in this study and yet they allude to them.

I think their folding them into the minority groups which results in an inflation to those numbers, as much as half of each minority group could be such mixed peoples. When mixed children are folded into the minority group it will give the false impression that their having more children then the white population, I've lived in Arizona and from first hand experience I can see that theirs a very high degree of mixing between whites and Hispanics. The US will demographically resemble Brazil in a few generations their will be a continuous blend from brown to white with Asian and African overtones. Most people don't realize that Latin America has a full ethnic diversity too it from pure native American to pure European and individual countries have their own mixes, Argentina is whiter then the US and Bolivia is predominantly native. Mexico's about half and half and I've know people from across the spectrum.
