[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 901515, member: 13254"] You are kind of contradicting yourself; " I always thought that the [I]individual [/I]gets to identify the ethnic group they belong to if they are mixed race. I have several mixed race friends, who all identify as black because that's how society identified them." . Ya see, I don't care what race zer0 is, it would not change my mind about him if he was all white, all black, all muslim or all christian. I would still think him to be a lying maroon that doesn't care about our country. Now that, that is settled I know a few "half breed" B/W, but have never asked them how they ID themselves, it really isn't my business. However, I know a LOT of "halfbreed" hispanic/whites and 90% have said they ID themselves as hispanic because that puts them into a minority group and is sometimes advantageous to them. The real funny thing is, they don't ID themselves with hispanic enough to learn spanish too. No idea what heritage the name Obama comes from, never heard it until zer0 popped up. Hussein is (if I am not mistaken) arabic. Obama sounds like it could be of african heritage. But I wanna know what difference all that makes? BTW, the majority of ranting about zer0's "blackness" has come from left rhetoric, it seems to me it makes them more difference than it does folks on the right. [/QUOTE]
