<"People of Middle Eastern and North African origin or of the original peoples of the Middle East are White"> So, somebody who is black as the ace of spades would be defined as white if they were born in Turkey or Pakistan or Saudi Arabia. Anyway, just how big is the middle east as defined by those ignorant university racists and NSF granters? All this indigenous people's nonsense is basically a way of getting money from taxpayers and special treatment for those who can claim to be in the club. I'm surprised women and ASTM 4 or more people think of themselves as so crippled that they need special favours. Can they really prove they are inadequate, limited human beings needing special treatment compared with other citizens? I think they don't need to prove they are stupid to get the special treatment, just prove they are ethnic or women. Weirdly, women with super duper IQs get the favouritism over men with 2 digit IQs, so not only do they get the DNA advantage, they get the loot too. Not that I'm suggesting low IQ people should get any special favours either. Mqurice

Man I wish I had more time. You guys do have some interesting discussions. Yeah it's silly and I wonder what they would answer you to So an Iranian is white and a Pashtun is Asian? or what? Similar to mq's albino example but I guess less cut and dry would be Pashtuns and Iranians being cousins and language wise the Pashtun language also is an Iranian (Farsi ?) flavour. : infoplease.com And worse what about me being McFrinese, How would one classify an Irish French Chinese ? Can I apply to be an 'Ethnic' Canadian ? regards Kastel a cute and cuddly Canadian (1.8M 84K :O) PS: David are you eating too much ? PPS elmat are you eating enough ?
