Read Replies (4) | Respond to of 217938 Koan, if you want to make racial references, more accurate terms are a good idea. Also, racist's should use apostrophe's correctly. <a dog whistle to the racist's that they would keep African-Americans down if they were voted in? > "African American" is a silly word because, for example, Somali immigrants are not African Americans. While they might have arrived from Somalia, they are not Americans, though an anchor baby Somali is an American [at present though that law seems likely to be ditched as has been done in other countries who do not want to be over-run by invaders]. Negro is a perfectly good word which describes what is normally wanting to be defined without having to get into the weeds of whether somebody is a citizen of a particular country or countries. But it's an ill-defined word because Barack Obama for example is not really Negro, being a half-breed. Then there are Cablinasians and other varieties of people and that blending is accelerating as A380s rapidly move people all over the world, with about 3 million people being in the sky at any one time. "Black" is perhaps a better word as it more accurately describes the amount of melanin in somebody's skin. An ASTM colour chart is needed as "Black" "Brown" and "White" are not sufficiently precise. But other than for sun resistance, and vitamin D deficiency risk, it's not a very useful measure. An Ozzie Aborigine immigrant to the USA isn't an African American, nor are they Negro though if there was money on offer for Affirmative Action to "right the wrong of slavery" they would probably qualify. Actually, USA slave descendants should pay a tax in appreciation for having their ancestors bought from the barbarous Africans and sold to the Americans who valued them so much more, thereby enabling those alive now to enjoy the fantastic benefits of USA life. It seems silly to focus on skin colour as a racial description when there are much more important genetic variables such as intelligence, height, haemochromatosis, cystic fibrosis, oncogenes, telomere length and whatnot which DNA determination can now do for something like $1000. You racist's are so last century. It's the 21st century now Koan. Heck, you are more 19th than 20th century. Maybe even 18th century when tribal life ruled the world in alpha male territorial genocidal found-wealth dominance hierarchy. Hooray for Donald Trump who will put you racist's in your place. He'll fix the borders! And get the murdering totalitarian Moslems banned. Mqurice PS: <They want to deport 11 million people, what happens to the children who were born in this country and are naturalized citizens? > Their parents would probably take them with them if they are still young. If the children are old and want to, they'd look after themselves and stay in the USA. Or maybe their parents would find somebody to adopt them in the USA. Deporting 11 million low value people would enable all those unemployed people to get 11 million jobs. It would also save $billions in schools, traffic jams, medical treatment, jihad attacks, gaols and lawyers.
