[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]I don't have a lot of time or energy at the moment, so I'll be brief (hopefully) and to the point. I am not going to change the subject line of this thread. There are 342 posts. Each one has a subject line. Some begin with "Re:" and some don't. Some users may have changed the subject when they replied -- that is possible in case you weren't aware -- just as I did in this reply. There are any number of things that I prioritize ahead of changing the subject in 342 posts.

Second, the debate over the the subject line and the OP's definition of "white" is really missing the forest for the trees. I have literally deleted pages of posts debating that topic and there are still plenty of posts on the same subject. You all have just been going in circles. If there is anyone here who doesn't get it, they never will. So, quit trying to make them. Please return to the actual subject of the thread.

Clearly, the OP's child is unique in her school as the only child of her combination of race and ethnicity. If that interests you and you have a question for the OP, please ask it. If you don't have a question but would rather insult the OP, please find something better to do. If you don't have a question for the OP and are pissed off that she didn't clarify the ethnicity portion of her child's uniqueness, your point has been made. Please move on.

And here is the hard voice of authority, choosing to crush the dissent voiced by a minority. First, deleting my post explaining the request. Second, choosing to maintain a factual mistake over correcting it.

If someone ever wonders why there are so few Hispanics on DCUM, even if we account for over 10% of DC population, simply remember this post.[/quote]

Would you like some cheese with that order? [/quote]

I think you meant Cheese with that [b]whine[/b][i].

Hispanic PP, be honest please... why are you so worked up over this?  Anyone else would have moved on, yet you keep coming back.  Where is your dog in this fight?  And why are you derailing OP's thread by trying to be the top dog?  Not being snarky, but maybe you should start your own thread.  Because at this point you sound really petty.[/quote]

Imagine DCUM had been around 100 years ago.

What would have happened here to the first black person trying to explain why the word "n*gger" is not appropriate?

Yep. Something like "Black PP, be honest please... why are you so worked up over this?  Anyone else would have moved on, yet you keep coming back.  Where is your dog in this fight?  And why are you derailing OP's thread by trying to be the top dog?  Not being snarky, but maybe you should start your own thread.  Because at this point you sound really petty."[/quote]

It appears that I will have to continue deleting your posts, if not actually blocking you from posting. Your point has been made repeatedly in this thread. Even though I have deleted numerous messages, there are still multiple posts in which you explain your position. I am not preventing you from making your point, but preventing you from making it so frequently that nothing else can be discussed.

I am declaring an end to discussion of the subject line of the thread. It has been clearly established beyond any doubt that some Hispanics identify as white and object to not being described as white. That is an important point that we all should keep in mind. But, with that established, this thread really needs to get back on topic. So, additional posts off-topic posts will be deleted.
