[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is it that white Americans are the only group not allowed to describe themselves according to their ancestry, whereas there are African Americans, Asian and Pacific Islander Americans, Latinos, etc.  I think that's OP's point.  White is an outdated term and does not describe ancestral origin.[/quote]

This is not their choice, I think, it is government making people fill out stupid forms asking for this information. Racism in the US comes from the top, always has and the way things are looking always will, no matter we have African American president. Some of the first immigrants, the celebrated Puritans, cheered and believed that all indigenous people should be killed as they are an obstacle to their God's country.... Manifest destiny, immigration laws meant to limit diverse immigration, prejudice was not only aimed at non-whites here, Slavic, Italian, Irish, Greek, you name it it existed and still exists.  Now you even have racism of old African Americans towards new African immigrants here, you have evangelists voting for person using profane language, which is considered a huge offense, why? Because they are first and foremost racist, no matter religion and proper behavior.[/quote]
