[quote=Anonymous]Hello White people, White people are the ones that came up with the designation of 'White'.  It's YOUR designation of yourself.

Why?  Because you wanted to distinguish yourself from 'Black'.  Because in those times, people were White, Black (also named by whites), Dark skinned (also named by white), Redskinned (also named by whites) or Oriental (also named by whites).

So this designation is of your own making to distinguish superiority in that 'pristine, White, pure, godly' kind of way over POC.

You even decided Caucasian had to be defined as White, even though that is the correct geographical designation of people of from not only Europe but also from Northern Africa, South Asia, Western Asia and Central Asia.

So OP, you're simply complaining about a term that was invented by none other than "White People".

My guess is that now in 2016 you're feeling left out of having a hyphenated term and are scratching to feel like you belong to something more because you are so far removed from your ancestry and culture of origin.  But you're probably also one of those people that telling other hyphenated Americans to assimilate already and stop saying "well in my culture".
