[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Forms you fill out only have a category for white/Caucasian, not EuroAmerican. Just because I haven't been to Europe, doesn't mean I haven't been exposed to customs, foods, languages, etc from my grandparents or parents or out of my own interest in my genetic makeup, ancestry, and genealogy. That's like saying Chinese Americans shouldn't call themselves Chinese if they've never been to China. It's like having to call vanilla ice cream white or plain. [b]White is not an absence of ancestry[/b].[/quote] This. White is a (stupid) racial classification. All white people are not from Europe or descended entirely from Europeans. "White" is defined by the United States Census Bureau as "a person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa." White people can also be Hispanic, which includes those of South American (by way of Europe) ancestry. [/quote]
