Obama Statement on Jena 6

September 27, 2007 at 11:07 pm (Politics)

Today I stand with those who stand for justice in Jena. The thousands of Americans from every race and region who have descended on this small Louisiana town carry forth the legacy of all those who sat at lunch counters and took freedom rides to strike a blow against injustice wherever it may exist.

Obama went on to state that he would not rest until all people, regardless of race, could beat up white males without fear of reprisal.

The “Anglo” File

September 25, 2007 at 10:36 pm (Humor, Illegal Immigration)

I just took a SurveySpree survey, and got asked this question:

Anglo File

“Anglo?”  I’m not English, thanks.  I know, I know: “Anglo” is an informal term Hispanics use that means “not our kind.”  I also know that some no-class Whites have informal terms they use to designate others as “not our kind,” but fortunately those terms aren’t used in opinion polls.

This is completely beside the point, but now that I’m looking at this list I have no idea what I’d check if I were a Jew.  Are Jews “Anglos?”  They’re not Caucasians, are they?  Or are they?

Hey!  Are you guys Caucasians?  I really don’t know.  I never thought about it until I saw that “Anglo” there.  You’re not Anglo, though.  Right?

How come you don’t get a box?  Are there really more Indians than Jews in the US?  What if you don’t count “Ward Churchills” and “Indians-for-casino-purposes?”

Anyway, I cancelled my SurveySpree subscription.
