Race?

[Alexander Hamilton]

So?

[Psychic Octopus]

White. You'll soon find that the Atlas Forum has the ethnic composition enquivalent to North Dakota.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Honky, or white if you prefer.

[Alcon]

Saltine cracka.

I object you posting Latino/Hispanic as a race. Real "hispanics from Spain are white while many of those who are called that in the US are Indians from Latin America who speak Spanish.

Hispanics aren't from Spain and you can't judge "real Hispanics" or such, notice I said "identify." And that is the collective term everyone uses and recognizes regardless of your objections. The terminology is acceptable.

[Sewer]

American.

[Middle-aged Europe]

Strictly speaking, there's no such thing as "races"... at least as far as humans are concerned.

So I voted "Other". My ethnicity is German though (for the most part).

[Hash]

White, obviamente.

[Ban my account ffs!]

The correct options would be:

White
Brown

White, by the way.

[Alexander Hamilton]

To all whom are questioning my terminology. I specifically stated "identify", meaning the race you asociate yourself with. So that is the question I would like answered. I don't care if you're "white or brown" or "lime green" or any other color. Just the question I asked.

[War on Want]

Latino.

[Sensei]

I object to the implication that "Hispanic" is a race, and refuse to vote in the poll.

Oh my god.

[Verily]

For the record, Arabs and other Middle Easterners are white on the US Census.

And they aren't in my poll. Stop the damn nitpicking, its a simple question, not an assertion.

[phk]

Asian/Islander/Indian/Arabian

[pogo stick]

White

[Kaine for Senate '18]

White.

You must feel really powerful getting to determine the racial classifications of the Atlas.

At least I wouldn't prefer to have only one race.

Right, which is why blacks are not more prone to get sickle cell anemia.

Please, everybody with a basic formation in biology knows than human races doesn't exist. Blacks are more prone to get sickle cell anemia, true. But not because they are blacks. A genetic mutation happened someday on an african black and the mutation followed some of his descendants. Blacks are more prone to it since they are more likely to select black persons to reproduce. If they were not more likely to choose black people, sickle cell anemia would be more equally distributed between skin colors.

And white persons have other sicknesses like that. Less obvious, since more genetic mixing happened in Europe and in America between different ethnic origins of white persons.

Actually, carrying the sickle-cell gene doesn't make you "black", it probably makes you someone with ancestry from a malaria-stricken area. Since the sickle-cell gene makes you more resistant against malaria, sickle-cell anemia is most prevelant among people who originate from areas where outbreaks of malaria were once common.

Africans from areas where no maleria outbreaks occured are far less likely to get sickle-cell anemia. On the other hand, outbreaks of maleria did occur in other areas of the world than Sub-Saharan Africa and people from that regions could also carry the sickle-cell gene (Arabs or Indians for instance). Historically, it's just so that malaria is/was most common in Sub-Saharan Africa.

[Mechaman]

White.

Native American benefits/aid makes me wish I didn't have the skin of a vampire or hair redder than fire. So what if I'm only 1/8th Commanche (I'm too used to bullsh*tting that I'm Cherokee in Okiesville to get discounts at certain stores), according to my grandmother I'm related to Sacagawea! That should get me something!

[Mint]

White Hispanic. They're not mutually exclusive, I get tired of having to explain that to people.
