Is Oldies a black?

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

I have problems with the statement African American.  Not all blacks are African American (many of them come from the Caribbean, even if their ancestors were brought there from Africa during the slave trade), and not all African Americans are black (see: Teresa Heinz Kerry).

What term do you prefer we refer to you by?

People of color.

White, because that's what I am.  And why does it matter if I was black?

I could ask you the same question.

Anyways, I agree with SJoyce, as everyone is a "person of colour". I doubt, after all, that we have any genetically-modified transparent frogs on the forum -- although you're welcome to do a poll if you think otherwise.

Why ask? It's a well-established fact. You don't post threads asking "is the sky blue?".

Bushie?
