So because there are different shades of green and red, colors don't exist?

How dare you be proud of your race/ethincity?

It's only politically correct to be proud of your ethnicity/race if you belong to a minority group.

Those quotes are somewhat scary . . . . .

Get this racist out of here.

Az · August 30, 2003, 13:51

oh Caligastia is a racist, all right, but that still doesn't mean that all ethnic groups fluidly transition from one to another. When a group of people would be separated and secluded for a long enough time, it's phenotypical traits wouldn't transit fluidly.

Since y'all seem interested in where my family comes from:

4/8 English, 1/4 German, 1/8 Irish, 1/16 Norwegian, 1/16 Dane.

Again, I AM CANADIAN.

2 of my English relatives go back more that 12 generations here in Canada. That obviously makes me more Canadian than the others.

Ecthy · August 30, 2003, 14:43

8/8 German

Asmodean · August 30, 2003, 16:28

Hmmm...If that's the game, then I'm:

2/8 Swede
6/8 Dane

Asmodean

Odin · August 30, 2003, 16:34

Hmmmm. I'm:

3/4 Norwegian
1/8 Prussian German
1/8 Saxon German

mrmitchell · August 30, 2003, 17:07

8/8 Jackass

Ecthy · August 30, 2003, 18:50

if we go for German STATES even, then I'm 1/2 Saxonian and 1/2 Mecklenburgian

Ecthy · August 30, 2003, 18:52

and some French aristocrats some generations earlier, that's way too little to be in account though

there are also some Danes on my paternal grandmother's site, so maybe I'm 1/8 Dane, but I'm not sure.

I consider myself Brandenburgian though, and so will my descendants be

Hey Player, feel like opening another how to become a true player thread? Give hints to sad undersexed guys like me.

Did I ever tell you guys that my favourite colour isn't turquoise?

Odin · August 30, 2003, 19:51

I have a mild Hapsburg lip, so maybe I have a distant relation to that royal family.

st_swithin · August 30, 2003, 19:54

I got sunburned the first time I spent 8 hours in the Hawaii sun (I've never gotten a burn in Cali).

When I started peeling, the dead skin looked clear to me, so I guess my skin colour is clingfilm.

"Nigger" is a slangy derivative of "Negro." It didn't come into usage until the 18th century.

"Niger" is Latin for "black," of course, but the origins of the name "Niger" for the areas of Africa are thousands of years removed from the word "nigger," and there's certainly no conscious connection.

So why is the N-word so anti-pc then, even in Sweden? When I call someone Jugoslav, no one would protest, despite the obvious relationship to slavery (Eastern Europeans being slaves under the Vikings, hence the word slav as a common name for Russians, Ukrainians, Serbs, etc), but if I would use the N-word, people would throw rocks at me. The argument these guys come up with is that the N-word is related to slavery, despite the fact that it relates not only to black slave descendents living in America but free native Africans living in Africa, Sweden or wherever. As I said, I will continue to use the N-word until...

Good GOD, it's cold in here all of a sudden...

If you are continuing to use the N-word, then why do you refer to it as the N-word?

Actually Boddington's was the one who started that thread.

But I think a follow up is called for.
