Stop arguing for the sake of argument and pick something. You all know what he meant when he said African or European. Black or white. If you don't identify with one of the entries pick 'other'. I am sure in the next 100 years Americans will identify with 'other' more than anything anyway.

I agree with you completely. This isn't some super technical discussion or anything.

But to get technical, I am...

Race: Asian
Ethnicity: Chinese/Vietnamese
Nationality: American

:smile:

This might be the dumbest thread I've ever seen.

If you want to try a poll again collecting what might be useful and interesting information, try 1er population by geographic location. I wouldn't try it until at least March, however.

E82tt6 · 01-15-2008, 12:02 PM

My family has been on this side of the pond so long, I don't know if I count as european anymore, but that's still what I checked off.

1ForAll · 01-28-2008, 12:47 PM

1/2 German and 1/2 Brasilian

BForbes · 01-28-2008, 01:07 PM

There is something wrong with this survey...cant put my finger on what. Theres got to be more Americans than Europeans in here.

Italteen3 · 01-28-2008, 06:17 PM

I am Italian. First generation American actually! So I voted European.

Chinese American.

Ethnicity and Nationality are different, for those of you that don't know. Forget this post if you do know.

Genius, that's even worse than going into a a thread discussion you'd label dumb in the first place then to post in it. I also second the insanely retarded anal retentive behavior displayed by some of our members that have a fixation on making something that's relatively simple complicated, and for no good reason. Not that I care, but seriously.

Ok...ummm....the selections in this poll ARE done a bit strangely. I think better choices would have been:

White (American)
White (european)
African
African-American
Latino
Middle-eastern
Asian
other

Does anyone agree? I sure didnt choose African because I am not "ethnically" African. I have very little in common with Africans. I prefer to refer to myself as American. :headbang:

Well, as this thread was created almost over a year ago I guess you could do that... but I think most got the idea. You probably want to restart it.

adrean8j · 06-04-2008, 12:26 AM

Naw....LOL....I was just trolling thru all the posts and saw it and decided to respond to it. Gotta get my post count up!
