>The only non-"white" name we get is Caucasian. What in the name of Whistler's mother is that supposed to mean? There's no such place as Caucasia. Next time someone calls me white, I'm going to tell them that, no, I'm not white, I'm Dutch-German-Irish-Hungarian-Scottish-Polish-English-French-American.

actually, Caucasian refers to the Caucus mountains, which are, i believe, in south-Eastern Europe, but I could be wrong. Anyway, I'm not from the Caucus mountains, and, from your list, neither are you, at least mostly. We also have Anglo-American, but that's just England.


>And why do people say to be tolerant of every religion except Christianity? Christianity is what religiong the Founding Fathers were, it is what the Constitution is based on, it is the largest religion in the world, and yet "Stop trying to push your Christian views on me" and "Be tolerant of the Jews, the Muslims, the Buddhists, the New Age people, and the Australian Tree Snail Worshippers, but please, just go away, Christians." That is very upsetting to me.

That's kinda a whole nother issue on its own, really. I personally am a Christian, but I can see where people are coming from in thinking I'm going to push my views on them. Face it, the "Christians" who stand on the street corners yelling "repent or go to hell" tend to give all Christians a bad name. But, yes, I know where you're coming from in being annoyed that Christianity is the one religion that people don't care if its discriminated against.
