i never understood the whole 'african-american' thing. what about people from haiti? or jamaica? do we call them african-american too?
MadelineO
Well, considering the black people in haiti and Jamaica were originally stolen from Africa and sold into slavery on those islands... Yeah.
apolloin
Were they? Do you know that? What if they were hired on as servants and never spent a day in chains their whole life?

When I (white) was 14, I dated a black boy. I asked what his background was, he said i dunno, slave? I never felt so basic in my life.

This is actually a pretty popular opinion. It's not like they call black UK'ers "African Britons"

Slightly different history with black people in the UK versus the US...
GraemeDynard
I've said this a million times. As a white guy, I don't define my European heritage. I'm American. So are you if you are a citizen of the US
strongfkennedy
Yeah, because if you don't say anything, people never question your citizenship or nationality. You can "pass". Visible minorities can't.

Dude. You're missing out on the opportunity to scream "I AM VIKINGGGGGGG!!!"

I don't get why everyone is so butt-hurt over this. She was born in America and says she is American. How is this news?

I think most of it has to do with Oprah's reaction more than Raven's statement.

But I don't get that either! An American born girl saying she is American. Where does all the pearl-clutching come from?

And suddenly I like Raven better as an role-model than Oprah.

How can you like Oprah? She lets loose swarms of bees on her audience.

In the actual interview footage she makes a huge deal out of this statement and says not to air it in the interview.

Raven is a character and the actresses actual name. She had a show on disney called that's so raven. hence the term that's SO raven.

But she's not *from* Africa. African should be a nationality not an ethnicity. Just like whites are Caucasian not Irish-American, etc.

Obviously they all have some African roots eventually. But there's a cutoff point in the generations where you're definitely American.

there is no "cut off point." if that's part of your heritage, it's no one else's say if you want to identify with it.

But if you participate one of the American cultural subsets, you're very solidly American.

If you go really, really far back, yes. But since then humanity itself has changed.

I don't even know what all I am. My list of ancestors includes Irish, French, German, Jewish, and I think Cree and Ojibwe.
EchoOfSnac
Oh, and English.

The wife is Texan of German ancestry. She traced one ancestor back to one of Stephen Austin's original 300 colonists.

That's what I tell people when I travel overseas. "What is this America you keep asking me about? I'm from TEXAS."

albatross17
you could just say European-American
KillerTofu615
90% of Russia isn't part of Europe.
albatross17
2. also ethnically, the country is about 80% European
albatross17
1, the commenter is still mostly European and 2, I would argue that Russia's culture is more European than it is Asian,but that's subjective
wheresthebaby
I'd like a picture of you to confirm
althanan
There's pictures of me around the internet, though I keep them disassociated from this username for anonymity. Mostly look Irish.
wheresthebaby
awh boo. I'll call you irish from now on.
althanan
If you like, sure. I mostly identify that way anyways, it's most of my blood and I take after that ancestry well.

TheCanadianNerd
Right? Grandma moved there in the 50s? Grandpa's family had been there for like 150 years. They lived in "Savannah La Mar". I wanna visit.
Thismayormaynotbeaperson
That's pretty cool, my family was one of the first here. Got a one way ticket from France to PEI 300 years ago and haven't moved since.
TheCanadianNerd
Damn, that's cool as fuck. My grandma and grandpa moved to Canada cause they had 3 daughters and wanted dat Canadian life. :P

What are you going to do if I don't, Limey? Give me some marijuana and then apologize for doing so?
TheCanadianNerd
I mean, I'll give you all the marijuanas if you smoke them with me at least.

I would take you up on this offer twice if I still smoked.
TheCanadianNerd
Hmm, well, I just started smoking last month. So I guess we're just on different schedules.
