Posted: 10/15/2002 5:53:34 PM EDT

I am eager to see the percentage of people we tend to piss off on discussions of race and nationalities.

I am european-american just like I wrote in on my 2000 census form.
However I did check white.
You can call me cracker or honky if you widh though. ;)

American
Irish
Sicilian
Polish

I fit that on any forms that ask me my race.
And when I was at RIT, and they asked us in a survey if we supported diversity, I demanded more Irish -Sicilian- Polish - Americans be put on the Student Government, because we were underrepresented.

For some reason they didn't think it was funny.

Most of the guys out here on this tanker are members of the human race, although a couple days ago, we booted ChEng out for a coupla days for being inhuman.

Although on one form a while ago I put down:Gay black jewish female native American disabled war veteran with a pechant for pink panties.

The office pogue made me fill the whole thing out again, though, so i wrote down 'human', which is sometimes debatable.

I forgot to add that I usually leave the 'race' block empty becauser it's none of anyone's business. We're all a fine bunch of bastards this far down the line, and it don't make a rat's ass.

BTW, I know an LEO named O'Malley that actually established residency in Puerto Rico several years back so he could beat some type of dopey affirmative action deal and get promoted to Sgt.He is now some type of thing called a Hispanic. I hear that it's some type of offshoot of the human race. Pretty neat, huh?

Ahhh, a fellow squid and holesnipe. There were two CHENGs in my seafaring days whom I would hang by their balls.

I have some Indians (Cherokee, AKA white folks, and Choctaw) in my ancestry, but without roll numbers (you know, government subsidized education, medical, dental, etc.), the point seems moot.

I am a direct descendant of Daniel Boone. Does that count for anything?

Otherwise, I am just a mongrel.

Just a comment here. The energy of this thread simply amazes me. Sure, some * is going to probably say something ignorant, but as a whole, it's pretty neat. A lot of fun.

I get tired of being called some type of insensitive boor because i support Amendment 2.

Right now, there's a thread going on by one of our guys that stumbled a but and fell off the wagon. The energy being sent to him is amazing. Inhuman, my ass.

A few days ago, another one of our guys lost his beloved dog. The thread sent me almost to tears.

Here we are, curious about raced, and most of us are poking fun at it in a wonderful way.

Insensitive boors, my ass!!!

My last name is Cosby.

I attended Ross S. Sterling High in Houston, just off of Martin Luther King Boulevard.

I play the drums.

Thus, I do have rhythm and can keep a beat.

I like women with meat on their bones, especially a healthy behind.

I love to dance. I can dance very well thank you.

I like rap music and R&B..however, I love all rock music, and country music gives me a nose bleed.

I thought my name was "white boy" when I was in high school, as it WAS predominantly black in 1974.

I dated black women, but married two white girls.

Now to prove I'm white.

I can't play basketball for shit, though I jump pretty high. And there is a certain appendage below the waist that proves I'm a "little" ole whitey.

That being said, many of my best friends to this day are non-white. I believe the first woman that I "loved" was black.......so, make of that what you will...

I was born in the mountains of North Carolina. I grew up in the flat lands of Virginia. There are hundreds of local,state and federal forms on file that say that I am white,so I guess that I'll go with that.(I hope the available choices don't go from white to Caucasian. At my age I hate to have to learn to spell new words.) damm I type slow......

2/8 Scottish (& sur-name)
3/8 German
2/8 Irish
1/8 Cherokee.

Guess that makes me a warlike logical dreamer who is in touch with nature.

Isn't there SOME kind of government dole I can get on with that heritage?

Oh yeah, I guess that make my wife 1/16 Indian by injection!

Edited to say: not that any of it truly matters.

This poll is incomplete. No listings for mixed. No listing for human.

I try not to answer those sorts of questions. If we're really supposed to be color blind, and we are, then there is no point to asking the question.
