Are you black? I would wager "no", so don't speak for what "a black" would think.

Good god. The comments here read like a compendium of right-wing paranoia. Do they trust any news source other than Matt Drudge? (who's not even a real journalist)

I guess race really is a social construct; it can be deconstructed and reconstructed into whatever is needed at the moment.

Exactly!
You can expect more hispanics to be considered white based on political expediency.
After all neither the Irish or Italians were considered "White" in the late 19th century and early 20th century.

Is THAT what you want me to believe? What a crock. Like I said, find another story. You failed miserably with this one. SMDH
