Well, that's only partially true.

It's a little too late when the child is found in the lake don't ya think?

Why do you say that? Not all "ethnic" restaurants serve food from countries with predominantly non-European populations. I know that restaurants that serve food from European cuisines exist, such as French and Italian cuisines.

I'm sorry, but you are throwing around this word "white" what does that even mean? Italian=white is debateable.

It's a little too early, to execute YOU before YOUR child is found in the lake. Don't you think?

Jeez. How old are you?

I think "whitewashed" was an inappropriate term to use to describe Portland's Caucasian majority, as well.

The word was used frequently in the article.

Why do people think Italians are not white? I don't understand that.

Here's (http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/meta/long_68178.htm - broken link) something for you.


White. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa. It includes people who indicate their race as "White" or report entries such as Irish, German, Italian, Lebanese, Near Easterner, Arab, or Polish.

Europeans are white. Italy is in Europe. Italians are white. It's not debatable; it's true.

How old are you? and what does that have to with anything? I grew up in a majority white area (I'm black) and someone shot a gun off in our class, there were multiple pedophile arrests; not to mention the harassment that some blacks had to deal with. Living in a white area is not always safe.

White and black is a social construct and I doubt if someone from North Africa would consider themselves white, It's all about what YOU feel you are. Some people do not buy into this racial Bull$h!t.
