Damn, now I have to add a line in my "Hispanic Jeopardy Party Games" book for OFF-WHITE.
It's not meant as a diss or anything, it's just that in anthropology circles, there are 2 main groups of whites...Whites (Nordids, Scandinavians,Germans, etc) and Off-Whites (those who aren't you know...white, but more of an off white color...and those are anything from Spaniards to Italians to Lebanese).

BTW, I have Cuban roots.

I saw we make everyone go down to their nearest Home Depot, go to the paint section and ask the guy to match your skin color with the closest color paint they have. Whatever it is, then that's the label you're stuck with. Wouldn't that make for an interesting 2010 census.

That would be great because then we would ALL be minorities and get our benefits!

Why is this topic important ... many Cubans are Caucasian ( white ) in case you had not noticed ..... big deal ... again why is this important ?
