arabs are not caucasian, they are semites.
Ok; what "race" is a Semite? Many Jewish people are Semites and are def lumped in with the rest of us anglo whites here in the US.

Once again, Semitic refers to language, while Caucasian refers to race. The two are not mutually exclusive.

All of my ancestors were sinners; I'm not apologizing for anything they did after the fall.

I do, very well. That doesn't mean I shouldn't point out hypocrisy and racism every chance I get.

Go to corporate America- white man's affirmative action.

350,000 plus European Americans died in this country to end slavery so the butchers bill has been paid a long time ago.

Should not Caucasians apologize for slavery of African Americans pre-1865?? And some sort of apology money to descendants?

Ok, I apologize and I left a big pile of apology money.....in Africa.

Enjoy!!
