How isolating would that be to be stuck at home with just my wife and she's some moron who thinks home-made cloth masks will keep you safe against an airborne respiratory virus? I can't deal with stupidity at all, let alone in my own household. It would be completely crazy to marry a liberal for me, I would be arguing with them constantly.
Only weirdos make every aspect of their lives about politics. Normal people can typically agree to disagree and move on.

I've told her to go find someone more compatible with her, and she could meet someone at one of the protest she goes to. She says it's usually women there and she attracted to conventional men like me. She loves me and takes me back when I leave her or go astray, so I guess I'll stick with her for awhile longer

She won't, she is pretty much just attracted to White and Hispanic men. She does fall over backwards for any cause that she thinks is black related though. She was all over the Michael Brown and Jussie Smollet thing, before it came out as lies, which didn't sway her in the least That's the part that annoys me the most, "lie after lie" and she remains the devoted little Democrat Soldier

I mean would just calling everyone but black people white make you happy? I don't even get why it's a big deal. But maybe it's a big deal to you. Even if hispanic people with brow skin and wavy hair, or East Asian people were called white. They'd still be looked at as being different at the end of the day. Because they don't even look white. But whatever, ultimately racial categories are stupid anyway. I'm more upset that people give these categories any more weight beyond convenient labels.


I think racial categories is such a 18th and 19th century idea. And has really no place in a modern and technologically advanced society. They really don't serve a purpose to anyone but politicians who need to engage certain voting blocs.
Because there is no advantage to being considered white since the 1960s. You don't get affirmative action and preferential treatment by identifying as white instead of "hispanic".

I welcome all of you to join me to rip this stupid label and put it to rest before it gets spread in the media.
Ironically, the POC phrase started being used by people who wanted to piggy back off of black movements, but didn't want to be fully "connected" to black people. Or when people want something done for certain minority groups, while pretending it's for black people. Often used by democrats to pretend they are doing something for black people while the actual thing is for everybody but black people. There are white LGBT people who I've seen call themselves a "person of color". This is how ridiculous that phrase got. Or when they would draw up some legislation or bill or act they would have "minority and people of color" all over the bill, while completely ignoring the needs to black people.

It's funny seeing other people (non-blacks) act like they don't like that phrase, now.

How do conservative males manage to have a liberal GF? I've never knowingly managed to get past the first date with a liberal female. Once they let out some sign they are liberal, I tell them what I think about liberalism and that's the end of that lol.

You can thank the democratic party. They made everything about racial division, so you can't deeply discuss politics without discussing that.

So Caucasians were the first RACE in America to label themselves a Person of Color, by the way, seems people miss that point. Or is the term "White People", "White Race", or "White Power" not referring to a Person of color? After all white is a color, Caucasian is NOT.
I think Indians called us white man and Africans did too at first sighting.
