Just spotted this thread in an expat forum. Worth reading
because although it's very sensitive, it's damn true. Makes White
people sound almost like Nazis.
***************************************************************************************************
Under what circumstances can someone be considered
caucasian?
Whenever a person has one parent who is white, and one who is
another race, they are ALWAYS without exception, considered to be
essentially the same race as the non white parent.
Examples include Barack Obama, Tiger Woods, Lewis Hamilton,
Maggie Q Denise Keller.
Given that one parent is white, you'd think there's a 50/50
chance of being considered white.
But it NEVER happens.
You might say that well, they dont the same as a pure white
person, do they?
That's true.
But they also do not look like pure African or Asian either.
So why are they always considered to be the "other" race, never
white?
I mean,, it's a 50/50 chance, right?
But no.
It seems being 50% Caucasian isnt good enough to be Caucasian,
but it is enough to make it as an Asian or African.
What is so special about being white that means you have to be
pure caucasian to be considered caucasian?
I expect someone will say- let's just call them mixed, or
Eurasian. That's fine, since they are. But that's really trying to
avoid the question:
Under what circumstances can someone be considered
Caucasian?
