There is nothing wrong with race labeling. I love people of all races. I think that "race labeling" is mostly used for physical identification and seeing which groups need better education opportunities. What you think is a bad thing has many positive uses. I am white, and some of my family is Asian. Coming from a very pro-interracial background, I think it is really ok.

Ahh. You don't understand what Black History Month is about then......


The idea behind black history month is that "blacks don't have enough representation in history". This is stupid. There's literally no point in learning about George Washington's Brother's Friend's Cousin's slave who lit a cannon once or twice in his lifetime.

If people really want to learn black history then there should be a "black history class" and they can learn about literal African history, where blacks were front and center and not substitute extras. Learning about someone who made peanut butter isn't nearly as important as an Ethiopian emperor who humiliated Italy near its peak.

No. So we can all acknowledge the fact that Blacks take 40% of welfare although they only make up 13% of the population.

Oh, and to answer the question, I do not care if they have those race labels on things, The fact is America has numerous races, and statistics are good to have, they tell where we need improvement. With statistics, they cannot lie where are the good places and the bad places, unlike in the old days. Not only that, if you are 'confused' about what your race is, there has always been the 'other' option for you.

Technically it'd be "breedist"

Also does anyone wonder why it's okay to assign intelligence to different breeds of dogs but not humans? Double standards, hmm? After all, the modern dog appeared only a little over 10,000 years ago.

You DO understand how much deeper in shit African countries are, correct?
You DO get that helping someone based on a economic situation, not on skin color, ISN'T racist?
The Appalachians have been an issue since the industrial revolution.
Unless the state governments start giving a shit, noting will change.
Africa is a LOT poorer then most countries, both in amount of poor countries, and how economically screwed they are.

Except that rotweillers and poodles have noticeable differences in genetics that factor into temperament and behavior so you're wrong again.
