I'm more of a beer guy myself. If I'm going to be taking in empty calories, I may as well get drunk. :p

I was thinking, cook a burger with some beer then put on some Wisconsin slices along with every other burger decoration you want that's not an abject sin.

It's seen as a race in American society, largely conflated with being mestizo. It's all rather arbitrary constructs anyway, who is considered white in America has changed a lot in the recent past.

Personally I use Latin American Mestizo in my racial typologies, I still say my race poll thread had the best options. :p

While the precise race is in question, what is certain is that we are persons of colour and need to join our brothers and sisters against our white oppressors.

It would be extremely interesting if this ended up happening on a large scale.

I was honestly expecting there to be way more black people.

I wonder what race Monitor is.

I don't get people not expecting NSG to be really white, or people not thinking that the numbers show NSG as being really white.

You will find many who despise those of Anglo ancestry. Constantly saying that we are by nature a perfidious lot that continually seeks the destruction of Western civilization. That we should have lost the world wars and seen our people conquered. They even sometimes mix in common anti-Semitic tropes into their bigotry against those of Anglo-Saxon heritage.


That sounds like a continuation of the Confederate propaganda claiming biological superiority over Yankees. Or maybe both are drawing on a shared source that goes back earlier. Point is, it has a history going back way before the world wars.

Confederate propaganda claimed that Yankees' ancestors were trouble-makers in Europe before they migrated to New England, which is how this ties into anti-English crap.
