Quote:Americans have decided on a president that looks more like "them" than he does "us."Are you sure you want to phrase this that way? It can certainly be read as implying that non-Whites aren't Americans regardless of their citizenship status.
[No, no, wait, what I meant to say was, ha ha ha, well, ha ha . . .umm . . .
[Anyway, that has certainly been the historic view (if by history one means the last two hundred years or so). It's certainly been the case since the creation and expansion of whiteness. The image of the white protestant is still a powerful one. Anyone that is a hyphentate-american is still perceived as being less than fully american by some - not all, but some. And there are more things to be hyphenated with than there are Americans.
[blah de blah de blah.
[So, no, it's not a dead horse. Looking forward to the day it is, though. In my more cynical moments, I think that it'll never happen in my lifetime. Oh, well.]

who says that even now California is probably voting to make sure that the homosexual agenda doesn't get taught in school and that teenage girls get the strapping they deserve for getting up the duff.
on the other hand, eat that supposedly-liberal europe. when was the last time you had a non-white pm? huh?
