This happened a lot in my home town. You would get an extra point toward getting hired as a Sheriff if you are Hispanic... I knew a guy who went from being Mr. Rodgers to Mr. Rodriguez :rolleyes:

What ever it takes to get hired I suppose.

I had a prof in college who was a biologist and not too political, and said there is only one race, human, technically, and all the other claimed races were not races and were boloney. There is no more division once you get to human race from the point of view of classification of species.

If he broke into your car, how would describe him to the police?

as the guy bleeding from rock salt wounds to his rear end?

So physical looks is your standard? If not please describe how you know the BHO is "in fact" black.

Now we have the advantage factor. In real life, according to your viewpoint, some folks will change what they want others to view them as so that they can have an advantage in society?

He is " in fact, black" because that suits JR's political motives.

No, he is in fact, black, because that is what he is. If you were not aware one of his parents were white, how would you describe him?

hey, i'm out in the sun a lot, and some people think i am greek or italian. so what. just because some people dislike obama because of his alleged "race' (and some like him because of his "race) doesn't mean its a valid way of assessing him. might as well decide that people with widow's peaks are ... devils. like eddie munster. or grandpa munster? makes as much sense.

You determine your 'race' by first figuring out which answer will be the most beneficial to you. ;)

For the third time- do you have a reason for coming to that conclusion or any conclusion about the alleged race of anyone?

Why is it beneficial to be one race and not another?

this is a question I've always asked... maybe its growing up in CA, or just being younger, but when it comes to assessing someone for a job, the first question is "how well will you do the job"
I hate affirmative action, and "good 'ol boy" deals alike. any time race gets in the way of letting the most qualified person do the job, well its Bull$hi#

Since he is exactly 50% white, then he can certainly call himself white. Race is a social construct. Only about 15 of our 35,000 genes deal with skin color.
