The thread has more substance than all your posts combined.

They give a political entity (the US) God-like status. How dumb is that??
"Let's get rid of all hyphens and labels!!!

In Regents of the University of California v. Bakke (1978), the Court ruled the use of specific racial quotas (numbers) was un-Constitutional. ‘Bean counting’ hasn’t occurred for 33 years.
