Would you mind explaining the third choice?
You ask some intriguing questions. To be honest, I usually look at them ans want to flame you...but your topics are always curious.
Are you a pothead?
Would you mind explaining your explanation?Would you mind explaining the third choice?
for example you see african-americans as americans but not asian americans, or you see mexican-americans as americans but not african-americans, or you dont see pakistani americans as americans but everyone else. that means you view not all "non-whites" as the same.

Whites and native Americans I can agree with, but blacks? Slave labor contributed very little to American prosperity. It was a very small part of our economy, so their role is minuscule. They should have been sent back after the Civil War. It would have been easier for blacks to adjust if they had been returned to their native countries and lived among their own kind. They would have been much happier.Would you mind explaining your explanation?for example you see african-americans as americans but not asian americans, or you see mexican-americans as americans but not african-americans, or you dont see pakistani americans as americans but everyone else. that means you view not all "non-whites" as the same.
i read someone saying that only "whites, blacks and native americans" are truly american because whites were the colonisers, blacks the slaves and native americans were before there etc. thats his opinions, how do you feel about that?

It's not about color, it's about slaves. If they had been white they still would have only contributed slightly because there weren't enough slaves to make a real difference. I'm not saying they aren't Americans now, I'm saying that the reason you mentioned (slavery) didn't make them Americans and I'm sure they didn't want to BE Americans then either.Whites and native Americans I can agree with, but blacks?

So you agree that you are not really American?
So you live in Europe... never been to America... and in the "Announcments" section you wanted to change your screenname to "TheAmerican"???! Why?!!
