You asked, I’ll answer! You do realize that most people are proud of their heritage and that many communities have an ethnic identity, especially in the larger cities. Most probably would not mind adding a code letter for their ethnicities on driver’s license applications or voter registration documents.RKZ said:Race is an attribute that is easy to identify and so it is a useful metric to keep track of. How are police going to identify a Norwegian-American from a Swedish-American if the arrested man is not self-identifying? How about if he lies? How will the public know a Norwegian-American from a Swedish-American when a stranger is walking down the street?
Initially, whatever ethnicity the person identifies him/herself with will have to do. Anything other than “white..” BTW, race is a synthesis born of separatist ideals. Still, I can see the difference in physiognomies of various European groups. An Italian is usually distinguishable from a German, Those from the UK differ in appearance from the French and Mexicans generally look like Indians. Yet, to the chagrin of people like Matthew and Meathead, they are all considered Caucasian.. Including Amerindians AND people from India.
JQ said:BTW, how do you propose that Blacks solve any crime problems when you can’t do it with your own kind? Just curious!
RKZ said:I don't see that white criminality is that large of a problem. You figure out what to do with your community, the goal is to bring down black criminality to white levels and once you do that the perception problem you complain about will go away.
WHOA! Whoa! You have finally said something of great import! You don’t see white criminality as that large of a problem? Tell that to the white criminal’s victims. It’s a huge problem. While you lounge in the comfort of your suburban complex, some white criminal is probably scheming to burglarize your house or rob you through the INTERNET. I make no excuse for Black criminals so stop making excuses for White ones. They are just as dangerous and just as desperate!
