Poll question: Should fair-skinned Chinese-Americans be classified as white?
   
Poll result (23 votes)

No, anybody from east of Germany is non-white, except the Japanese, who are officially Aryan.   (1 votes, 4%)   
No, for another reason.   (2 votes, 9%)   
Undecided.   (1 votes, 4%)   
Probably   (1 votes, 4%)   
Yes.   (0 votes, 0%)   
Each individual Chinese-American should get to decide whether or not he or she is white.   (6 votes, 26%)
Since when are people classified by ethnicity for any governmental purpose?   (0 votes, 0%)
None of the above   (12 votes, 52%)

1. What's the impetus for this poll?

franksolich thinks it's rather obvious, and a reasonable question to ask.

How "black," for example, is Barry "Goldwater" Obama?

7. Err.. it's a kind of weird and random question and the choices you offer are weird too. It leads one to wonder why the hell you posted it.

6. There are some Japanesse that are shall we say pale...   

That said we really need to get the government out of the Racial census Business.

In America I'm technically black (One drop rule)

In South Africa I would be white

In Europe I'm 100% Irish (Orange bastard at that)

And don't even get me started on sexuality.

14. but to answer the question...
   
skin hue/shade and race are two separate things. Harold Ford is very fair skinned, but still black. Similarly, there may be some whites, indians, etc. who are darker toned than Harold Ford, but they are still considered white/indian.

Tell that to the Obamaite primitives, who think Barry "Goldwater" Obama's "black."

19. My wife is half Chinese
   
When someone who is white wants to be racist towards her she is Chinese. When someone who is not white wants to be racist towards her she is White.

I think she could most aptly be classified as Human.

28. None of the above.
   
None of us should be classified by race. If you are a U.S. resident, and citizen you should just be considered a U.S. citizen. To clarify, non citizens should just be called temp residents or some other suitable term.

Part of why we have race problems is we divide ourseles up along racial lines. We all need to learn to be one.

Yeah, right, like the primitives are going to buy this idea of being non-racist.

30. Wow! People can decide if they are white now?   

In that case, I want to be Chinese. My Godfather traveled the world and brought me things from all over. My favorites were from China... I wanted to be Chinese sooooo bad! I'm serious! I think it was the beautiful porcelain doll and the matching silk jammies she and I wore. Whatever it was, for the longest time I wanted to be Chinese. That only changed when I became friends with several black girls in jr. high... then I decided I wanted to be a black chick cuz they were uber cool. And it was clear to me that their mothers should rule the world because no one would argue with them at all. Not us anyway.

Ah heck. Just make me Tigress Woods and I'll be happy as a clam. This pasty Irish/Welsh/English complexion is boring as all hell.

I only see two races. Normal and whacked-out moonbat. I'd like to exterminate the latter.  :evillaugh:

This does raise an interesting topic that irks me.  You've got someone whose maybe 1/8th "Black", and he's still considered black.  Take a look at Obama's old pastor.  At the end of summer, I'm darker then he is.  Yet he's a black man.  WTF?

Is "white" blood so weak or something that a single drop of another ethnicities over rides it completely?   :whatever:  My son is about 1/4 Korean, 3/4 caucasion, yet we where told to lable his ethnicity as Asian.  Makes no damn sense to me.

BTW, I'm seriously thinking of checking other next time I'm asked. If there's a blank field, I'll say normal. Maybe even conservative depending on the mood I'm in.  :stirpot:
