Caucasian: the \'Other\' white meat
I took my daughter to a small medical clinic located in a Rite Aid drugstore today.
We left with a feedback questionnaire that I agreed to send in, as we had a positive experience and I wanted the LNP to get some props with the medical provider. I did a quick scan of the (optional, of course) ethnicity section. Not finding my daughter's white bread, part-WASP identity listed, I took a closer look. <ul type="square"> Latino/Hispanic Other White etc. etc.[/list] WTF? I've lived in California long enough to understand that I belong to a minority group. But 'other' white? Wow. Being a born Cali girl, this will probably be standard for my girl. But her old school dad has been knocked for a PC loop.

Re: Caucasian: the \'Other\' white meat
This thread needs a dose of the banstick. That terminology has been around for a while and if you thought about it, Hispanic people are genetically from [censored] Spain.

Isn't it a lot of mixture between the Spanish and the Aztecs, Mayans, and whoever else happened to be living in that region?

Re: Caucasian: the \'Other\' white meat
It also includes African/Spanish mixes like Dominicans, which is why it's more properly identified as a culture than as an race, hence the way those forms phrase it. Your traditional Mexican has the same amount of properly European blood as your garden variety Sicilian.
They aren't fellow Aryans, though, so ZOMG PC! It's an outrage that OP's purebreed daughter is getting lumped in with those [censored] mud people.
