Not that I ever approve of the use of the word "cac" nor will you ever catch me using it but Argentinians of Manu's complexion consider themselves white yet latino.

Thats why the US census always have a bunch of "hispanics" that list themselves as white. ANd in a lot of cases... THEY ARE. It's not their fault that in the United States, it's common practice to label anyone speaking spanish as "hispanic" or "latino" and therefore eliminate them from the "white" discussion without truely analyzing their ethnicity. The word "white" isnt strictly reserved for Anglosaxons and other nothern europeans.
Oh and the other one that always gets me when they say: "He's not white he's Italian". :mjlol:
See my point?
True. I'm sure if I'd read up on him I'd have known. Never really did.

Yeah but the point is you dont really need to look him up tho. Just a good look at him and you can tell the man is white

Remember that not all whites have the exact same features just as not all blacks dont have the same features. Blacks with origins from places like (a few examples) Ethiopia, Uganda, Ivory Coast all vary physically. I always find that some of you think that WHITE=ANGLO. Not true.

We like to shyt on Dominicans about them claiming to be white but truth is a LOT of them actually are white. A lot of Cubans ARE white. Just because you have a prejudice system here that automatically categorizes anyone who speaks spanish as nonwhite and therefore labeled "hispanic" doesnt mean it's right. Your language and culture doesnt set your racial makeup.

I wouldn't say prejudice. Just made an incorrect assessment. I probably should've been more specific in my initial statement. It wasn't terribly specific and probably could've looked at it in further detail. Obviously none of us are as different as some might think, but maybe we are more alike than we think too. My initial statement was me interpreting the OP as perceiving manu to be Anglo, whereas I had been under the impression of it being meant as not of Latin blood and not knowing he had Italian ancestry. It's all good. We learn something new every day.

It's mostly semantics
Some Anthropoligists consider there to be only 3 major races of Humans

Caucasiod (ie aryans)
Mongoloid (ie chinese, indians)
Negroid (ie africans)

and thats how some people identify people. you are either asian, african, or caucasian.
some people take this concept further and have about 30 sub categories within these three.

but in reality there are over 5000 unique ethnic groups in the world all with their own language and physical characteristics.
it's best to just refer to people by their nationality because that is generally the most accurate assumation of their cultural heritage and background.

Manu Ginobli is an Argentine

Dirk is a German

Bird is an American

And im fine with that but when these coli clones say "cac" exactly who are they referring to? American-whites? Or All Whites?

How about when they say "n!ggas"? Is it strictly reserved for american-blacks? or all blacks? Because if you notice thats where this thread went wrong
