US government censuses for the definition of who is "Black" or "Asian".....

[audemarzz]

This Is WHAT WHITE AMERICA does and has always done to pad their population numbers for years how can foreigners not see this when they immigrate and "assimilate" this is what white society does. It's basically an unwritten rule that anyone passing can be classified as white.

That fool said "but argentinians aint white"
Yes they are, and so are mexicans (on paper).
One of us didn't know, either.
Y'all just walking around assuming these people didn't get in where they fit in on the racial hierarchy.
Deads that whole morocco thread, too.
"But it's in africaaaa"
Nobody gives a fukk.

Race is a social construct and this census proves that.

According to the US censuses, Arab Egyptians and Lebanese people are considered "White"...I had no idea.

Black or African American.

A person having origins in any of the Black racial groups of Africa. It includes people who indicate their race as "Black or African American," or report responses such as African American, Jamaican, Haitian, Nigerian, Ethiopian, or Somali. The category also includes groups such as Ghanaian, South African, Barbadian, Kenyan, Liberian, Bahamian, etc.


Asian.

A person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent including, for example, India, China, the Philippine Islands, Japan, Korea, or Vietnam. It includes people who indicate their race as “Asian Indian,” “Chinese,” “Filipino,” “Korean,” “Japanese,” “Vietnamese,” and “Other Asian” or provide other detailed Asian responses such as Pakistani, Cambodian, Hmong, Thai, Bengali, Mien, etc.

White. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa. It includes people who indicate their race as "White" or report responses such as German, Irish, English, Italian, Lebanese, and Egyptian. The category also includes groups such as Polish, French, Iranian, Slavic, Cajun, Chaldean, etc.

Africans really need to reclaim North Africa from those sand cacs

We've had census thread on here plenty in the past few years. Been discussed many times

The way they classify whites is strange af. I bet if they didnt include latinos and arabs and others white people would be a smaller % than their evil hearts desire

 

[Luke Cage]

Not sure why people are surprised. They basically only have 4 categories. You either Black, White, Asian, or Native.

That's what I'm saying.

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

Funny thing is most (fba) Black Americans technically fit both of these categories.

It's just something I think about whenever white people start preaching about "their ancestors".

They're our ancestors too, despite the unfortunate circumstances.

This 100%.

Ironic that some Afro-Arabs with zero European ancestry would be considered "white" but Black Americans could easily be 20% (Don Cheadle), 25% (Dave Chappelle/Zeke Elliott) or 30%+ (Quincy Jones) white and be considered Black.

Based on our history....Black is the correct category but they just inflate the white numbers. There was a time when any Catholic whites (Irish, Italians etc) were barely considered white.

Honestly Asians have the weirdest setup. Sandeep, Manny Pacquiao and Jackie Chan are all in the same group. Like both these nikkas is Asian?

I'm not I'm just like that people like swizz doesn't understand how white America works no one can be that ignorant to the construct of race. America is literally the belly of the beast with cacs here....

That's what happens when you lift your head up from hustling remittances.

The U.S. Census Bureau collects race data in accordance with guidelines provided by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and these data are based on self-identification. The racial categories included in the census questionnaire generally reflect a social definition of race recognized in this country and not an attempt to define race biologically, anthropologically, or genetically. In addition, it is recognized that the categories of the race item include racial and national origin or sociocultural groups. People may choose to report more than one race to indicate their racial mixture, such as "American Indian" and "White." People who identify their origin as Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish may be of any race.

Edit: it's probably because of all the people from multiple races who speak Spanish and live Latin culture. All the Caucasian Argentinians for example ain't checking their race as "White".

I have a feeling if they created a separate category for "Middle East" you're going to get a lot of Eastern Europeans check that off instead of "White" as well.

why is everyone else described as "original peoples" and not africans?

Arabs were White until they got kicked out of Whiteness after The Yalta Conference.
