"Mixed people exist racist!!!" - twitter

plus jewish isnt a race really. I mean it can be but you totally see most jewish people identify as jewish and white or jewish and arab.

Same as hispanic. It’s not really a “race”. So you have hispanic people who often identify as both hispanic and white, or hispanic and black, or hispanic and native american.

If I'm not wrong, these categories are exclusive in the US census.

Which is really weird and is more just a tell on how the US elite racialises different groups than anything.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
