The census is coming!!! What identity will you check off and why???

Lots of opinions of identity have surfaced in different posts about identity, and why you identify yourself as such, often with heated debates and controversy. This is posted to bring up, not a case for controversy, nor adversity, but for healthy discussion. Let's listen and respect ALL opinions and posts. I'd love to hear from ALL!!!

Carrie good for you.

I like how the USA labeled people who speak spanish regardless of race hispanic in the 60"s. No these people belive there own lies. When i tell some one I am taino indian. They like hold up but your names is in spanish and you speak spanish. I got to go into this whole explanation about how last names where used to censor people. So unless you have recent admixture you last name mean nothing. I have to tell them about where hispanic came about, its a linguistic term not racial. These people make these lies up then they belive it.


Good for you carried I hope as she left you kicked her in the butt, LOL....

The USA goverment is attempting to clean this label up. But they are only using once again two races. Whick we obviolsy regardless of how much admixture some of us think we got dont even fit into that. I say yes regardless how much admxiture you got. Cause in DR these idiots now belive that every person that migrated to DR now make up part of my genes pool. As per them I am german,jew, arab, chinese, italian, jap, portogiese, french, brits etc etc etc etc etc. I can not possibly be all these things. But this the lie that we are fed.

post note: the census worker assumed that we were 'hispanic' because of the last names

doesnt matter what you put
my son has "white" put on his birth certificate by a nurse.
you can see a picture of him on my page
it will make you laugh at the nurse
also
a census worker listed all my children as 'white' when i refused to mark the box 'hispanic'
at which point i asked her to leave my house
we know it is not the conquered, but the conqueror who writes history
why would it be different today??
good post
i will be interested to see what others answer with as well
thank you

lol I hate those damn censuses and every time I fill out an application that whole "check the box" thing frustrates me. Sometimes I check "Other" and nothing else, other times I check "Yes" to Hispanic and whatever other options they offer me, and if the application is more detailed then I check "Cuban", "Native American", and "Pacific Islander". But what I would like to check is "None Of Your Goddamn Business"!!

Ops forgot to include the one that no one cares about the one that is the most important the most relevant. That connects us all

Native american (taino)

My point where does it end? We are taino first and then other admixtures. If a hand full of brits mixed in with the hindus how come they dont call themselve britanic. How come african american from the USA dont call themselve britanic?

The way I see it you are 99% taino but you 1% spaniord blood well got forbid I deny my spaniord blood. I mean who should us these things.

Lets see, Many stupit dominican belive that any person and nationality that migrated to kiskeya now make who we are. Which is imposible. But to make it safe I will put

chinese, japanese, german, spaniord, arab, african, italian, jew, british, french,
