...What kind of question is that? Albinos are white. Americans are green with red polka dots.
And as for asians being yellow...erm, whatever floats your boat. My social studies teacher was rather fond of saying that we're all shades of brown. |

QUOTE(brooklyneast05 @ Feb 24 2008, 12:50 PM)  are you saying i'm not american? are you saying asians aren't americans? Hahaha. I've always considered "American" to be an inherently inaccurate term, considering that we're basically from other places and are all genetic bastards stirred into a giant melting pot. Anyway, yes, yellow Asian, I've heard that before. Red for Indians as well. At this point all I see are chicks and dudes, not really color or nationalities or race or whatever correct/incorrect term is being spanked by grammar nazis. |

Since when are American's white? I view myself as a Caucasian personally. I seriously have never herd American used as a term for "white" people.

In Mi'kmaq the four "Sacred" Colors are red, black, white, and yellow.
Red meaning Native Americans Yellow meaning Asians and black and white are self explanitory. |

Well, okay. But if 'American's are truly white, wouldn't they look like Casper or something? Colors are pretty specific things, yet we're using them to identify such wide parameters. |

Funny story...
So me and a couple of the boys cruising to a party with my friend Aoi (Japanese). She drives like a bat out of hell, and my friend Carlito goes, "Damn, n*gga, slow down!" With her broken Engrish, she responds, "I'm not n*gga, I'm yerrow." Priceless. |

Americans aren't white, Caucasians are white. Americans are a mix of races. When it all comes down to it, Americans are Brown-ish.
