I was being sarcastic with that comment.
oh.
I was being sarcastic with that comment.
I don't understand this. I know adopted Oriental kids who are very much into the heritage of their adoptive parents.
Race? You just broke six billion people into a couple of racial categories? Uh, no. I disapprove. I disapprove of the idea of races anyway, since it's not biologically sound, but whatever.
Also, since people can convert into Judaism, you just killed your argument.
Most hearing people have proved themselves to be incapable of making totally indepedent "informed decisions". In reality, it's more a luck and go choice than a real informed decision.
I don't care if that makes you tired to read this, and me an enemy of you, because it's a fact. Else you wouldn't get this tired by chanting "parental decision" to deaf ears that don't get what you are talking about.
The idea that some deaf people in this thread look at hearing people as the enemy is truly paranoid. I feel sorry for you.

Help me out, please.
You aren't saying that African, Asian, Spanish, European, and American are races, are you? I just want to be sure.
How so? That outcome sounds like it should be "cultural" not "ethnic." All of those actions are things you actively choose, as opposed to an ethnicity, which is something you are born to, based on your heritage, biology and geography. My daughter doesn't live in China, doesn't use Chinese languages as her primary means of communication, doesn't live with a Chinese family, may not marry Chinese (tho' she might), doesn't work in a place focused on Chinese-ness. Yet she's ethnically Chinese.
She is biologically Chinese. Are you sure she is Ethnic Chinese?
Wait, sorry, I don't want to be picky, but Jews aren't the only one who get TS. Jews also get a lot of genetic testing and it is on its way to being eradicated from their gene pool now.
Sorry. :/
That's not how we define ethnicity. You wouldn't say a Spaniard and a Mexican are from the same ethnic group. You wouldn't say that people who spoke Latin are from the same ethnic group. It's more than that. I speak English. My neighbor speaks English. Does that make us part of the same ethnic group?
Here's a wiki definition which I like because it's the same one we used in our humanities courses:
Not all deaf are Deaf. A deaf person in Biloxi should know he's part of a certain ethnicity called Deaf. He may not.
Read what I said.. I wrote specifically that I was not going to take the time to list all of them out. It was the sentence right after.. Also, pardon my ignorance, but what does Judaism have to do with this topic?Race? You just broke six billion people into a couple of racial categories? Uh, no. I disapprove. I disapprove of the idea of races anyway, since it's not biologically sound, but whatever.

I'm going to go ahead and add that the scientific community doesn't classify people into racial categories like you just did. It's not medical! Unless you're Mengele.
Somalian, Mexican, Japanese, and German aren't races either. Those are nationalities.I read it as him saying "Somalian, Mexican, Japanese, German..." are races that come from the geographic overarching African, Asian, Spanish, European, American areas.
that's totally uncalled for. parental rights v. Deaf rights of people on the internet to make decisions about your children, your life, your finances...?
I'm gonna go ahead with, "Whoever shot the kid out of her vagina has the final say."
I'm hearing and am capable of making independent and informed decisions. Thanks.
For some humor's sake, Mengele wasn't a geneticist. He just did random observational experiments that served zero function and probably never had a knack for sociology if he classified Jews as a different race just following what Hitler did.Unless you're Mengele.

Nationalities have nothing to do with race.
Circa 2010 census. I hope this can help you understand better.
Nationalities have nothing to do with race.
Somalian, Mexican, Japanese, and German are nationalities.
The people who live within the boundaries of a nation are one nationality but they could be several races and combination of races. Example: There are white, black, and Asian people living in Germany. If they are citizens of that country, then they are Germans. Their nationality is German. Their races are white, black, and Asian.
White and black people live in South Africa. Their nationality is South African because they live within the borders of that nation. Their races are white (formerly called Caucasian) and black (formerly called Negro).
Every kind of race is represented in the United States. All citizens of the US, regardless of race, are of the American nationality.
People's nationalities can change if the political boundaries of their nations change. People's races can't change. A person born white stays white, and a person born black stays black, regardless of where they live.
The Census form is screwy because they try to accommodate political correctness without somehow messing up demographic statistics.
I used the most distinctly identifiable examples but I don't limit them. Note: "The people who live within the boundaries of a nation are one nationality but they could be several races and combination of races."From what I understand in your definition, you likely see it primarily consisting of the five distinct colors.
Maybe you don't focus on political correctness but the Census form developers did. They admitted that they had to make some wording changes because some people found some of those names offensive. Not inaccurate but offensive.Sociologists disagree with the physical skin definition due it being outdated, there is an incorporation of variations subjective to the group, hence not being under one mold. In other words, being white skinned doesn't constitute all of the people who are white. I branched it out. Nor does being tan skinned constitute all Asians. Asian Indians do not fit under the "race" mold of classification with Africans. They are in itself, Asian Indians.
I tend to take a detailed approach into the definitions I use, I am not trying to focus on political correctness.
If that's the case, then maybe the whole concept and labeling of races should be tossed out.I do not believe that the census is screwy. Definitions of race are not in stasis for sociology and can get updated through time. What was defined as race 5 years ago might not be the same as what it was during the 80's. You can see the census of previous years to get this idea across.
No clue, I haven't read how the tally process is done behind the last census.So, N....
What does it do when I put in the census DEAF as race?

Do you understand my point about nationalities?
