What is your race?

[Sonic]

Always wanted to know the racial percentage of Apolyton. Does this website has any other races when white...

Something to note:
Races should be non-mixed. The mix of one great grandfather or less is allowed (so, if you are white and your great grandfather (one of them) was black, you should still vote white)

European means all whites, either in Europe, either in America, Australia, South Africa, etc. It includes Europeans, emigrants of European origin, Europeans, who (their descendants) went overseas via colonialism, Turks, Arabs, other (white) north Africans, Caucassians, etc. It doesn't includes certain people in upper South America/Central America (Brazil, Mexico, etc.) who are mixed of whites and amerindians.

African means all blacks, either in Africa or elesewhere. It includes most of sub-Saharan africans, emigrants of African origin, also many people in America (both north and south) who (their descendants) were sent there through slavetrading.

Asian means all Asians (yellows?), who lives in Asia or elsewhere. It includes Japanese, Mongols, Chinese, Eskimos, Sami, people in SE Asia and emigrants of such origins. It however does not includes Russians who lives in Asia (except certain tribes in Siberia).

American means native Amricans (or Ameridians) only, not Americans as a whole. That means people remaining from all Amerindian tribes, living in reservations or eleswhere, still non-mixed or almost non-mixed with other races

Australian means native Australians (Aborigenos), not Asutralians as a whole. That means descendants of all aborigenos stillnon-mixed or almost non-mixed with whites/other races. That also includes some South Indians/Sri Lankans.

Metiso means those Americans (Hispanics), who are mixed of whites and native Americans. This includes people in South America and Central America, who are commonly reffered to as "Mexicans" or "Hispanics, or people living elsewhere of that origin. If such person is mixed with white or amerindian, it is still considered Metiso unless only one great grandfather is of the other race. Thus the descendants of Metiso will be considered Metiso until the 4th generation.

Black/white means people mixed of black and white races. If such person mixes with black or white it still considered black/white unless only one great grandfather is of the other race. Thus the descendants of black/white person will be considered black/white until the 4th generation.

Other mixed means other unmentioned mixed races, like black/Asian, white/Asian or Aborigeno/Amerindian, etc.

I'm the first who posted his vote! I feel so good

[Sonic]

Paiktis, I know you are human , not a klingon or romulan. This is just a quession what "race inside whole human race". This is not racistic to ask that. Why are "what religion you belong to" or "what nationality you are from" are eligible questions to ask and this is not? Question about religions isn't considered fundamentalism, one about nationalities isn't considered fascist, yes this one is sometimes considered racistic...

I find this thread offensive

[Giancarlo]

I find this thread offensive too.

Who cares about race?

I am a white European like it really matters....

[Frozzy]

I'm a Pakeha(European)/Polynesian(Maori) mix. But I find the thread offensive and it means nothing

So are some of the threads you start AH... but we leave "some" of those open

Personally I find nothing offensive about the content.

I do think the person that started it should stop trying to put people into little boxes and start viewing humans as humans...

[loinburger]

I don't see what's so offensive about the thread. It's dumb, sure, but hardly offensive.

It does require a banana option, though.

[Dom Pedro II]

I think AH was being facetious...

btw, who adds these stars to the threads?? I wouldn't call this 5 stars...

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

I voted other. I'm more of a pinky-beige colour, and I'm not from Europe. Does that help?

[Az]

whoa, your racial definition system sounds almost as complex as the one in the nazi Germany.


oooops.

why don't you just ask: what are your origins? more simple , and could get some interesting stories.

[Frozzy]

I agree with Azazel. It would be more interesting, and it wouldn't be as "rascist" to some people

[Caligastia]

In actuality, the person who started this thread was attempting to put people into radio buttons not little boxes, otherwise we would have a multiple choice poll.

And for the record, I always liked the Superstars obstacle course.

[Al'Kimiya]

I'm Swedish, with 1/16th Norwegian blood. Some blood from northern Sweden, which may explain why my eyes are green and not blue (intermixture with Lapps somewhere in the past maybe?) Pale skin, middle blonde hair.

[Gangerolf]

the poll and your first post don't match

[loinburger]

Maybe people wouldn't have been so upset if the question was "What color is your skin."

[GePap]

Sonic:

First: the word is Mestizo, and not all hispanics are mestizo. There are mullatoes, Zambos and an ednelss graduating scae of these.

White is incorrect as well, since northern Indians are Caucasians, as are Persians and Kurds and Turks and so forth. Of course, you couls always frther bear it down into Celtic, Germanic, Turkish, Slavic and so forth.

Since white is incorrect, so is Asian, since lots of people who live in Asia aren't of the mongoliod (what an ugly term) race.

So forth and so on.

Simply for its inaccuracy, i refuse to vote!

[Frozzy]

Yes. Where is the American and Australian option?

[Gangerolf]

Yeah, I noticed that too. Could the fact that it says "(Time out:0 days after 15-11-2002, 13:04)" after the title have something to do with that? What does that mean?

In reply to those asking "Why do you care what race someone is?" ... geez, simple curiosity isn't enough? It's not something I'm personally curious about, BTW, I just don't think there has to be something wrong with someone who asks about race. Asking this question doesn't imply race-based prejudice any more than asking someone's country of origin implies nationality-based prejudice or asking someone's gender implies sex-based prejudice.

And, while the use of the term "race" to refer to subpopulations of humanity may not exactly be scientific, it's clearly linguistically acceptable because of common usage. And race isn't an invalid concept because people don't always clearly fall into exactly one race, for the same reason that the existence of mules doesn't invalidate the concept of species.

Asian means all Asians (yellows?), who lives in Asia or elsewhere. It includes Japanese, Mongols, Chinese, Eskimos, Sami, people in SE Asia and emigrants of such origins. It however does not includes Russians who lives in Asia (except certain tribes in Siberia).

Samis/Lapps are a 1000 times more caucasian than mongoloid.

why don't you just ask: what are your origins? more simple , and could get some interesting stories.

that would be much better, yes

My Mother family was Irish. My Father family was English and American Native as in Great Grandmother.
In 1860 to early 1900s if I told someone my Great-Great Grandmother was American Native I would be called a haft breed and ran out of town. Today you said it did not count. It does count.
My four children are Eurasian, I think you need to change your poll.
