Don't think so Tex. I'm an American, born and raised.
Calling me a European-American to justify folks calling themselves, African-Americans, doesn't cut it.

There's even a critical thinking term for that.. equivocation, I think.


Tex? I've never lived in Texas.

And people don't need justification to call themselves whatever they want. Your approval is not required.

Besides, the term European-American is a better equivalent for your question, since it refers to a continent, like "African-American" does. Scottish-American or German-American are a different correlation, because they're countries, not continents.

Wow! And here I thought Germany was a continent. :/



/e And btw, my approval is required if they want to have a conversation with me. Someone comes up to me claiming to be African-American, I will respond: Huh? ...until they become rational again.


There is NO African-American continent, so there can't BE any African-Americans.

It's almost as if Trump reacts aggressively against political rivals, or anyone else who wants to undermine his power...


it's almost like there isn't a single thing in the world he could do that would NOT have you immediately jump to his defence, lol. insulting women is just 'reacting aggressively', huh? austere religious scholar much?
and just for the record, he has denigrated women all his life, long before he became a 'politician', for such 'good reasons' as not looking like his favourite porn star...

you also forgot that trump, when asked about his comments regarding ghislane maxwell, claimed he wished everybody well - so he clearly disagrees with your silly little excuse. ooops, you jumped in front of the gun for him for nothing (again)...

You're just mad b/c you can't call them the n-word without consequences.

The bottom right is usually funny because it's the most ridiculous belief system out of all of them.

LibRight is almost always the butt of the joke, and deservedly so.
I had to chuckle at AuthRight too. Of course it had to end with incest. ^^

LOL. I just want to be able to call Americans... Americans, without consequence.

And... I'm not mad, I'm actually more disappointed that some folk feel the need to run around creating labels for themselves.. like they are special or different than the rest of us... Americans.

well the premise of libertarianism is centered in individual rights, but i think you were one who made a post that i agreed with which the premise was “i trade some limitation of rights for the better of society”

in terms of libertarian-right yeah it’s quite out of touch with how society is today and any hypothetical scenario featuring it ends with an notion of suspending all human interaction in the name of rights “every person is an island”
