Post by Nathan F »

Just out of curiousity, what is the board percentage of minorities?

I am just wondering about the percentage numbers.

I take it by this you mean non-white? Or just minority where you live?

(Would a white guy be considered a minority in, for instance, China?)

Well, yes, non-white is what I was thinking.

Guess I shoulda cleared that up.

When it comes to religion, I am a minority. However the term minority is usually meant to describe people by genetically passed on outward apperance (Race) and I am not a minority within the United States.

With the exception of my atheism I'm probably just about as much of a non-minority as they come.

I'm a rational atheist and a sodomizer of Asian descent in an interracial marriage. I believe I take the prize for being a member of the most minorities.

I'm 1/4 Chinese but it's pretty hard to see I am unless one looks closely at the shape of my eyes. From all outward appearances I'm white, but taking my mixed background into account I'll qualify as a minority.

If I could get together with the girl I want to get together with, and marry her, and have kids, I'd be almost tied with you too, except I'm white. :D

Just a thought...but if the number of people who vote minority outnumber those who vote non-minority, would you still be the minority? :?

:D

According to Census projections, white folks will be a minority by middle of this century if you LUMP all non-white folks together!

I pass for white, but I have a mother whose Vietnamese, so if you look from a percentage DNA standpoint I'm a bit more than 50% Asian. (Which neatly explains my annoyance at race surveys, which I often times answer based on my mood....)

Not a clue. Not sure even what relative it is, though I know it's from my father's side (as my mother is 100% Italian; immigrant, in fact).

I think my French-Canadian ancestor was named Eli Nevue.
