Minority Members?
Just out of curiousity, what is the board percentage of minorities?
I am just wondering about the percentage numbers.

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

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.

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.

Lusankya: Deal!
Say, do you want it to be a threesome with your wife? Or a foursome with your wife and sister-in-law? I'm up for either.

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

We should invade anyway, they have good chocolate.
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).Montcalm wrote:French-Canadian from wich province?Dalton wrote:As for me, I'm a whitey mix. German, Irish, Italian and French-Canadian.
I think my French-Canadian ancestor was named Eli Nevue.
