SHOULD WHITE PEOPLE BE REFERED TO AS EUROPEAN AMERICANS?


[+] ballot by keithwood
ACTIVE Wed Sep 27, 06 - Fri Sep 26, 08

I say this because I'm tired of having to refer to black people as African Americans even though their families are firmly rooted in American society, its just too long and tedious. Sure it may be the sign of proper etiquette, but who cares. Now should whites be refered to as European Americans to balance everything out or should we say black and white or asian for short?

yes
no
No,it might offend white Americans,who hate those Ryder Cup winning shower of..;o)
If blacks are refered to as african american then yes, otherwise no
black, white and asian for short
How about just "Americans"?
Caucasoidal-Heinz Americans
As a group, White Americans
Red White & Blue Americans?

Voted : black, white and asian for short
I would prefer to say black, for short, but sometimes it's the blacks that insist on being called african american. What is the proper term to use these days?

No they should be even more specific like say- Italian American or Irish American. that way when Asians get it wrong we could put a guilt trip on them :)

If my memory serves me right I believe it was Jesse Jackson that coined the term african american.

People can just call me Jon.

Please just call me 'American'. What difference does it make where my ancestors are from or my skin color?

I am a (proud) American.

Voted : Caucasoidal-Heinz Americans
"Call people whatever they want to be called."

I have Canadian friends living in the US. I wonder if they prefer to be called Canadian-Americans (I doubt it).

Voted : no
I used to call myself an African-American until when I went to college, when an African man looked at me and said, "You are *not* African. You are *American*." I'll take his word on it.

That would be best- just all 'Americans'.

Or we could just all refer to ourselves as gringos, like they call us in Latin America.

Voted : Red White & Blue Americans?
Beautiful blue eyes. True Blue Americans. Blue bloods and Blue Book. Divine blue of the sky, magnificent blue of the sea. (Black and blue though is not a good thing). First Prize, Blue ribbon.
