The US Govt finally admits that it prefers feelings over pesky facts to advance agenda of special interest groups... The U.S. Census Bureau is bidding farewell to "Negro" on its surveys and forms after more than 100 years of use. The description has come to be viewed as outdated and even offensive by many people in the black community, officials say, so the bureau will reduce the options to "black" or "American-African." http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/OTUS/us-census-bureau-drops-negro-surveys/story?id=18591761
What does a white immigrant from South Africa call himself? Some kid got in trouble at his high school when he called himself "African-American" while running for student body President. But he was both, even though he was white. - - - Updated - - - Eventually, every word used to describe the Negro race will be considered an insult. So we must constantly invent new words to describe this race, but those words will also be ultimately considered insults, and so on.
Bravo. The term 'Negro' is an outdated term harkening back to the era of scientific racism, when society attempted to establish, in one of the most unscientific and unethical ways, that there are distinct biological classifications for groups of people based upon certain variations in the characteristics of humans.
The "term", negro is similar to the term "truth", which is why liberals and American-Africans do not support either...
I see no earthly reason why the citizens of a nation need classifying into groups by ethnicity, religion, colour or whatever-unless someone can come up with one.
I agree. The words "Negro", "black", "Caucasian", "white" should be expunged from govt documents. While they're at it, eliminate "women", "men" and "LezGayBiTranny:.US law should ONLY refer to ALL Americans.
