President Barack Obama signed a bill into law Friday banning the federal government from using the terms “Negro” and “Oriental,” making the official terms African-American and Asian-American. The measure, H.R.4238, was an amendment to the Local Public Works Capital Development and Investment Act of 1976 to modernize terms relating to minorities. The legislation passed unanimously in the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate earlier this year. The law also updates the terms the U.S. federal government uses to describe minorities. American Indians will now be referred to as Native Americans, while, according to the law’s language, a “Spanish speaking individual of Spanish descent” will be referred to as Hispanic. “Many Americans may not be aware that the word ‘Oriental’ is derogatory,” said Rep. Grace Meng of New York and one of the bill’s original sponsors. “But it is an insulting term that needed to be removed from the books, and I am extremely pleased that my legislation to do that is now the law of the land.” “The term ‘Oriental’ has no place in federal law and at long last this insulting and outdated term will be gone for good,” said Rep. Meng. Rep. Meng pushed through similar legislation in 2009, while working in the New York state legislature. A bill mirroring the law Obama signed Friday is being backed by Washington State Senator Pramila Jayapal. Last month, the Library of Congress began revising its official use of terms like “illegal alien” and “alien” on its subject headings after a group of college activists and the American Library Association protested the agency’s use of those phrases. “Our country is a rich tapestry of cultural backgrounds, and Americans of all backgrounds deserve to be treated with dignity and respect,” said California Republican Rep. Ed Royce, an original cosponsor of the bill.

I guess that makes me European-American but in reality im just an American!!! If you want to be hyphenated how about just go back to were you are hyphenated from and leave America a better place! This is how they split America by separating America by class. That way you can pit two or more classes against each other and pull out the minority clause to protect one over the other!
The "they" who did the hard splitting of America were those who decided that black people could be held in a permanent state of slavery and then - once freed from slavery - could be forcibly held in legal subjection and segregated out. Our entire history of fraught race relations stems from those evils.
I'm glad I use the term Ornamental for those small, yellow folks.
EXCELLENT proposal !! Si vis pacem, para bellum Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. There are no Carthaginian terrorists. President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people. --Clint Eastwood "I am concerned for the security of our great nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within." -- General Douglas MacArthur
With all the problems facing this nation: unemployment, debt, too much immigration, no industry, etc, etc, etc. And these asswipes have time to spend on bullshit like this?? The house & the Senate both need a hell of a house cleaning!! VOTE OUT ALL INCUMBENTS !!!

OMG is that all you are ever going to say? Nearly 300 years ago to become a new nations compromises had to be made and yes black people got thrown under the bus to make it happen. It took awhile but black people got their rights and what do they do with those rights, bitch and moan? I have had it if you don't want to be apart of western society get the fuck out and see the real world of Africa and then you can count your blessing in America!!!!!!!
Hard, dog-fang-and-fire-hose-enforced segregation was the law of the land in my lifetime. Blacks and whites who married were persecuted by the government when I was in middle school. Today, economic segregation is the rule across America. As far as your "Get the fuck out", who the fuck are YOU to be telling anybody to get out? Ever served in uniform, son? Every been in combat for this nation you're so ready to act as self-appointed gatekeeper for, boy? Until you have, you have no standing to be talking down to me. I fought for this country, and THEREFORE I have the FULL RIGHT of a FULL CITIZEN to exercise my free speech and make the points I make. And if you don't like it, tough titty. It's a free country. You're going to hear lots of things you don't like, and you can mewl and puke like a pussy all you want, but nobody gives a shit that you don't like it. You're going to take it, your fellow citizens are not going to shut up. This is America and people are going to say what they think. If you can't handle the truth, then leave.
I ate at a Chinese Joint on Friday. Rose, our waitress is yellow.
I have travelled widely in China and I can't say I have seen a yellow person
Were you wearing your rose-colored lenses?
Ever lived or spent much time in a black society? A Hispanic society? Asian society? In my experience here's how these rank from the most racist/prejudice to the least: Asian, black, Hispanic, white. I don't have any experience with American Indian societies. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
So someone from Saudi Arabia is now Asian? потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
We no care for you pale faces.
We no care for you pale faces. Ow, that's racist. You hurt my feelings. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
I'm betting words like Cracka,white debbil,and honkie are still and will remain perfectly acceptable.

Absolutely untrue. When blacks are poor in America it's because they are content to live on welfare and food stamps in public housing because they are too lazy to get out of bed to show up at middle-class or upper-class AA jobs held open for them regardless of their lack of qualifications.

What does the bill designate using as a term for Jamaicans or native Australians (Aborigines) who look totally black? I don’t think they can be called “Africans.” One problem with the term "African-American" is that many people get so accustomed to using it to refer to any black person that they'll misapply it to all black people. Is the word 'black people' offensive in other English speaking countries? What are black people called in other countries? In the Netherlands, usually it's 'zwart' (black) or 'donker' (dark). The word 'neger' (sort of like negro) is also still fairly acceptable. A problem with "African-American" is that is sounds like a euphemism. Euphemisms usually imply that what you are talking about is of some lesser value, so you have to give it a better name, so when you say "African American" as opposed to just "black" you are implying that it's somehow bad to be black, but ok to be white.
I would like to think so, I'm not saying their skin isn't dark or different to mine, the only red indian I have ever seen came from south america, to me they are brown just like many people and black people are black. I think it must come from living in a place where people are sun tanned
That's because they are more urine colored. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
"Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD . . . " ~Psalm 33:12a
In France, the standard term is just "Noir" - black - or "metisse" for pretty mixed-race people.
I have often times said that it is not the "word" that's the problem ... it is the "sentiment" of the person using the word. If I were a racist, I could say "African-American" with so much disdain and contempt and with a such a horrendous scowling face that I would immediately be named the Grand Wizard of the KKK. To defeat racism, you need to change attitudes and not words. You would think that Obama and others afflicted with PCitis should know all of this ... you would think.

You can never defeat racism. People are in competition, and race is an obvious physical feature and so will always be referred to. What you can do is knock down any legal impediment to the equality of the races, and address the impediments that remain with people subject to bad law on account of that law.
True. There was even at least one tribe of American Indians that were black when Jamestown was created in 1607. Ralph White and others did a lot of traveling by boat,and he drew a lot of pictures of the people,the plants,and the terrain,as well as describing them the best he could. This particular tribe was very small and living in what is now northeastern SC. Just a couple of decades later they were extinct. It is thought they were just absorbed into larger local tribes,but nobody knows for sure. And nobody knows how or when they first appeared there. There were also other tribes that were very dark,and some that were as white as the English. Eveybody wants to think American Indians all looked like the ones we grew up seeing in cowboy movies,but it just ain't so. BOYCOTT PAYPAL AND CLOSE YOUR PP ACCOUNTS NOW!

I lived in Asia for 4.5 years while in the army,and did some traveling. Trust me,there ARE "yellow" Asians. Many millions of them. There are also some Asians dark enough to pass for Africans,but other than the wide nose useful in hot climates,they don't have African features or hair,and on some Pacific Islands there are people that are visually indistinguishable from actual Africans. "Asians" is a "big" word that "fits" around a lot of different peoples. Hell,the "original" Japanese had blonde or red hair,and blue or green eyes,and to the best of my knowledge the main island of Japan has always been considered to be in Asia.

Which is how actual Africans say it. There are good reasons none of the "professional African-Americans" moved to Africa to live and stayed. The Africans have nothing but contempt for them,and don't want them. BOYCOTT PAYPAL AND CLOSE YOUR PP ACCOUNTS NOW! ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO SO,TOO! ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION!

Defeating racism is the LAST thing the DNC or the leftist self-styled "intellectuals" want. It would upset their apple cart,which is built around creating differences that split the country and the people so we can become divided enough they,who are a much tinier minority that the blacks,can come in and take over.

You can never defeat racism. Ahhh,but you CAN defeat the hatred and conflict that is created by government-enforced favoritism. Racism itself is harmless and natural. What could be more natural that not trusting people that look,dress,and talk different than you? You can be racist and get along just fine with others when it comes to doing business and living in peace with other that look,talk,and act differently. People have been doing this all over the globe for tens of thousands of years. It only became a real issue when the government took over and created special classes of "protected people" with rights and privileges the rest of us don't have,and enforce that GOVERNMENT racism at gun point with prison sentences. Let people alone to find their own level,and almost all the problems go away. BOYCOTT PAYPAL AND CLOSE YOUR PP ACCOUNTS NOW! ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO SO,TOO! ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION!

Yeah. Me, too. Where's my executive order forcing people to refer to me that way? African-American, my ass. They don't even know who their daddy is, much less their African ancestry.
Back in the day, when I dwelt among persons of color, I was most often referred to as a 'rabbit'. Affectionately, I'm sure. There are three kinds of people in the world: those that can add and those that can't
Wanting to fuck with them because they are new and interesting and don't look like your cousins. The new is fresh and exciting, and prevents the congenital deformities that come with inbreeding.

Mexico’s census bureau has recognized the country’s black population in a national survey that found there are approximately 1.4 million citizens (1.2% of the population) who self-identify as “Afro-Mexican.” Also known as "Black Mexicans," they are an ethnic group made up of recent immigrants of African descent to Mexico and the descendants of slaves, such as in the communities of the Costa Chica of Oaxaca and Guerrero, Veracruz and in some cities in northern Mexico. When they are in this country, they should not be referred to as "African-Americans. This country is so fucked up in so many ways with PCitis.
Yup. "PCitis" (good term,btw) is a wet dream come true for lawyers and government officials because it is the gateway to criminalize EVERYTHING because the "crime/harm" is ENTIRELY from the POV of the alleged "victim". Which leaves the defendant in the position of having to prove they are innocent. Something which is impossible to do. BOYCOTT PAYPAL AND CLOSE YOUR PP ACCOUNTS NOW! ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO SO,TOO!
