The hypocrisy of racism is astounding to me.

The hypocrisy of racism is astounding to me.

It’s so silly and stupid. Like African American these people are American just like every other citizen of our country. Why should they have special identification such as this?

Perhaps, still I’d venture that 99% of the use of the word racist or racism is not even an accurate use of the word. making it even harder to define whether it’s hypocritical or not.

My Italian American relatives would take issue with that.

Are they Italian?

Ok....then the hypocrisy of prejudice/bigotry/stereotypes/racial offense astounds me.

Americans with Italian heritage/lineage. If you asked them, they are Italian Americans. Doesn’t make them any less American. Just a nod to their heritage. Only point is nobody has ever felt compelled to tell them to drop the word Italian.

You do know that Elon Musk is African American? I have some South African Jews who came to the US decades (or longer) ago. They are African Americans too.

Makes sense to me. Considering many Americans are only a few generations removed from other places, it doesn’t lessen their American-ness to me to have a pride of heritage from another country or continent. I assure you that when we were fighting the Italians in WWII that my great-uncle was shooting for team USA, irrespective of heritage. And, yes they speak English, pledge to our flag, etc. Just maybe get a little more animated about pasta and sauce than others.

Well I guess I will have to call myself American American because I don’t know who my ancestors were.

Well at least them “people of color” (which means they colored) ain’t homeless. Oh, I mean “unhoused.” Are they gentrified or victims of “gentrification” (which means everyone in their neighborhood fixed up their houses except them)?

Alright, alright, alright! As a payment of reparations and gesture of good of will, all people of color get a free ticket to Six Flags!

You really do not hear that anymore (colored)…or at least I do not.

But when I did hear it, I would always axe without fail….what color are they? I either got a laugh or a very puzzled look.

I don’t understand why “colored” is bad but “people of color” gets a pass.

Can anyone tall me when and why we moved from "Afro-American" to "African-American"?

Did Linc Hayes cause it?

And remember - there are no longer any ex-cons. They are "formerly incarcerated persons".

People of color = acceptable
Colored people = unacceptable

Exhibit A of the irony and hypocrisy I was talking about earlier.
