What's your background? If your background is Spanish, then you're white.

True Story: The Brazilian government now provides a list of "possible colours" for its citizens during census. In previous years, people would give the oddest possible colours, from "Ochre" to "Green".

It's not always that easy.

I've got Portuguese, Italian, Galician, Dutch, English, German, Arab, Jewish, African and Native Brazilian blood. I didn't recognise myself as being white until my friends (and some TA's) started telling me I was white... then I gave up trying to tell people I'm buff.

(Even though I still think I'm well buff )

The color thing is always odd, I feel like there is a different meaning to race inside of different cultures. In America, gingers would have been discriminated against as Irish men, now they are considered white along with anyone else. My grandfather is Native American but, from a very pale skinned tribe so he is considered white now, which sort of goes against what the American culture has defined as "white" But, after posting on TA I've begun to wonder if I am perhaps Sudanese.

What? If you're Spanish, you're white. End of story.
If I had wanted to say "if you're a giant clusterfuck of every race, then you're not white", I would have said "if you're a giant clusterfuck of every race, then you're not white".

Three years after I originally posted in this thread, and I've been in an interracial relationship (again) for 2 years now. It's not weird, and I love it.

So true... lol

We've definitely gotten more nasty looks from black males than old white ones. So strange... And wtf are you talking about (in 2008) with "black stomach?!"

But I'm not Spanish, I'm the result of a global orgy!

Seriously now: You know what strikes me as odd in former American segregation? How on Earth did African Americans end up with a different accent? I mean, I know how it happened and I know why it happened, but was contact so rare that people didn't sound the same?!
