So how would a person from India* whose parents were South African and of mixed "races" vote, assuming they had an interest in all things Sanish.


*the one in Asia, not the other ones

Indian would fall under the catagory of Asian and there's no Oriental. You're missing a whole lot of ethnic groups.

you made the poll public.....

flogen

This poll is not affiliated with the following:

boards.ie, After Hours(tm), Black(tm), White(tm), Dark & Light Mars Bars (Limited Edition), Bournville Chocolates, That Whisky with the 2 dogs, equality, racism, dalmation breed dogs, old films or Guinness.

Any attempt to improperly give this survey such affiliation would lead to high cost no win no fee legal action on the part of all or any of the above. In court, all would be represented by Jesse Jackson.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_groups These are Ethnic groups...

You asked for ethnic origin, but you give the choice of a race and ethnic background?

You really messed this one up.

Where's the 'purple' option?

I'm actually shocked that somebody could make a post on boards.ie mentioning race and/or ethnicity without being called racist, and with only one mentiond of stormfront (probably just there to verify godwin's principle). Maybe this is a turning point for boards.ie and the whole Irish ultra-liberal left wing extremist movement.

Btw, I'm white, or caucasian as it's properly called, which doesn't make much sense because I'm neither asian nor cauc.

I'm curious how..

a) White + Black = Race.

and

b) Its a public poll. Does the OP have a reason for needing to know what each person falls under?

this poll is a sham. if its a proper boards poll it would have an atari jaguar option.

It's not properly called caucasian. To be caucasian you would have to links to part of the are between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. Also AFAIK you would have to have a different head shape than most Irish people have (more oval ?).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasophobia

Typically, Caucasian people are considered "dark" or "black", with negative connotations nearly identical to the Anglo-Saxon prejudice of "darkness".

At a guess, genetically Irish people would have more in common with North Africans and people from India. It would be like people from the Caucas being described as Irish.

Maybe since many of us are lactose tolerant a more milky name would suit.

Anyway apart from Africans we are all the genetic equilivant of sixth cousins so it's not so much a matter of race rather which branch of the family.

Caucasoid (or Caucasian )

a presumed human "race" consisting of Europeans and other closely related people. The classification is based on the discredited typological model. The term "Caucasoid" was derived from the Caucasus Mountains on the southeast fringe of Europe between the Black and Caspian Seas. This region was once thought to be the homeland of Indo-Europeans.

Discredited, eh? The whole concept of race is pretty messed up and has no real scientific basis anyway.

Ethnicity is better, but not much.
