I prefer "mixed", because I'm not bi-racial.
As far as I know (basing this on my Mexican sister in law) the correct and appropriate thing to call people from Mexico is "Mexican". Because they are. It's kind of rude to call, say, a Chilean or a USAsian "Mexican" though, so if you don't know, "Hispanic" is correct. I think prefacing little-i indian with "American" is fine for clarity. Personally. But I'm not in charge. African-American, IMO, sounds stupid unless you're talking about a naturalized citizen, in which case I think it would make more sense to refer to their actual country of origin... but if you're just talking about their appearance, I personally think "black" is fine. My new semi-boyfriend is of Irish descent, and the sense of Irish ethnicity is still very strong in his family and community, so I suppose in a sense he's Irish-American... but it only makes sense to call him that in a specific context, when it has relevance. Otherwise, if I'm describing his appearance, he's white. |

Cap'n - that pic is hilarious. First of all, is that a bullseye or a test pattern on the... what do you call those things anyway? Secondly - is it me or is his left leg uh.. not there? Thirdly, the lady in the far right - I can imagine what she is saying... "You get yo white ass in here and save this motherfucker cuz I ain't saving shit!"
Srsly tho - that pic is a masterpeice.

the guy attending the injured Klansman appears to be performing CPR on his hip instead of his sternum.

They could let him die, but it is much, much crueller to save him.
For the rest of his life he must live with the fact that he was saved by nXXXXXs. Bwahahahahahaaaaaa!

It is one of my favorite pics. I've had it in my puter for years.
The 'test' thingie is an old klan symbol. I've heard it portrays 4 klansmen looking down a well at their most recent deposit.
