CHANGES IN US CENSUS, AND IN AFFIRMATIVE/NEGATIVE ACTION PROGRAMS

 The US Census added some new racial categories, and I made 2 comments.  The second by me is a reply to an earlier poster, who used the name "identical," quoted a statement by a physical anthropologists' organization, one with which that poster agreed.I disagreed with both the poster "Identical" and the anthropological organization he quoted.  As I was not on my computer till late the following morning, I was  too late for much debate on the Newser comment sites.  Hugh Murray

All of this appeared on Newser.

My post:

So, should Jews put down Middle East? The main reason to redefine North African and Middle Eastern, when individuals identify themselves as white, as they might do under the present census definitions, they suddenly face the intense anti-white discrimination imposed by the EEOC and other enforcers of "civil rights," making it much more difficult for "whites" to get jobs and promotions. Now, many "whites" can evade that category.  Legally, they will not have to identify themselves as whites, the most hated category in the new type racist America. Ironically, those Middle Easterners from the Caucasus region is where we get the word Caucasian, meaning the white race. Iranians were known for thousands of years as Persians, but in the Nazi influenced 1930s. tp show that Persians were not Semites, they changed the name of their country to Iran, for they were Aryans. How sad, that the Nazi stress on race and giving race preferences and rewards in the Reich, now occurs daily in the US, the stress on race and giving preferences ("equity") to some, while denying equal rights to others - like white men.

" Identical' had a post to which I replied:  Basically he contended that all the differences between and among races are superficial; we are all one race.  My reply:

Politically correct BS. In medicine, dosages, and remedies these may vary by race, along with problems, diseases and susceptibility to such diseases.. Scientists studying old bones can often identify the sex and race of their owners. The new, politically correct anthropologists may seek to prevent such identification, for it implies the reality of races.  The only reason for such BS attempts to obscure the issue, is that often the common stereotypes of race ARE BASED ON THE BEHAVIOR OF THE GROUPS BEING SO GENERALIZED! Are we not to use our minds to generalize? Apples that look a certain way are often soft, mushy, mealy. Apples that appear another way are more likely to be firmer, sweeter. But liberal scientists, being far more liberal than scientific, try to distort reality by pretending all apples are the same, identical.  In the market, they are apples, but some are fresher, some have been bruised, and you search for the  one you think will taste best, based on your experience.  When Jesse Jackson heard steps behind him on a secluded street one night, he looked behind him and was relieved to see they were young white guys.  Racist?  No, facing reality.  And when objective exams appear to show racial differences in IQ, crime statistics indicate vast difference in criminal behavior of different races, etc. some "scientists" try to hide, obscure, or explain away such differences, or pretend they are insignificant.  Are they?  Are all races identical?  Should they be treated equally?  In a color blind society?  Or with equity?  Giving preferences to those who generally do poorly?

After another attack on that site, I replied on 30 March at 2:30 CDT. -

Iran meaning of the Aryans goes back to the 3rd century, but it did not become the name of the country until Nazi German began to make a big deal of Aryans and Semites. A long time from the 200s AD until the 1930s. All that time known as Persia. Middle East? The Ottomans ruled the Middle East, but just where does it begin and end? Were not Caucasian lands included at various times? Like the Far East, these were fluid terms, that could include this or that land, depending upon who was using the term. Russias borders have shrunk and expanded, as have many lands over time. Will the Census demand that Armenians declare themselves white, or can they claim to be Middle Eastern? Same for Azerbaijanis? The point of the Biden census is to free many people for the intense discrimination of having them classified as whites.
