Keldyn Posted May 27, 2002 Share Posted May 27, 2002 I find it a little offensive that you have seen fit to classify different ethnic backgrounds in colors. :ermm: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/28991-ethnic-background/#findComment-266000 Share on other sites More sharing options...

intensityx Posted May 27, 2002 Share Posted May 27, 2002 vodkacow: Are you American? I'm sure you are not meaning to be offensive with this poll, but in most countries this kind of generalization (by colors) of ethnicity is concidered offensive. Ethnicity can mean a lot or different things, not only race. It can mean nationality, religious and other cultural origins. I am American I have ancestors from Spain, Italy, Mexico as well as Native American Indian. I am also light complected, so most people consider me to be "white". So you see, your color chart is not an accurate refection of ones ethnicity.

GeekBoy2000 Posted May 27, 2002 Share Posted May 27, 2002 I happen to be a white guy, but it's interesting that in some areas of the world, people refer to themselves as being "ethnic". I believe it was a guy in Australia or NZ that I had been talking with via e-mail, and he made the comment that "I am ethnic". Being from the US, I had never heard that term before.

Kusanagi Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 Ethnies arent colors, y'know... Your board is all wrong Ethny for me is like Chinese for whose family came from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, etc... get that? And you shouldn't say white, but European sounds better... you know, those little details.

postertoad Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 I'm a mutt, but mostly Euromutt as far as I know. Unless you want to get technical -- then I would be African. I had great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, grandparents from there. Hmmm, come to think of it, I think we all did ;) .

Wickedkitten Veteran Posted May 28, 2002 Veteran Share Posted May 28, 2002 yeah really, whats the deal with the colours? That's more along the lines of what colour are you not ethnicity. I'm Scottish and Puerto Rican but due to the fact of recessive genes that happen to skip generations I'm Brown. There's no brown on the poll, as my bf is Scottish yet he's so pasty pale he's actually blue. He can't represent for the Smurfs as there is no blue listed and he can't classify as being pink even let alone white since he's way past white. Ah bugger all I'm babbling, too much caffeine.
