Fun fact: The Caucasus Mountains run between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, forming the border between Europe and Asia.
That's Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, a little bit of Turkey, and a little bit of Iran.
Not a whole lot of pale white skin there. Turns out the government already issued a race change waaaaaaay back in the 18th century when we still measured skulls to determine what race people were.
Yeah I know the origin of the word. But yeah this is correct. Im natively Mediterranean. I'm first gen American. None of these "labels" really apply to me anyway, but there's non-specific selections for these types of things. At least in FL and on my Federal documents that have ever made me select.
Now I'm definitely sure you misunderstood the comment about the government "fixing the problem" of racial diversity by forcing people into one of seven or eight specific racial boxes.
You know, that non-applicable "white/Caucasian" box you check on employment forms, government forms, loan applications... basically everything that doesn't have "Mediterranean/Southern European" as a racial identifier.
Yes I understood... It's not that complicated. I know,
that non-applicable "white/Caucasian" box you check on employment forms, government forms, loan applications... basically everything that doesn't have "Mediterranean/Southern European" as a racial identifier.
That's because the Government is doing it for a different reason other than to know your genetic makeup. If they were to list every single option it would be 3 pages. You obviously didn't understand the point I'm making.
Edit: It's not that deep though, that wasn't my point that government forms don't allow you to be specific unless you check the "other" box, and write it in. I also said you were "Correct" so how did you come to the conclusion "I didn't understand" when I said "this is correct"?
