I thought the point of this discourse was to show that it's about self-identification, not about what others said.

It is but I just had to say something about LatinaAlumna's post

It is one of my biggest pet peeves. No matter what the person identifies as, no one else should say what the person is or is not.

Somewhat off topic but anyway-

When I moved to the South West U.S. I started hearing the term Anglo being used to describe white people, which I hadn't really heard before growing up in MI. I was used to being referred to as white, or caucasian but never Anglo. I'm used to it now but it did annoy me at first because even though I have "white" skin I'M NOT ANGLO.
