No, how dare you say that, "we're all Americans regardless of race". We're all HUMANS. Now I better not hear anyone else say that, we are a race together, and we love eachother.

True, but I'm speaking of those who are born in this country or have gained citizenship. They're all Americans.

What does that have to do with this topic?

LOL @ VUG1. It's the utopia that has yet to exist.

This topic is always an issue. When you go to Great Britain or Germany etc, you don't see African German, or African Brit etc. The people over there are known as British or German. Why can't it be like that here?

Welcome to the melting pot/salad bowl/whatever metaphor works for you.

And no, you don't see African Germans or African Brits -- but you very likely well may see an attitude of Brits/Germans and "immigrants" (Turks, Pakistanis, take your pick), even if the "immigrants'" families have been there for a few generations.

It's not like that in Germany, either. Germany also has racial and ethnic distinctions. Ever notice that not all Germans speak German or that it isn't everyone's native language, for instance?

LOL...there is also a distinction between Germany as a nationality and German as a European ethnicity. Almost every society that has racial and/or ethnic diversity of any sort has ways of distinguishing groups from one another.

This topic isn't about nationality.

Can you please stop Spamming? It's useless and not contributing anything. I'm trying to make a point here, while you come in thread jacking, just stop.

Well striclly speaking Mexican SPanish counts as it's own dialect. and I remember a comedian joked about it. Depending what part of the country you are in, a latino is automattically a certain race. NY= Puerto Rican, Florida= Cuban, Cali= Mexican.
