I agree I don't have anything against immigrants AS LONG AS DON THE LEGAL WAY. in school we were taught not to cut line or you go back to the end of the line, which was fare{if caught} so why are these people "cutting line"

My heritage is English (British) many generations ago and I don't want to be called English-American or British American so I sort of get what you are saying. But, I agree with most of your other answerers. It's you. Be who you want to be and be ok with others making different choices or no choice at all about identifying as part of a group.

Truly, I really don't understand the emphasis nowadays on making irrelevent claims to 'th generations. If the ethnicity to which you are making claim is so far down your bloodline that you need a microscope to see it, perhaps it is high time to accept your primary, most prevalent ethnic group. Not to say that anyone should have to deny their heritage, but if you know in your heart of hearts who you are and with what group you would like to relate yourself with, what reward is there in trying to convince others of something they would not have even known without your informing them in the first place? Unless you, at the very least, know something about the ethnic group to which you are claiming, why even bring it up?  I think it is outright rude to bring up your race unless the situation calls for it. I mean, if it comes up then isn't abnormal to respond. If it is the topic of conversation in a discussion, then it is excusable - i.e reminiscing with friends or aquaintances about your family heritage, or debating a racial issue in class, or simply educating someone about your ethnicity (I know that race and ethnicity are two separate facets, but for all intensive purposes, let's just pretend that they are synonomous, just for this discussion). But to merely make reference to one's racial background for no plausible reason other than to make oneself feel special and important is simply impolite. If you're a member of a certain ethnic group, it will be reveal itself: it will be evident, with or without you're making claim to it; if it isn't, so what? Some people are members of an ethnicity and still lack features of that group (I've seen it). Identity is without form. If you know who you are, you shouldn't need others to validate it.

None of you are white! You Spaniards, Italians and Greeks are all brown, brown, brown!\n\nAnd, you, a Spaniard touting your "whiteness?" PLEASE! Look at your Moorish ancestors and say that again!\n\nSpain is not white. Maybe in its own eyes only!

It is not race, it is a legal process. Follow the process or go home. I have friends who have immigrated from all over the world & of evey race. I do not have illegals as my friends though.

Girl, you have real issues.  Can't you find another way to get attention?  Perhaps by doing something positive with your time instead of name calling?  Or are you vying for Rush Limbaugh's job when you get older?\n  I just wanted to add, (we're white and..) my oldest son is married to a mexican,  and at one time my youngest twin was dating an african american and my other son is gay.  Racist?  Be for real.

Racism is a valid concern in this country.  However, it is not a valid argument in the immigration debate.\n\nThere is nothing racist about the law.  Either you follow it or you break it.  It's really quite simple.

I don't think so. I am O positive and both of my parents are black.

Being born is definitely not a choice.  It kind of makes the rest of the question a little difficult to answer.\nThough just to be clear- I harbor no more animosity toward people of other races than the next person.

With the way the Government is getting, you might consider Citizenship a priority 1st!!! A lady where I work JUST TODAY showed off pictures of herself getting her CERTIFICATE of CITIZENSHIP recently...She was so proud!!!\n\nIt might make a difference on where you are from, your child might help or maybe if you find the right person, Marry them and that might help in proper citizenship!!! I would hate to hear of you being deported! Not that I know U (I don't)...\n\nGood luck in your choices and you twos LIFE!!!

I was born in Africa, but I'm white. Now, I'm living in america. Am I a African American?

Apply for citizenship, I agree with the 1st answer. We would welcome you with open arms. Will pray for you. Good Luck!\nI wish everyone felt the same way you do about immigrating to the U.S. You sound like you would be an asset to our country.

if you are from Africa but being black doesn't necessarily follow as some whites are African too. I would then call myself black Chinese or if I were a humorist maybe chigro. anyhow the point being nationality and race are sometimes two different things.not that this applies in your case as I don't have sufficient info. also if you are African and married Chinese your children would indisputably be Afro-Chinese  racially and not just by country.so their is sometimes a fine line of difference between ethnic by country and ethnic by racial and ethnic by religion or even tribe .\nI would say i was of italian or irish hungarian descent but italians would take exception and i've never been out of the US so I just settle for American as I was born here and like the native american association although I'm officially caucasion which ignores my anscestry. mostly I really prefer the seldom used claim of earthling which includes everybody so far!\npeaceout and enjoy the life!

Apologies accepted ..........And your question is? If you have a "green card" you are not illegal....so don't worry ........ it is normal , when people olny knows about birth certicficates, we know the diference , that's all  that matters.

If I'm not white, they hate me. If I'm from another country they hate me. They don't seem to realize they were immigrants also.
