Why is Kamala called the 1st black VP?

@Spoiledbrat We can ask them how they wish to be identified.

@JSul3 We have. I was taught they prfer african american but that's kind of long and formal. Being called white doesn't bother me.

@Spoiledbrat "White" has a wide range. Many Spanish are considered 'white.'

@JSul3 Yeah and I couldn't care less.

@Spoiledbrat Ok.

Though some Spanish people are light skinned, I've never heard them referred as "white". @JSul3

@Spoiledbrat White" refers to a person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East or North Africa. It includes people who indicated their race(s) as "White" or reported entries such as German, Italian, Lebanese, Arab, Moroccan, or Caucasian.

Spaniards are considered both white and Hispanic in the United States. The US Census Bureau defines Hispanic as an ethnicity, not a race, so people of any race can be Hispanic. Spaniards are considered Hispanic because they are a European national group that originated the language and culture associated with the term. As a result, they may be treated similarly to people in the Latinx community. However, some say that this can lead to overlooking Spain's history of colonization.

@JSul3 I'm not sure, but I think it may be racist to ask a dark skinned person what they
want to be called. I'm sure they would just say, "Call me by my name"

@Spoiledbrat The reason they lump all white people together as one is so that "people of color" can remain in the minority and portray victims.

@DogMan I simply ask anyone their name and let the conversation go from there.

@JSul3 But sometimes we talk about people as a whole.🙄
