And @ Raitei . Let's not.

But how will I know what colour I am. Am I more of a caramel or a dark chocolate. I need to know WHO I AM

I'm sure I read somewhere recently that 'coffee coloured' is the new definition.

Americano or Mocha? You gotta be specific

Is that Americano with milk?

Jesus, it's so confusing. Why isn't it easier to pigeonhole people?

 

[BBoyEdgy]

I can read Portuguese but I can't understand a word they're saying. They sound like slurring drunk Spaniards with learning difficulties. How come you speak Gallego? That's pretty rare.

Bro my missus works in a Latin Band and the Cubans and Peruvians are so much easier for me to understand than the Brazilians and Portuguese/Angolans. Sometimes the Spaniards speak too quick for me to catch though! :soldadowtf:

Wrong accents on the És

I slur like fuck on Es, accents don't even come into it.

@ SanDiegoYiddo

OK, so to correct your unintentional blunder. What you should have said is either:"most of the teams I've played for in the last 3 or 4 years only spoke Spanish. I was the only Anglo-Saxon/WASP." or "most of the teams I've played for in the last 3 or 4 years only spoke Spanish. I was the only Irish-American/German-American/Polish-American" or just American if you're sure that the others were not born-citizens. I'll also give you non-latino.

Mexican is not a race either. You want to tell me Salma Hayek or Rafael Marquez aren't white?

Yeah bruh... I'm just gonna go ahead and call my Mexican friends Mexican.

 

[Thelonious]

holy shit, that's @ The Cowbell interviewing the players!

 

[1882]

HARRY KANE IN PERSONALITY SHOCKER!!!!!!!

It would appear I had the guy all wrong!

...and also, why was Christen Eriksen interviewing himself??
I thought Flav looked like that guy... (@ The Cowbell you say??)
either way, it seems we have a new look-a-like contender!

 

[SanDiegoYiddo]

I'm convinced that this guy is told to make every interview and video as awkward as possible

 

[Mad Yid]

In what way are Spanish/Latinos not white? *Folds arms and waits for explanation with quizzical look*

because they don't speak American, bloody savages

Seriously though, you're like C3PO

He is C3PO

Cheers - never seen that before.

Not sure why the Protestant is in there but WAS seems a pretty concise way to identify what many people term as "White"

Historically in the U.S. Catholicism was associated primarily with the lower-class and immigrants. The WASP designation therefore would refer to the traditional societal elite of the US. Without the "P" you would also have been referring to broad immigrant populations like the Irish, Italians, and the Poles, who were understood to not be a part of that upper class.

So, it's a fairly descriptive term.

 

[Lister]

Not so much in the UK though

 

[VirginiaSpur]

It's a very American term. Anything overly genteel, stuffy, prim, etc. will get called 'WASPy', like a country club or the Upper East Side. A world utterly unavailable to Jews, Catholics, etc. …much less Southern Europeans or African-Americans. Think Age of Innocence or House of Mirth.

Pete Campbell is a WASP. Don Draper is not.

Although, I would say Don Draper is WASPy as fuck, he was just "born on the wrong side of the tracks."

Richard Whitman is his birth name. That speaks volumes right there...

 

[VirginiaSpur]

Caddyshack, the film, is brilliant at exposing white caste in the US. The judge's boat is even called the Flying WASP, iirc. That's probably the last I'll say on this.

Mate, we're not ants...
