[N.A.]

Niamh, I agree with you 100%, and I’m surprised that no one else has brought up the facts you did. Honestly I’ve always thought all the racial categorizations one finds on forms/applications/surveys are absurd. Like the separating of ‘white Latinos’ from ‘non-white Latinos’–is one any worse or any better than the other? Well, it seems that way when they make those categorizations. Perhaps I’m being ignorant, but when you’re Latino, you’re Latino, and that’s that. Then that proves ‘Latino’ shouldn’t even be considered a race (because it’s not). Anyway, in our case, ‘white’ can mean a huge number of things as you know–Italian isn’t the same as Polish, now is it? And that goes for any of the other ‘racial’ categories society attempts to group people into: black, Pacific Islander, Asian, Arab…All of this is a load of crap, and once I’m involved in politics I’ll make it a goal of mine to get rid of all this nonsense. ‘The bond of my Irish history and ancestry is more important than the color of my skin’–you said it all.
