seems to me that whenever someone is describing either of these guys, ethnically, it is to further a point of view, and to accurately describe them, is to stray from the narrative being presented. Originally Posted by Chung Tran

Zimmerman has openly identified himself as Hispanic, has the DNA and physical characteristics to back that up, so let's allow him to call himself a Latino. Many of us are a mixture of something, but I don't think we should be required to provide a complete lineage breakdown upon request. In example, I'm Caucasian with 1/18 Sioux. I have blue eyes and blonde hair. Not that I'm ashamed at all of my Native American background, but do I really need to identify myself as Native American? I can't just call myself "white"?

It's pretty funny when someone wants to school other people on their own ethnicity. Perhaps we should put you in charge of the next census. It would be interesting to see all the new races you would create. Maybe everyone should just check off each race that applies and assign a percentage value?
self-identification? whatever... I'm sure some of us identify ourselves as "Studs" on this forum... our DNA and physical characteristics would say otherwise Originally Posted by Chung Tran
