Flight Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 (edited) This is not meant to be racist, or profiling, or whatever. I'm just curious what the whole of OTR breaks down to. It really doesn't matter, but considering that the majority of NBA players are black, and the majority of internet users are white (both are proven, I'm not just guessing. at least that's how the US breaks down) I'm also not sure how that affects a basketball forum, if at all. Anyway, vote away, be honest please nobody will see your vote. If you're ashamed, confused, or stupid, vote for the Boston Marathon or Human. If this gets closed for whatever reason I can understand, but this isn't meant to be malicious.

Flight Posted July 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 how has this been proven when the internet grows constantly.Well, I should say the Census Bureau's polls have shown that in the past consistently, but I guess it could have changed. I've seen the polls before and it's somewhere in the region of 60% white in the US, 40% everyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Feelgood Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 I voted asian but that was before I saw mix. I'm a mix of asian, white, and others that I don't know because I don't know my dad. I mostly consider myself asian even though I'm only 25% chinese, . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flight Posted July 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 You moron a Native American isn't Indian, someone from India is Indian.Notice the quotation marks jackass. lol That's why I said Native American first, then "Indian" because the proper term I guess is "Tribal Affiliates" but nobody goes by that.

Guru Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 I'm Indian, where do I fall under? India is not considered the middle east its considered south Asian. But when people think Asia they think chink. [expletive] that I put other. Also people need to stop calling Native Americans "Indians" because by doing that you are just continuing the stupidity of Christopher Columbus. That clown was lost when he found America.

Uhh, idk if I put Indian then it's like I'm singling out a country, but like you said Indians don't necessarily fall under Middle Eastern or Asian, it could be either or neither. Other's fine haha.

People like you are why the world needs better education. Oh, and putting quotations around something doesn't mean it can cover your [expletive]. Why don't you just put Whites/"Africans" there if you aren't 100% sure? Edited July 31, 2009 by trutrojan8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't you just put Whites/"Africans" there if you aren't 100% sure?Uhh, don't be the one to call me a moron. I'm a pretty intelligent kid for my age. Yeah, India is in Asia, no [expletive] Sherlock. And Canadians are American, because they're in North America. So are Brazilians, but in South America. I don't call them Americans, and I don't call Indians Asians because they aren't in the same ethnic group as Chinese, Japanese, or other "Asians" if that makes sense. I put it in quotation marks because Native Americans aren't technically Native Americans anymore, they're "Tribal Affiliates" supposedly. It's a technicality. I only included the term "Indians" in with Native Americans because, believe it or not, that's what the majority of people think they are, right or wrong. I was 100% sure that was incorrect, hence the quotation marks. If I say that you're a "moron" does that mean that I'm not guaranteed to be calling you that, I could be unsure of myself and really want to be your friend? It makes no sense. You're being a complete dick about something I did in an attempt to help the less-understanding individuals still understand the poll. I took the term off because I did agree that even though it is the wrong identification Tribal Affiliates go by, it shouldn't be up there. I corrected my mistake, but the mistake that was made was not that I thought that's what they fell under. You seem to be more concerned about what I did for the undedicated people more so than looking at the results educated people might be interested in. You're the one telling me I'm the reason the world needs better education? That's a pretty strong statement for someone of your position.

They aren't Indians, they're Native Americans. Why don't you put Asian (chink), Mexican (beaner), and African (well you know what's coming)?

Why don't you put Asian (chink), Mexican (beaner), and African (well you know what's coming)?That's not really what I did. I didn't include racial slurs, I included a common misnomer that the majority of the world knows them by (as I said, wrongly so, which is why I removed it). I wasn't being racist, and didn't do that unknowingly or stupidly. I did it for the unfortunate people out there that don't know the difference. I then realized that if they didn't know the difference, they could figure it out so I took it down. If it was offensive to Native Americans (which I'm assuming you are, since you seem to know this firsthand) then I apologize. There was no harm intended, and it has since been changed. But really, you're exaggerating far too much. Thank you Dr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
