I guess we do this to keep the groups more simple, i dunno. I mix a see allot are Asian-Japanese/Spanish, usually, they're branded as Asian based on their looks, no 1 wants to start a new category called "Japanic"
Just for the record, im not a supporter, im not a citizen so i couldn't vote, i just understand why they are making a big deal out of it.  But from what I've seen you post, it seems as if your only gripe with him is he's "not all black" but i dunno. We can drop this  Now that he is actually the president people will stop talking about the color of his skin and how he made history. Now they will talk about what he has done, or is doing with the country. |
I'm a very un-racist person, which I guess it's not at all
a big deal to me. I have the idea that he made history
just as much as the rest of the presidents have. I'm just
stubborn like that, I guess.
"Japanic" --- LOL.
It's not the only thing I'm griping about, it's just whenever
people talk about him, I don't hear anything about his politics
or decisions, etc, and that is what I would rather hear so I
can have more faith in him as our president, but if all I'm
hearing is "He's the 1st black president" then I don't know much
about him at all.
---I'm not sure if I can put it any way other than that.
=/
I'm a very paranoid and suspicious person, and I don't trust
much, which is why I'm very skeptical. I would be no matter
who became president, it's just my personality.

Also, I would like to mention :
This is only describing skin color, I'm thinking
more along the lines of ethnicity and heritage.
