Speaking of color, I got a survey from Social Security. After it asks if you're Hispanic or Latino, it asks, "What is your race?", and instead of stopping there to let you check off as many boxes as you want to, it asks, "Do you think of yourself as..." and says to mark one or more boxes. The first thing I thought about was Rachel Dolezal, former president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) chapter in Spokane, Washington for over a year. She thought of herself as a black person and would check that box only, every time. She resigned from her presidency of that NAACP chapter after everyone found out the only Color her People were was white as Wonder Bread. Both of her parents were white but people accepted her as black because she said she was black. Anything else may have hurt her feelings.
P.S. One of the choices is Black or African/American. That's exactly how they wrote it. I don't know why. The punctuation looks wrong to me. It looks as if African and American are interchangeable. There is no box for European American. Or for Caucasian. Instead of checking off White, I may check Other and write in either European American, or Caucasian. It wouldn't be the first form I've done that on. Maybe I'll write both in. European American/Caucasian. I'm sure I've done that too. If there was a comment section I would tell them White is a color, not a race. Why do people keep calling Caucasians white when most of us are tan to one degree or another? That's racist! When are European-Americans going to have massive riots and looting that cause the National Guard to be called in?
