I can just be called white, it's okay.

Right? Did white people ever "want" to be called Caucasians, and do they give a shit one way or the other now? Am i supposed to be against people from the caucuses now.

Why did I even comment on this stupid shit. Nice tag by the way.

It's actually pretty racist to call me Caucasian. Irish people got pretty shafted by everyone.

It's almost like politically correct terms are really just a way to erase people's identity. You're not scott-irish, you're Caucasian. Also you are not Nigeria, you are African American.

You think being Irish is going to make people not think of bombers?

We show those 3rd world countries that we've got the most runaway military budget in the world! Take that, father of 2 trying to provide for his family! You're probably a terrorist because you're not white.
