Can somebody answer to Huey's question?

Yeap! Swedish women are definitely much more beautiful than American women....and as a plus, they also are more athletic, and not as aloof and as conceited as those American women footballers!
Also, they are much better footballers!

Sure, if you like them on the man-ish looking side with the lowest average bra size on Earth and exceedingly little variation in looks. But at least there's implants, collagen injections, and spray tans to look like the rest of humanity fer ya.

Incidentally, we have millions of Scandinavian stock in America. We have even more Norwegian speakers than in Norway, so much so that Norway recruits them to teach their own people their own language.

btw, have you not LOOKED at Team USA?

Neither is Swedish. They’re countries.

So what is a Swedish citizen of Syrian ancestry? Is he not Swedish?

You people that "don't see color" really know how to define people's ethnicity and race.

Here: ---> "If there's a Swedish citizen of Syrian ancestry then he's not of Swedish ancestry. He's not ethnically Scandinavian."

Yet he is still Swedish right.

Those are colors in what box of Crayolas?

So Scandinavian is the ethnicity and not Swedish. Swedish is a nationality like American.

Just say "Indian"...they aren't offended by it

Jumping Jesus ...you people need to develop thicker skins.

And English is a subset of american as is Italian, Irish etc.

And Indians are native to north east Asia.

Asians and blacks are not native to North America either. So your point is what? People who live in America came from somewhere else? Americans have diverse ancestry as do Swedes.

Feels like people that say Christianity is a . . .*sigh*. . .Race. . .*sigh*. . .

We see people using Islam as a color by many of our colleagues here.

It's not that we don't like Islam, it's the fact that the people who follow Islam's edicts are hell-bent on killing those who don't believe Islam's "teachings", and that they, themselves hate America and Americans. They proved it twenty years ago and still want us destroyed today.

But, you say nothing about their "broad accusations" against America.

I deal with Muslims on a daily basis, guy. Most of them are afraid of their imams and won't say or do anything to raise their ire. The Islamic women are the worst...they are the ones who teach their children to hate.

The fact of the matter is they ruined their countries with their never-ending religious wars, and they flee to safer countries, and then proceed to turn their adopted homes into the same kind of shit-hole they fled.

And that Colorado [?] shooter from months ago, of Syrian background if I got that right. He went from blue-eyed Caucasian to non-white Muslim when they found out his ethnicity, never mind that Syria actually borders on the Caucasus Mountains which is kinda a lot closer that Europe is.

That's my life.
I'm trans-racial, I swear.

People look at me, they think I'm one thing.
Then they find out where my mother's from, now I'm another race to them and a tad bit less likable.
Then they find out where my father is from and it's another race again - actually two: one ethnic-based and the other a race for the door cuz suddenly I be dangerous in their eyes.

These dolts who try to pretend racism is no longer a thing should take a walk with me for a day. It's like musical chairs only not as comfy.
Even my 'own kind' often don't think me as one of them as I wasn't raised around them and thus act and talk different enough for them to cancel muh membership.
So I get the blame, but not the backup. I walk alone.

Got a hit on him from the Mafia for eating pizza at Little Ceasars

It's actually kinda cool, in that I get to see how people are, how perceptions change in flash before my eyes simply because of the name of the place a parent was born.
One second it's "Ey, paisan," then someone whispers in their ear and I'm suddenly a member of what I used to call when I was a kid "the incredible brown race" and the grandkids of Mussolini are telling me to go home.

But that was really when I was growing up, now I click with them better than those closer in ethnicity to me (except maybe the older or foreign born ones, go figure), and other than relatives visiting, I've not much exposure to my father's people, so while I know things, relating to them on a personal level is kinda alien.

I can slip in and out of different worlds, but at the same time I don't belong entirely to any of them, so I'm the perpetual foreigner, a misfit. It has its benefits as well as detractions.
Plus I got to develop my own personality and tastes without feeling the pressure to conform to what others might have to.

Being the eternal outsider is part of why I don't align with the 'we' or always have disdain for the 'them' as seen on this site. I also like playing with their misconceptions, which is why I oft gleefully accept their labels and play along with their myopic prejudices rather than disagree with their idiocy. These asinine 'apocalyptic' arguments have to be good for something, might as well be for a laugh.

I think those people confuse Islam/Muslim with Arab.

The occasional commenter on some one site or another will say it.

Sometimes I'll come across someone on the 'net that'll say that. Because the Bible alludes to a 'Christian Household' or a Christian couple having a baby that somehow makes it a race. In truth even when those things do happen it doesn't matter if the child at some point in their life doesn't make the choice to believe in Jesus.

Neither is Mexican.

There’s arguments that go either way. One is that the very thing that makes a people considered a race is just whenever many peoples settle and mix in a designated area. That’s why British, French, and German are considered races even though they really don’t look distinguishable. Another argument is that American is just a nationality and America is made up of a large number of races without just one identifiable “American” appearance. Either way, the OP was using the definition of American as a nationality, so your comeback means nothing. Honestly I haven’t a clue why you even bothered to type such a weak ass argument in the first place.

Thank you for finally mustering up a reply after 9 hours which is just the same thing Abby Normal said

pssst, scroll down. You missed one, and a more detailed one at that.

Are you talking about your other comment?

Yeah, but it's placed higher now.

I didn’t miss it, I just didn’t respond. Even though you’re kind of nitpicking I still upvoted since it is true.

Oh, since you mentioned one that came after as coming before what someone else said, I figured...

Scuse me for having been a bit snippy...

No problem

"British, French, and German are considered races" No, they're not. Those are nationalities.

Those aren't races, those are ethnicities, or rather, multiple ethnicities within each.
Britain, for example, consists of Welsh (Britons), Scots, and English - Celts and German/Teutons, plus whatever admixtures from without and within over the millenia.

America is a hemisphere, two continents. The USA is not a nation but a federation of them plus add'l territories.

Brushing up on basic knowledge makes for a more informed response.
