(56,582 posts)Most Hispanic people in the US are racially either white or native american. But, for example, most people from the Dominican Republic are racially black and still ethnically Hispanic (think David Ortiz), and most people from the Philippines are racially asian/pacific islander and ethnically Hispanic (think Tia Carrere).

(1,185 posts)As a culture and as a species, we are having to grapple with the term "bi-racial", which then leaves the "culture" or in some cases, the "physical appearance" more important than the DNA, as to identification, etc.
The RW howls about how multiculturalism has doomed our race...a conspiracy of the Left. Well, if one is a PureRacist, then they are right and are a dying breed.
So I say, Welcome to the Human Race. It will survive.
Obama, as I recall, is only 5% African/black, 45% Indonesian (Arabic) and half white. By true racial definition, he is 95% Caucasian as Semites are Caucasian.
Here is the only place I could find a link...I'm sure there are others.
"One thing I do find interesting is that I have heard his father (sr) is 7/8 semitic and 1/8 black African. That would make Senator Obama 50% Caucasian, 43.75% Semitic (Arab) and 6.25% black."

But when I noticed that they have great sympathy for Owens, I realized their true nature. I am quite shocked and disappointed to see such blatant prejudices here.
