Re: Race: You're either white or POC?

[making_excuses]

I've been thinking of this a bit actually. I classify people after where they are from, a person from South Africa is South African no matter which skin color they have, so is a Swede or an American, that is also how it is classified in my country, which isn't always positive, but that is how it is done.

So for example the newspapers will say "South African (25) shot and killed by Swede." even if both of them have Norwegian passports and are by all intents and purposes Norwegian.

The issue arises because anyone who is not white* and Norwegian will always be classified with their country of origin, no matter how many generations they have been here, with not that many exceptions*, some of it is based in skin colour, but also country of origin. The Baltic states and Russia is not looked at as good places to be from, Western Europe for the most part is, but not all countries.

And also yes, Norwegians are also just plain old racist... Not saying we are not, just pointing out that we don't classify people the same way as it is done in America (and other parts of the world too I would imagine). We do use black/white/asian too, but differently I think.

*again the level of whiteness is debatable, an adopted child is Norwegian no matter where it is from, not that the person will not experience racism if he or she is not white, but to a lesser degree when people get to know you are adopted.
*Third generation Dane will be considered Norwegian, third generation Latvian will most probably not.

I might have posted this in the wrong spot? Dunno and too tired to figure it out, at least it is in the correct thread...
