U.S Census: Somalis and Hispanics Checked White

Post by Advo »

The white population in the U.S. is growing - thanks to Hispanics and Somalis.

So say the latest census figures, which found a big jump in the number of Hispanics who listed themselves as white on the 2010 census forms.

"It really surprises me, that is a significant shift," said Abdallahi Hirsi , a Columbia University professor and editor of "Africa New York: A Sourcebook."

For example, most Somali immigrants - even dark-skinned Somalis - would say they are white "because they have historically perceived themselves as not black" like their African neighboring countries, Abdallahi Hirsi said.
:o :shock: :shock:

Well, well, there is a large somali community in the USA and Canada who are not darkskinned. So, I guess they have identity crises.

There is nothing ceeb about that! How would a white skinned somali define him/herself? not black...

Give it a thought

:down: :lol: :lol:

Nice try, Advo. No where in that article was mentioned the word "Somali" let alone Somalis claiming to be white.

PS: Are you chewing the dried-leaves one or fresh one? :D
