Anyone else sick of hearing about "diversity"?

Black or African American not Black/African American. Thanks for proving my point. Is this where you say whoops I was in a hurry and posted it wrong.

It is not two different selections. It one selection.

Notice how “white” is only one selection. And “American Indian” is only one selection. “Black or African American” is only one selection too.

Are you claiming I had a choice to select either black OR AA on the census?

@STODR

By they way I didn’t say they were not used interchangeably. I said they are not the same.

If they are used interchangeably, in the US, then they are the same.

[STODR]

My God man. They are one selection on there. But by putting an “or” in there they are designating two groups, grouped together basic English try it sometime. You are flailing.

used to link alternatives.

Really so US makes the rules screw other countries.

If AA and Black are two distinct groups… why not two selections? One for black and one for African American?

[STODR]

Same reason they have Native American or Alaskan Native. Ask the census. Or do you think Native American and Alaskan Native is the same?

It’s not just the census that uses “Black or African American”

Any US racial survey… those are used together. With just 1 selection.

According to you, it should be two distinct selections.

Looks like I brought proof and now someone is backpedaling.

Lol the only proof you brought proved me right. "or"
Answer the question is Native American and Alaskan Native the same?

Quote me saying they should be two separate selections why make crap up? Are you dizzy from your spinning? That was your point if they were different not mine.

Why shouldn’t they be two distinct selections if they are not the same?

[STODR]

I see you avoiding the question. Are Native American and Alaskan natives the same?

I could care less if combined or separate. I think it is halarious the need you have to have them being the same. All the while ignoring others that were combined.

You clearly care. Suddenly your strong opinion that they ARE NOT the same is not so strong anymore.

They are the same… as evidenced by every US based racial survey.

I’m not Native American so I have no thoughts on why there is an “or”. I am black OR African American and I do know they in the US… they are used interchangeably.

“Black” is exclusively ADOS

Oooh! How DEI!

You completely cut off the context of that post.

“Black Culture” was created by ADOS in the US. Jamaicans and Nigerian US Citizens can (and do) align their culture with “Black Culture”.

Nigerians don’t. That isn’t true at all.

Jamaicans have the island culture, not the ADOS culture.

You’re just making up allies now.

How can somebody who is not ADOS have a culture predicated on slavery?

[WuWei]

@PurpnGold

That’s your stance.

Apparently it’s your stance, you said it.

Kamala Harris is black, she is not ADOS.

Obama is black, he is not ADOS.

Both are African American, right?
