In my defense I have to say that we're not as used as Americans or Europeans to racial problems or differences. I didn't really know that people with black parents/family considered themselves black per se, when I hear about black people, or asian, or latino, I automatically think about facial features/skin and not inheritage, though now I think of it it makes sense. It doesn't seem to be a general European thing too, because it's the same for me. But also when someone says Asian I first think of Chinese or Japanese or Korean or things like that. I think I only realised less than 5 years ago that India and places near that are even in Asia.

I was at a party where the DJ played two Flo Rida songs back to back, and I was like, really?

I have often thought, though, that we have surprisingly few black people, although we have quite a lot of Asians (including our founder, of course). I was confused for a minute, thinking that I'd just learned a while ago that Tragedy was ginger - but I was thinking of someone else.

Now it's my turn to be confused because I thought that was you.

I am ginger, but I am not the member whom I most recently learned was ginger.

As for Tragedy, Linda mentioned in her recent article on him that he was Filipino by heritage, but I have seen some old pictures of him too. (Indeed, I think Linda's article includes links to a video.)

we say nigga here too, but only black people can say it when white people say that we glare at them Now here's a more interesting question: Do you feel like you can say nigga, if people could mistake you for being white, and/or if you're only half-black? You could say you wouldn't use the word anyway, but hypothetically, do you feel like you could?

I demand to see a picture of ginger Comet. I think it says something terrible about modern society that a thread about black people so quickly turns into demands for pictures of pretty much the opposite.
