You mean people like Obama? Guess he counts as basically white in your book, because he's "mixed race" and partial-white? I guess you figure Obama as president was not "substantially" different from Eisenhower being president in the 50s, both are basically white right?
- Izkata 4y agoGreat example of interpreting my words in the worst possible way! What about Elizabeth Warren? Is she white, native american, or mixed race? My point there was that these are self-identifying labels on the census, and "two or more races" wasn't even an option until 2000, so that option can't be compared to 1960 - we have no way of knowing how many of them would have picked "white" vs the others.
