'White power' (really epidermically pink-ish) has a better ring than 'Caucasians for ever!' which sounds like an event McClain would jump on a jet for, way out in the petro-rich steppes somewhere, somewhere all the place names had at least eight syllables and started with weird letters like T and K.
I wonder who chooses not to disclose? Roswellians? Lizards? Alpha Centaurians? 'The history of public debt is full of irony. It rarely follows our ideas of order and justice.' Thomas Piketty

Those protesting the system, me thinks.
I just pondered the list and wondered where for example South Africans of Indian descent fits in. The list is such a mix of geography, skin color, culture and language. If they had a cathegory based on religion (for example jewish or muslem) I think they would have covered all the big bases of dividing people into 'races'.
This is such a pre-9/11 legacy list, since the list tends to imply that Arabs are "White", unless they are like my wife's Algerian friend and are North African Arabs, in which case if he becomes an American, he would literally be African-American, but category 3b, * Black or African-American (Not Hispanic or Latino) * (that's or, not and, and not the ones you're thinking of) I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
Or, IOW, if an "Ethiopian American" wants to maximize their change at academic assistance, they should tick the "African American or Black" box and under the breath mutter, "by which I mean American with ancestry from a country located in Africa". I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
