I assume you had no problem with identifying your age, gender, and income range.

Do you think your answers don't count as much if you are identified as white?

Heh, no, not exactly. It comes down to what I have been discussing with Mic: all of the talk, all of the protests, marches, legislation, ect. that has transpired in this country about race and equality and we are still segregating not just each other, but ourselves.

I am not a white-American, I am not a Jewish-ScotsIrish-German-Native American-American. I am an American, and while I am no where close to being ashamed of my ancestry, that is all I want to be and be known as. I am able to find contentment with in that. It boggles my mind why others cannot.
