We are respectable negroes: White Newborn Babies to be a Minority in the U.S. or Which "Racial" Group will Earn their Whiteness Next?

Ah, The definition of white. Remember back in the day? Classmates would ask, "what are you?" I would reply black, or black and native American. If they strove to be "middle class" their response to the same question would usually be, You're lucky,  I am just white. Not Irish, Italian, German etc. just white. Classmates who subconsciously identified as working class would usually respond with their ethnicity.  "I'm Irish or I'm Italian".  Some construct new racial categories, the best Americanism is, I'm Scotch-Irish".  There is no such thing as Scotch-Irish.  The Scottish call themselves Scottish.  Scotch is a drink.  Just white is the most sought after racial classification in the United States, and it does not exist in the world.

In London the white label is usually designated by class.  The working class are dubbed "white working class".  This classification usually applies to White British, Irish, Welch and other "very British, Oy, Oy white working class" people.  The Middle classes are usually dubbed simply middle class.  Interestingly, the middle classes are usually proponents of multiculturalism.  Multiculturalism is very PC.


Note to Americans, middle class in England is not the same as middle class in America.  Middle class in America connotes a suburban lifestyle, marked by material possessions and zip code.  Middle class in England is hereditary, one may buy into it, but acceptance takes generations, proper schooling and diction.  The Tea Party and those that scream middle class loudest in America are not middle class.  Thus we have the vague classification of white.  White in America means non-ethnic, it means disregarding any ties to immigrant ancestors, so please note, we could be middle class.    


The fastest growing ethnic "minority" in England is the mixed race, classification.
