Coming out of the closet, hyphenated American

Post by Malamute »

In todays climate of tolerance of others various lifestyles and needs, one group has been overlooked, and is still not accepted for who they are. Its sad, and makes a shameful commentary on the state of tolerance and intolerance in our society today.

Oh heck, I don't need no fancy name. I am a minority (though unrecognized). My peer group is shrinking fast (yet we can't get any special treatment from the government).

So, what shrinking minority group do I belong to? Well, heterosexual, white, males over sixty. Think I'm kidding? Take a look at the last census.

not one American has ever hyphenated themselves.
somebody had to have a name for them - fit them in a box - names they didn't like. So if you really must call them something, this is better than that was.
But every American would really rather just be an American.

It still seems strange that as a 4th generation Pacific Island born native, I can't check the box "Native Pacific Islander"...

Does one have to be all those things to be a "real" gun owner?

No, but it annoys the Lefties the most.

If you can claim "non-tradiditional" (i.e. non-EuroWhite) Religion, you get a certain bit of "bye" that Gringos are not permitted, so they can't whine as much while staying even a little bit consistent.

That just causes them cognitive dissonance, rather than properly getting their frilly panties in a bunch.

Not quite. Heterosexuals are still in the majority and will remain so. Whites are still in the majority. Most 'Hispanics' are actually whites. Males, or females, over 60 have never been a majority and likely never will.

They should not even be asking you where your ancestors were from.

I thought that according to anthropologists we are all African-Americans as all of our ancestors came from Africa.


Where people are from is less important than where they are going.
