There has been no Jєωιѕн or Gentile for the last 2K yrs-- only Roman Catholics.

President Obama, Sgt. James Crowley, Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.

The White House issued an executive order on Thursday titled “Establishing a Coordinated Government-wide Initiative to Promote Diversity and Inclusion in the Federal Workforce.” The purpose of the order is “to promote the federal workplace as a model of equal opportunity, diversity and inclusion.” In other words, it would be better for the government if public-spirited white workers sought employment elsewhere. Lost amid all the politically correct box-checking is the principle that the most qualified person should be hired for a job.

President Obama’s new order instructs federal agencies to design new strategies for hiring, promoting and keeping workers of “diverse” backgrounds. The diversity the government is seeking is not diversity of ideas, outlooks or work experiences. In contemporary political parlance, “diversity” refers primarily to the color of one’s skin and not the content of one’s character. The executive order says the federal government “must create a culture that encourages collaboration, flexibility and fairness to enable individuals to participate to their full potential.” In the name of “fairness,” however, the government will intensify programs that discriminate against white Americans by extending special privileges to everyone else. The order also says that “attaining a diverse, qualified workforce is one of the cornerstones of the merit-based civil service,” though merit and ability are not the metrics of choice when measuring success in diversity-driven career programs.

The order states that by law, the federal government’s recruitment policies should “endeavor to achieve a workforce from all segments of society” and that “as the nation’s largest employer, the federal government has a special obligation to lead by example.” In that respect, the government could largely declare mission accomplished. A quick look at the demographic breakdown of the federal payroll shows that “diversity” goals have been more than met. According to the Office of Personnel Management, federal employees in fiscal 2010 were 66.2 percent white, 17.7 percent black, 8 percent Hispanic, 5.6 percent Asian and Pacific Islander and 1.8 percent American Indian. Compared to the general U.S. population, the federal force is a bit too diverse. Blacks are overrepresented by 6.9 percent compared to the civilian work force, Asians and Pacific Islanders by 1.2 percent, and American Indians are more than double their proportion of the population at large. White Americans, who make up about 70 percent of the work force, are underrepresented by around 4 percent. Hispanics are also underrepresented despite the Clinton-era executive order 13171, “Hispanic Employment in the Federal Government.

In all this "Affirmative Action", and Diversity. Are we getting the best employee,
or it is a numbers gain to get votes in an election!

Quote from: Anna1959

I said what I did about it being wrong to deliberately have children of mixed heritage because I am one of those children, now grown.

There's nothing wrong with deliberately having children with one's spouse. In fact, it's a good thing.

I felt if I identified with what my father was, I was slapping my mother and her family in the face. And I felt if I identified with what my mother was, I was slapping my father and his family in the face.

Why not just be yourself?

Indeed Clare.

What's with all the hyperbole that merely being who you are or living your Faith is somehow an insult to anyone? How bizarre, and what a terrible burden on oneself.

My mother's family are lifelong Catholic-haters. Whore of Babylon and all that.

When I converted I might as well have grown horns. Who cares?

You're not slapping anyone in the face.

Also, ethnic Jew ≠ religious Jew, so convert them to the Faith.

If they're religious Jews, convert them to the Faith.

Its easy for those who have never personally dealt with racial or ethnic divisions within onesself, to say "just be yourself". Until you have lived it, you won't understand.

The problem with Daegus is that he seems to have convinced himself black people have darker skin pigmentation because of  exposure to the Sun.

I use to listen to The Front Page-- there was a black caller who insisted  white peoples absence of skin color was because they(we) spent eons as cave men.

And the problem with you is that you seem to have convinced yourself that MJ has helped your medical problems, but it has done nothing but mess up your ability to reason properly. And you said on another thread a while back that the MJ actually wasn't helping you and that you were still ailing. I think you should recognize your own fallacies before you accuse someone of saying something he never said. That is also a fallacy by the way, the straw-man fallacy which you love to use.

There is more to race than just the color of ones skin.

EXACTLY.
