Why do Americans use such a shit as race in their censuses? It gives them no real information.
"White". What do Russian immigrants have to do with average White Americans? What do Arabs have to do with them? We are different, we live different way, we have different jobs, incomes etc than White Americans whose heritages are Anglos, Irish etc.
"Black". What do immigrants from, say, Zimbabwe have to do with African Americans? They are also different.
Why don't Americans use real shit like ethnicity instead of race?

They don't understand difference in culture, it's just different colors to them. Autism.

Just playing devil's advocate, but you could argue if those groups travel to America they should leave the ethnic baggage at the door. I think that's the line of thinking with Americans.
Personally I'm sceptical because I think blood is thicker than water, but I'm not sure what else you can do when you have a country with every ethnicity on the planet running around.

Because most of us are from this country and the same culture. How many genuine Russians and Africans do you think we have here?

I'm a white Brazilian.

You might be able to differentiate between black, white, asian, or hispanic. After the second generation nobody gives a shit. You are simply mutt.

You get tons of immigrants every year, your country is built on immigration. You can't put everyone under one point because it makes no sense. There are many Russians who look Asian, but they are 100% Russians culturally, what should they choose?
>>75249396
You at least have Hispanic point, yet I guess people from Bolivia, Mexicans and Brazillians are all different too.

>leave the ethnic baggage at the door
And take on retarded racial baggage?
>>
>>75249642
Well, what else would you propose?

>>75249533
Censuses are made to discover socio-economy state of people and demographics. Are you sure that children of Russian or Indian immigrants would live in the same conditions as children of WASPs despite all being classified as whites?
>>
>>75249672
Just let people to write their ethnicity, we do like this in Russia. You just tell who you are to census man who comes to your flat. Yes, there is a small percent of people who say they are Elves or Martians but this percent is negligible.

My cousin is married to a third gen slav. One of my coworkers is of Russian Jewish origin. They don't speak Russian. They go to Starbucks and watch American football. If you were to see them on the street, you could say they were well off nicely dressed Caucasian. There's really nothing which could differentiate them from other Europeans besides dark hair.

There are many Russians living in USA besides these cucks. Stop bringing anecdotal evidences.

>Brazilians are Hispanics

Because using their brain is kinda like exercising for too many of them. So they avoid it at all costs. Just look at American high schools, you have to be an actual retard for not being able to pass that shit with flying colours. Muh multiple choice.
