Racism

My name will always be Adam. If you're right about the soul, then part of me will not change. I will always refer to it as Adam.

Names are meaningless, since they change over time.

Differences however do exist. Whether we give them names or not is our business.

ok

ok, i was just looking for a one word answer here. like, if someone would ask u, what would u say?

[loseyourname]

Although really I am not American. I am Cherokee, and my ancestors were here well before this place was ever called America.

I am American, both by citizenship and by heritage, and I am also Armenian, only by heritage. I'm trying to differentiate between the two.

Originally posted by loseyourname I agree with feliz. If you're an American citizen, then you're American. If you ever become a Chinese citizen, you'll be Chinese. But regardless of anything else, you'll always be Armenian; that's the one thing that can never be taken away and can never change. You just have to differentiate between citizenship and race. There is no American race other than Native American. for that matter, there is no Armenian race. Armenians are caucasian; Armenian is an ethnicity, not a race.

so u consider yourself an american?

living somewhere does not make u that country's nationality. Sure its probably in the paperwork and all for citizenship, but you should still call urself an armenian or whichever race/nationality ur parents are.

Yes, race, nationality, ethnicity etc. are different things, but i will not go into that becasue that will be repeating what Nimrod said about race.
