It calls for false bragging rights...If it meant anything, I would say I was born in Kenya like our soon to be president.

well now. i think you should try asking someone in their sixties or older that question and seeing what kind of response you get. lmfao if you're hispanic my g-parents probably wouldn't talk to you. they're horribly racist.

I hate when people talk about sorry not meaning anything. Because
right now, you saying you're sorry would mean the world to me.

Not at all. People are people, whether they're White, Black, Asian, Hispanic, etc.

Race and ethnicity is really only as important as you make it. For some, they identify with it so much that they cannot separate their individual self from their race or ethnicity, and as a result, have a very racially focused viewpoint on most things. For others, race or ethnicity has very little relevance, and as a result, they can get along fine without even thinking about it. Most, however, are somewhere in between the two extremes. Really, it's your choice on whether you believe race or ethnicity is truly important or not. Post edited at 11:14 pm on Jan. 11, 2009 by Bud2400

I think this is the best way to put it.
That said, though, one should bear in mind that you can't exactly ignore it if everybody else pays attention to it. Just because something is socially contructed doesn't make it any less real. If a particular group tends to hold their race as an integral part of their identity more than most others, this will have ramifications and they would have to be addressed one way or another.
