By that argument CharlesChester, you'd find yourself a racist in the politically correct sense. I agree with you, but let's face it, try to tell an African American that he's not African because it's been more than 200 years since any of his ancestors had even been to Africa or come from it. Similarly, try and tell a French Canadian that he/she is not French, sure the French don't consider them French and their culture is completely different, but hey, political correctness says that I am Irish-American, my friend Vlad is African-American, and my friend Jane is French-Canadian. Just what the political correctness polic deem things. If we resist them, we could be sued by the ACLU.

Correction.
Irish-American mutt
What if you have a slice of German in you. 85% of America does. Does that make you an Irish-German American or an Irish-German-Czech American. etc.

also, when i was in dublin, two things i learned:
1) saying you are from boston or new york city is an automatic pass to skip lines and cover charges at bars/clubs
2) they are afraid of marines. my buddy was wearing his shirt from the marines and everyone was getting out of his way, nodding at him, etc. we never had to wait to get a drink...

////////////////////////////////...so by that logic I guess it's racist to call people 'English' cause really we're all norman-french-german-roman-celt...
you know - I remember once in the Port Authority bus station in NY and this black couple were arguing with the black guy behind the counter over a ticket and the woman started gettin really stroppy and then proclaimed to whole crowd "It's always those fucking africans - they should all fucking just go home!"
which I found ironic. I guess this african-american was racits against africans.
then just as aside, the guy kinda whispered to me - "I'm going down there without a ticket and if they try and stop me - they gon have to shoot me in the back!"
hehehe... funny guy!
