Made me wondering: my husband is, as I said, mestizo from South America and I am white. What race would our daughter be considered in the US?

I would say it depends. Around here, there are a lot of marriages between “Anglos” and Mexicans, most of which are Mestizo. Oftentimes the only distinguishing feature between their children and the “Anglo” population is the last name.

Interestingly, Asian Indians are considered “white” in the sense that they are deemed no different from Europeans or many Central Asians such as Persians and Pashtuns. Apparently the languages all stem from a common root language and the genetic characteristics are the same or similar.

Don Lemon, CNN even questioned Kamala as being African American. Just look it up.

Also, in Mexico it is an insult to call someone an ‘Indian’. The country has gradiations of skin colors from negro through moreno to blanco.

That’s for sure. I had an “Anglo” friend who married a Mexican-American. She became pregnant and, upon learning the child was a girl, proposed to name her “India” after the country. I guess she thought that was exotic-sounding. Her husband’s family had a fit. “India” in Spanish is the feminine form of our word “Indian”. To them it was like naming your child the “N” word. They just wouldn’t have it. In the end, I don’t think she did name the child “India” after all.

Race consciousness and bias is a very serious thing in Mexico.

Really? You’re not going to chase that rabbit? Why ever not?
I would have thought that you would have come up with copious examples to prove how Rep. Omar has been discriminated against for her religion! Unless there aren’t any examples, of course!
But we don’t want to bring up Omar’s own history of anti-semitism, do we?

India? As in “India Wilkes”, Ashley Wilkes’ sister in Gone with the Wind? Yet another verboten topic! There’s one every time we turn around…

Oh, I don’t think Pence will be replaced. I’ve heard Nikki Haley is a candidate but I really doubt it. Pence attracts much of the base, particularly Evangelicals, whom Trump needs.

I only put it at 10% chance he’d be replaced.

Do you really think that Pence is bringing the evangelicals and not Trump himself?

That is very wrong. How do they justify discriminating asians?

The grades and scores on entrance exams of Asians are too high. Even higher than whites, who come in second. They don’t want too many Asians on campus.
 
Oh, I think evangelicals would vote for Trump, with or without Pence, Nikki Haley, or anyone else.
Who are they gonna vote for, a Democrat? 😆

I agree. I would, however, add most white Catholics.

I don’t think Pence is bringing the voters at this point. The white evangelical movement is more of a political movement than a religious one, in my view, and they are lined up behind Trump. But I think Pence helps to bring in the evangelical money from the big donors and their organizations. Pence has had relationships there for years, and Trump is a fairly recent “convert” (pun intended) to their cause. Those $$ relationships matter.

I totally disagree with the first statement, but agree with the second. They aren’t evangelicals because of their politics. Their politics is determined by their religious beliefs.

I know many, many evangelicals and I have never met one who “became evangelical” because of politics.
 
One thing we knew for certain: Joe Biden’s handlers would pick a pro-abortion extremist.

Joe Biden has reaffirmed his commitment to abortion on demand at any time for any reason and paid for by taxpayers. Kamala Harris is the poster child for the extreme pro-abortion position of the Democratic Party.

As a U.S. senator, Kamala Harris has a 0% rating from the National Right to Life Committee. By contrast, Sen. Harris’ abortion extremism earned her a 100% rating from NARAL Pro-Choice America.

Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life added, “Sen. Harris is so extreme on abortion she opposes even the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, legislation to protect unborn children from abortion after 20 weeks, when they are capable of feeling excruciating pain during dismemberment or other late abortion methods.”
