Well, Jews aren't
quite
white because the whole religion thing, darker than that Vanity Fair's cover complexion, exotic yet still mostly familiar ingredients food that one can be "into", colorful parental behavior, prominent noses, loud arguments, and coarse dark hair.
Greeks aren't
quite
white for just about all the same reasons. (They have Christmas and Easter
all wrong
you know...)
See how much y'all have in common?
Ah. So, Southerners.
I think I just hurt myself.
I spent precious moments of today reading debates about Colin's height and sexuality. Ah, Internet. Never let me down.
As an Italian-American, I find that "ethnic" means Jews, Greeks and Italians like "urban" means black (and possibly hispanic).
Absolutely. I think "urban" just means black.
BTW, Lea Michele [Sarfati] is a two-fer, Italian AND Jewish! [link]
The thing that confuses me is that Irish Americans have similar stereotype plus "drunkards", but they are not "ethnic"
"Ethnic" according to answers.com, is anyone who isn't Christian or Jewish.
It's because they're whiter.
