I started a thread about this yesterday to have a sort of POC conversation. What is the definition? Who qualifies? How is it determined and proven?
It wasn't a great conversation, because no one has any answers to the questions. Like you just said, Asians are minorities in the U.S. However, they are not considered minorities regarding college admissions. Why?
What is a hispanic? Who determines such things?

Well, it's a discretionary determination made by those bureaucrats in control of the applicable governmental agency dispensing hand outs. There is no prescriptive basis other than to diminish the historical power of "whites" in this country.
Hence the seemingly contradictory status of Asians. Affirmative Action was initially instituted as a means of helping Blacks in this country, who were viewed as facing a very particular set of historical disadvantages. It was never meant to be applied to women (as women), Latinos, Asians, etc.
However, when it began to be wielded as a sword by bureaucrats, it became useful to include every "minority" under the sun. The problem was that certain minorities became successful despite the supposed prevailing racism they faced. That's when Asians could not be considered a minority anymore for purposes of certain things like college admissions.

I look forward to the day when this whole fricking country is fricking mixed up brown, mocha people so I don't have to listen to shite like this any more.
I don't give a frick what color you are, what color person you marry, etc, etc, etc. Get a job. Become a productive member of society and not a criminal. Leave me the frick alone.

Well, this is never going to happen.

Spoken like someone exercising their white privilege.

It's already happening, tbh. We'll all eventually meet somewhere in the middle

I agree. It shouldn't matter. But unfortunately, the laws and politics of this country make it matter.
Promoting these differences gives power to certain people and they do not want to give that up.

It's the same reason you have to have a homosexual on just about every network program these days, despite the fact they represent less than 4 percent of the population.

No doubt. There will always be some hold outs, but over the next couple of generations, I see an America turning mocha. I wonder what people will find to bitch about then?

Nope but shes probably the only black woman I can say that about. Im not attracted to black features. Halle Berry has white girl features for the most part. Shes also not obese and doesnt have a dump truck arse

There are millions of white and non-black girls with exactly those features
Black girls come in every body type, with the full spectrum of features.

Of the names I recognize, I find none of those women attractive. Beyonce is fat to me.
FWIW im also not very attracted to most asian women

You are right T-bird. I don't find overweight women attractive and a vast majority of black women are overweight.

Eh, just leave it at that, then. Hell, neither do I, tbh.
Myriad of perfectly fit black women out there, though, as you well know, I'm sure.

There are, I just don't run into many anymore since I got out of coaching track

Why waste time trying to convince a racist that black women are attractive? Who cares what he thinks?

This thread has certainly come along way from TJGator's weak troll attempt . . . however, a few observations of things:
No man, of any race, likes really dark skin; pure sub-saharans women are simply not desirable.
Black men miscegenate more than other races and cry racism when someone points out the disproportionate ratio.
Black woman/White man couples exist, and it's a big deal . . . they almost never work out in the long run.
No one can agree on what "POC" means.
Black posters and many white liberals seem surprised at "racism" even though it is merely human nature (and perhaps some Freudian aggression) to perceive white women with a male of another race as unsettling (Lesson for all: You cannot regulate human nature, only curb its effects)
No one can agree on what "racism" means.
"Racism is alive and well" is a retarded statement . . . THERE. WILL. ALWAYS. BE. RACISM. (see above Lesson for all)
Black women of any shade may be beautiful on the outside, but are kind of nasty on the inside.
Commence downvotes . . .
