The moms is from Chile. Her dad's dad was British. The dad's people are from Ireland and Scotland and fancy old Puritan stock. I always forget about the "almost on the Mayflower!" part of my family because my grandfather got shunned (or something like that) so we don't have as much interaction with that part of the family.

I check Hispanic if it lets me check multiple options, otherwise Caucasian.

I know of Oswego as a place where:

a.) a lot of people go to a SUNY college to drink for four years
b.) the Syracuse-area Ren Faire is based
c.) my dad used to freshwater salmon giraffe when he was healthier
d.) the local minor league wrestling troupe is based out of.

These things sound like a lot of things to know about a place but they are not.

They are the most superficial knowledge of a place possible.

Polish all the ways, although I just found out that my mom's mom's mom's maiden name is a somewhat weird-sounding name (in Polish) that I assume was originally Lithuanian.

oh yeah! My uncle traced my mom's maiden name back, and found out we were Moorish Jews in southern Spain. It is definitely a weird name that I have not heard anywhere, Spanish or otherwise.

As a kid I thought a lot about how all of the cool "ethnic" sounding names in my family got overridden by my dad's dad's boring last name. My great-grandmother was named Lizzy Blaney for godsake. Blaney, Munro, and of course on my mom's side cool Spanish names... and I end up with a boring-ass English name.

Although I really do like doing my WASPy White Guy impression. Wear a tie and shake someone's hand firmly while stating my name authoritatively, "Dan B____."

My SIL had to get married so that her "names would match," as she put it. She has a beautiful Spanish firstname-middlename contraction (one of those things they do in South America where they smush the two names together and drop a few syllables in the middle), and then a very boring, English last name. But her husband's father is Puerto Rican, so when she took his last name (she hyphenated), suddenly she's got this very long, South American-sounding name. This is not her actual name, but it's along the lines of "Maria Soledad Jones-Lopez."

I wonder what the earring is meant to signify, my first thought it gay but I think that's more a modern thing, maybe gypsy?

Meanwhile if I were making a caricature for the sake of discrediting a race/religion/social group I wouldn't give them such sick threads.

I rolled it out there for discussion Nabu, as I am continually blown away at the depth that those people at that time went to in order to build maybe the most fucked up version of shared reality I'm aware of.

I think your response is bullshit, so bite me lovely, bro. Go polish up your own class.



Well, sorry to twist up your undies as well.

I guess, for me personally, I see enough full-on racist bullshit right now, in my own day-to-day shared reality, that I don't need examples from the past to be shocked at (see Joel Ward's recent experience, for example). And indeed, I kind of like coming here and not getting additional examples of racism because of the fact that I am constantly undergoing a barrage of it. But I am happy for you that you have a low enough exposure to current racism that you find historical examples interesting instead of just another really depressing thing.
