— Ace Dick Harpoolian is a nasty Democratic hack. He says things like calling Lindsey Graham light in the loafers, but of course the media never notices, because he's a Democrat, and he's doing it for a good reason.
He wants the world to know that Nikki Haley is lying when she says she's white. She's a dirty Indian, he needs you to know.
hat box should Gov. Nikki Haley check when it comes to her race?The South Carolina Democratic Party tried Thursday to make Haley out as a liar for checking "white" as her race on her 2001 Lexington County voter registration application.
But the application had no specific option for "Indian." Her options were "white, black/African-American, Asian, Hispanic, Native American or other."
Dick Harpootlian, the Democratic Party chairman, said whether Haley listed her race as white or not doesn't matter to him. The point is, he said, that the governor has a pattern of twisting the truth.
"Haley has been appearing on television interviews where she calls herself a minority -- when it suits her," Harpootlian said. "When she registers to vote, she says she is white. She has developed a pattern of saying whatever is beneficial to her at the moment."
Well, let's note for the record there are several races which do not fall comfortably into the four-square White/Black/Hispanic/Asian grid, and Indians are one of them.
Indians are, as Hitler might remind him, "Aryans," an authoritative racial classification that should appeal to Dick Harpoolian, coming as it does from his role model.
Remind me again who the Yahoo Backwards Racialists are again?
When the parties realigned, all the racists went to the Republican party, right?
Riiiiiight?

I'm sure we have our share of old-fashioned racists in the Republican party, but only progressives could pretend they aren't racist while being incredibly racist at the same time. With their brains in a constant state of cognitive dissonance, it's no wonder they can't come up with any new ideas, but instead want to return us to our natural state, totalitarianism.

Last names ending in "ian" are usually Armenian in origin. Although, in his case, "cocksucker" sounds more appropriate.

The Southern-fried, ass-backwards, Foghorn-Leghorn Jim Crow racist pols like Dick Harpoolian all remained in the Democrat Party that was their natural home, and there they are today. Everyone else in the South gradually migrated over to the Republicans once finally given an alternative to the Jim Crow Party, an alternative that didn't exist until a few decades ago. (See: Perry, Rick.)

BTW, ragging on Hindus is one of the 3 last acceptable prejudices, what with Southerners, straight white fathers, and the dot-Indians rounding out the bunch.

For the Leftists to create division and special interests pandering, it's important for them to shrink the classification of "white" down to those of Western and Northern European descent. Kind of like white supremacy groups do, but the Left does it for only kind and benevolent reasons you know.

And democrats probably know this will work to some extent. Sowing bigotry is their speciality and always has been. Many partisan lefties truly do have a problem with the race of many people.
We should all call ourselves black, as political movement. Under the democrat code, if you have one molecule of black DNA, you are black, right? And all humans come from Africa.
If you have dark hair, you probably have a black person much closer than that in your family tree.
We should all mark black on our census forms, any survey, and whenever the government asks. On college applications, on job application, etc.
Just ruin the ability to track race, which is a completely artificial and stupid way to group people.

Not White = Everyone else, who are entitled victims
Jews = White if Israelis oppressing Arabs even though Arabs are derived from the same Semitic ethnic division. Not White if they are Americans entitled to historic victim status
Hispanic = Americans with Spanish surnames even though a black Dominican is has nothing in common with an Indian Guatemalan other than surname and primary language
Exception = Cuban or Mexican Republicans with more than 25 percent Mediterranean Spanish ancestry

I'm a proud Mongrel American--my ancestors showed up here in the early 1600's and over the last 400 years have screwed and slept with anything and anyone who walks--and some who didn't. One ancestor was a Baptist preacher in South Carolina in the 1780's who was known as "Blind John" and married a woman named "Jemima". He couldn't tell the difference and didn't care. So I have an Aunt Jemima somewhere in my background.

I was hoping that redistricting would take a huge hunk out of Clyburn's district but that is not going to occur. The commies are pushing for the new district to come mainly out of Tim Scott's district. But it looks like it is going to be split between between Mulaveney's and Scott's district if the Republican plan is approved.
The Dems are combining with dissenter Repubs though to tie it up so that the courts will determine the district next week.

It just denotes someone of Spanish ancestry. Spanish. Spain. Which is lilly white.
But that's besides the point.
Indians are, I believe, Indo-European. Caucasoid, in sciencey speak. So yeah, Governor Hailey can tick off white on her census form without being a liar. But it's not like the gub'mint really asks for race race. It's not asking caucasoid, negroid, mongoloid. Cause that's pretty much it.
