But why ask those who are not of those ethnicites? It's always good to go to the source.

Because it's being said by a group that is simultaneously bitching about not being included in our reindeer games.

And if you can't beat 'em or join 'em...then do your own damn thing.

AAAANYway, there are just some things that I may mention that you will not possibly relate to in a way that another Af/American will relate to. (and NOOO I don't mean "studying" or "discussing" either!!)

Not to say that ALL Af/Ams will necessarily relate, but I'd be willing to bet that they would have SOME kind of recognition/connection in some way. I just don't see why that's so "upsetting" to some people.
