Y'know...ethnicity is a funny thing.
In most of the South, especially my native Louisiana, there is no question that I'm "black."
However, according to Texas, blacks are of non-hispanic origin, making me "hispanic" here.
Thus, I have occasionally had to correct racists who call me names...introducing them to the terms "Nic" or "Spigger." Of course, this is usually too much for them, and after being struck dumb with mortal confusion, their heads explode in a display of stars 'n' bars.
BTW- my complex ethnicity & how its regarded in the USA completely blows the minds of the Europeans and Middle Eastern people I know.
