i'm not sure but it sounds like this race talk is getting a bit, intense.
anyway, personally, it's not diffiicult for me to identify one person from the other belonging to the same race. but honestly, i have a bit of a hard time for white guys in person. On tv, i can spot the difference. But when i see a white man right in front of me, I can never tell if he's American or European, but I can't mistake him for another white man, that's for sure.

White Anglo-Saxon Protestants.

I don't even get the reasoning to that name. Lesson 1, don't educate yourself on wiki.

it's more PC than "whites"?

seriously, local media here has used that term since time immemorial

people who are White, come from Northern/Central Europe (Ango-Saxon), Protestants... meaning most of Scandinavia, The UK, at one time France, Germany the Netherlands, and many of the Low Countries. WASP isn't a wikipedia invention, it's a recognized historical term that is extensively used by experts and amateurs alike.

I also would have no idea what that meant. You aren't alone Kay. I was wondering why you were capitalising it.

PC has been taken FAR too far.

I get what your posts mean now.
