    Your NOT considered Anglo. You are considered Caucasian. That means your ancestors originally came from the Caucaus region of the Middle East. Between Iran and Russia in the Caucasian Mountains area.

    What doesn't offend them? Treating the SAME WAY YOU WOULD WANT TO BE TREATED!

    Everyone deserves respect, consideration, and deceny to be accorded to them the same as you do.

    Is it OK to call them Colored as in the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People?

    What about ***** as in the United ***** College Fund?

    well, first of all, calling people "colored" is offensive. try using the term that identifies what culture the person is from and not their skin color.

    examples:

    Black=African American

    Yellow/Chinese=Asian

    Mexican/Puerto Rican =Latino

    East Indian=Indian/South Asian

    Indian =American Indian/Native American

    whatever you do, just dont call people colored. you might get your *** kicked one day.

    i cant believe you had to ask a question like that in 2006, but i guess it shows you're at least TRYING not to be a bigot.

    Steve, what does the A after your name stand for? Is the third letter an S by any chance?

    What doesn't offend people is refraining from referring to them by color. Men, women, children, people, Ma'am, Sir, Mister, PEOPLE. Not color.

    You should really start calling us human beings. This is not the 1930s.
