Okay, so it isn't that funny.

It's the only dirty joke, well it's the only joke I know. Figured it would give someone a chuckle.

[SaabsBreakDown]

Technicly all american whites are european. Only native americans are americans. Caucasian is a wrong term for white people in USA, Caucasians are the people who live near mountain caucus and south part of it incudes turkic people who are not of european origin. Correct term for american whites is "anglo-saxons" because most american whites came from north western europe.

Wow, that's pretty racist. That's like saying the correct term for any Hispanic person is "Mexican"


from the intertubes:
"The term Anglo-Saxon is a relatively modern one. It refers to settlers from the German regions of Angeln and Saxony, who made their way over to Britain after the fall of the Roman Empire around AD 410.

The Roman armies withdrew from Britain early in the fifth century because they were needed back home to defend the crumbling centre of the Empire. Britain was considered a far-flung outpost of little value.

At this time, the Jutes and the Frisians from Denmark were also settling in the British Isles, but the Anglo-Saxon settlers were effectively their own masters in a new land and they did little to keep the legacy of the Romans alive. They replaced the Roman stone buildings with their own wooden ones, and spoke their own language, which gave rise to the English spoken today.

The Anglo-Saxons also brought their own religious beliefs, but the arrival of Saint Augustine in 597 converted most of the country to Christianity."

anglo-saxons? so us white people should refer ourselves properly by people that were living in the british isles like 1000 years ago? What if you're Italian, or Russian, or Croatian, or Estonian, or Polish, etc? You're still a white european, and not from the northwest.

By your logic, mexicans could be grouped up into native mexicans, or "real" mexicans, i.e. Mayans, Aztecs, etc and "european" mexicans, or technically "the Spanish".

If we live in America, what should we call ourselves? I suppose i could refer to myself as Romishengussian. :shrug:

(Romanian/irish/english/russian)

(edit- ok so it was more like 1,500 years ago. doesn't help the argument anyways.) :p

"All we know is, he's not the Stig. But he is the Stig's American cousin"

How much top gear have you watched? They are baaaaaad to america...

there was an american car recently shown on the show that beat the top speed record. JC said "...and i've been told it has a completely flat belly... 'bout the only thing from America that does..."

They were also testing some car that had pretty large seats I suppose, probably a truck. He mentioned something about the seats being wide to accomodate "those fat Californians.". I dunno, maybe he got California confused with Texas?
