Please - I shall no longer be referred to as - "White." Or Caucasian either!
Nope - no, no way; No - Whitey, White Boy, White Man, White Skinned, Lilly White, Toe Headed, Arian, Scandinavian, Saxon or any other derivative description, traditionally associated with - "light skin pigmentation."
Why?
White Man! Those White Men!
It has become unfashionable to the point of severe negativity. "To be White," to be "Caucasian," has become a descriptor that casts vast, deep - negative aspersion.
And I for one - find it quite offensive.
Just like certain folks of - darker skin pigmentation, or reddish, or olive'ish skin color types - they might (and most often do) find such descriptors as; Darky, Black, Red, Yellow, High-Yellow, Indian, just to name a few - to cast negative shadows over "who they really are - just average people," - so too have I come to realize that being labeled as "a White Man," - is a very, very negative and highly derogatory thing.
So hence forth, hence forth - I shall only be referred to as (Drum roll please!) a - Pre-Revolution Blood Lineage American - that would be a PRBLA - or "Purbla," for short and ease of saying.
And yes, I am a proud Purbla at that. I didn't ask for it. It just happened. I was simply born this way. And please - don't hold me responsible for any now outdated social travesties of "their time," - my forefather's time, don't even think you can logically hold me responsible for, "what shit they did." I had absolutely nothing to do with what they did and how they lived their lives. I'm not responsible for their actions at all.
Not me baby!
I am current, I am modern - I am a Purbla(!) - a Pre-Revolution Blood Lineage American.
So, don't call me white. Them's (that is a) fightin' word(s).
Thank you all.
