Do you suppose any of us out there believe that "Concerned Zionist" submitted this?

Why don't you go get a life for yourself, something presumably you don't have right now, hiding as you are behind someone else's "signature" here.

I thought I sent you a brief note here when I saw your suggestion; perhaps (gasp!) it was deleted. In any event, I missed the speech, was at work, etc. Thanks for advising me of same, however!

More later, friend

I have always wondered.. are asian people "people of colour"?

this guy here has basically explained which races must not turn up at this event so I understand what he means (under his WHO section)
but just wondering.. I mean they are colourful and all.

How does one exactly define a person of colour and does it fall under the one drop rule or a more balance of skin colour sort of a rule.

Under state law and civil case law, appalachian whites and other white people from chronically poor areas are "people of color" or at least protected classes. Are they invited?

"THIS IS A PEOPLE OF COLOR-ONLY EVENT"

Do I qualify? I am an octaroon, with an Asian mother. Are we working off "one drop of blood" or something more modern? Thank you for your consideration.
