Fellow minorities, post your race card.
I got a 5 of Clubs.

My mom is more "ethnic looking" and drew a Queen.

8. Yeah, but I'm sober and Irish which makes me a minority among a minority so I'm entitled to whine...

3. I'm a white, Irish-American male, but...
both times I've been to Europe, strangers speak Spanish to me instead of English. Apparently, I "look Spanish."

So, instead of a 2, I'm going with a 3. Of hearts. :P

30. You're possibly black Irish,
check out these links:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Irish

http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a930730.html

A little known fact about the Irish is that they were sold as slaves to plantations in the Caribbean. African slaves were valued higher than Irish slaves, one black slave worth two Irish slaves, probably because they were better suited to the environment.

http://www.kavanaghfamily.com/articles/2003/20030618jfc.htm

I'm also Irish-American. Often people in the Italian community of the city I grew up in would insist I was from Italy.

I'm proud of my Irish heritage. I often point out to people that if it wasn't for beer the Irish would have ruled the world.

4. Well depends how you define "ethnic"
I'm as white and anglo as they come but I'm an immigrant who is naturalized and is doing well in this economy so I'd guess I'm about a 9 of diamonds.

Hell, I'm brown sometimes (sort of a transition between sunburnt orange and lily white).

You can do better than that.

24. That would cover a lot.
Is that a royal flush of discrimination?

Congratulations on being strong.

Full house?

23. mixtures of oppressed groups
I had a friend in college who was descended from French-Canadians, American Indians, African slaves, Mexican immigrants, Irish immigrants, and a couple of others I can't recall. She joked about being a descendant of most of the oppressed groups in North America, though she didn't bring it up unless people asked about her unusual last name or were talking about their own ancestors. Noone could guess where she was from geographically or ethnically from her looks. Lovely, beautiful woman.

27. I am a Sicilian-American and I am sick and tired of these Sopranos and Godfather movies.....
....and that ilk. Goodfellas is another one. And they are always running stories on the History Channel about the so called Sicilian and American Mafia.

Will you people join me in boycotting all that crap and nonsense?

34. That's a great pic. The drummer particularly.
The church of Rock and Roll puts Jeebus in heart and fear in your soul! But keep that damn drummer in a plastic cage.
