Another "toilet paper" reference?

Just typical of our very inefficient and incompetent and getting very useless federal government. We are being run into the ground by bureaucrats and the stupid federal employees who work for them. All of the federal employees that I have to deal with on a regular basis have an air of superiority and think that they are worth putting up on a pedestal when, in fact, most of them are really on the weirdo side of life.
Nobody received the FAQ. They know nobody reads the FAQ's anyway.
But I fail to understand why the 4473 and all the "requirments" one must jump through to "enjoy" the forefathers' guarantees. The second amendment is the only one that we have to go above and beyond and through the ringer to exercise.
I was at Westforth the other day and I was looking that and had a debate about how what we call "race" or ethnicity isn't what it really means. Like White is not a race, and neither is Asian or Native American. It really doesn't make sense how the labels on that. Personally just write down what skin color you are and that's it. It doesn't mean anything. It's like putting down what color your eyes are on your driver's license or how much you weigh. It doesn't change you the person, just makes it better to ID you.
Actually, I think this is just an effort to make things more accurate.
"Hispanic" isn't a race, it's an ethnicity. A Hispanic person can be White, Black, Native American, or a mix of any of the three. You can find people born in Mexico, from families that have been in Mexico for over a century, who are more or less pure European.
It's why some countries have stopped tracking race entirely, because it is more or less meaningless.
For example, a couple I know has two (adorable) daughters. The father is Caucasian and the mother is Asian. So, when the girls grow and someday decide to buy a gun, what box are they going to check? Caucasian ? Asian? If we follow the old, racist, "one drop rule", then the girls will be Asian. But is that really accurate?
Or take our President for example. He is billed as the first African-American President. But is he? His mother is Caucasian and his father is Black. He self-identifies as Black and the community accepts him as Black, but he really could check either box on the form (or select "Other") if he wanted to. Really, most African-Americans in the US, descended from people who were enslaved, are most likely mixed with Caucasian ancestry as well a some Native American. Plenty of "white" Americans have the same mix.

So can I start checking "FEMALE" instead of "MALE"? For the record, I'm a male lesbian - a woman trapped in a man's body and attracted to other women.
According to the paper that went out, white people do not exist in South Africa. Which means I need to talk to a South African friend and find out where he's really from.

Lol. I wasn't trying to make that reference, but now that you mention it.....It really does work
I lose sleep every night knowing that I'm white. These guys, who are no longer white, can now sleep a tad bit better everyday because they are no longer the majority of the world and they have someone standing up for them.
Let me get this straight, there really are white Latino's just because some bureaucrat says so???? WTF...over
