    “white” is an increbibly malleable category, anyway. At one point, the Irish (who are generally even lighter-skinned than the English due to higher percentage of gingers) were considered non-white. Nowadays, most people would consider Italians and Spaniards white, and there’s quite a few hispanic people who both look white and consider themselves white (due to being descended from European immigrants). There’s a similar dynamic in India, southern Indians are often darker than ‘black’ americans while many north Indians could pass as southern europeans.


  • I suppose we have pumpkins, too. At least this holiday is pretty fun, even if no one actually celebrates it here (there’s little chance it gets adoption here, where I live we even have a hard time getting into carnival, even though that holiday has native tradition).

    Anyway, late August christmas sweets are way better than any Halloween-themed food or drink.
