ObamaCare’s Compulsory Race Question

Posted on Comments

You can’t see a doctor now unless you fill out a questionnaire about race and ethnicity, and Maetenloch comments at AOSHQ:

“Thanks Obama and Congress. These days
I always put myself down as ‘Mixed’ since
a) it’s true in the larger sense and
b) it fucks up all their statistics.”

Heh. If there is an option of fill-in-the-blank for “Other,” I would suggest writing in some archaic category: “Sumerian,” “Hittite,” “Hun,” “Hottentot,” “Creole” or “Octaroon.” As for myself, I’m pretty sure “Celto-Hibernian” or “Appalachian-American” would do.

Note to regular readers: Please excuse the paucity of routine blogging the past two days. Ever since Wednesday, when I began whacking that commie punk Jesse Myerson upside the head, I keep finding new reasons to maintain the momentum of the assault. His choice to reply with insulting sarcasm inevitably requires me to expose his ignorant folly with utmost ruthlessness. So I must beg for your patience, as I’ve been busy rooting around in the Marxist classics — e.g., “The Victory of the Counter-Revolution in Vienna” — for materials necessary to the next crushing onslaught of this brutal campaign.

  4. Technically, Stacy, since you are a Celt, you can put down “Cimmerian” and be historically and genetically correct. “CROM AND MITRA!”

  6. Hey Stacey! by How about a multi-part series on” The History of Communism,” that would focus on the failures of the system, both in human lives as well as in the market? The 50 million dead under Stalin, the 20 million under Pol Pot, the uncounted millions under Mao. . . plus the debris of the Five Year Plans, etc. It could be fun as well as educational, if not good for a few thousand page hits from outraged leftists.

  11. Obviously, they failed to check with the State Department, offering both Chinese and Taiwanese as options, which will urinate off the People’s Republic to no end.

  13. Serialize the “Black Book of Communism.” Takes less effort, and will still get the insane left acting like a Squirrel in front of an onrushing truck.

  16. I put down “Khazarian” on the last census form, but Mrs. Z intercepted and changed it before it was sent back…

  17. Upon further review of the questionnaire at the link, one wonders who was in charge of creating it. Aside from being intrusive, it is nonsensical, to the point where the data obtained –assuming people tell the truth–is nonsensical. Case in point: There’s a “Spanish Basque” category, but none for those Basques on the North slope of the Pyrenees. If there are no “French” Basques, why specify “Spanish?” Hell, why modify “Basque” at all if they only live in Spain?

    Or consider the category “Iwo Jiman” under the “race” category. WTF? The were and are no “native” racial Iwo Jimans. They’re Japanese. And today, they’re in the Japanese Defense Force, because that (and occasional groups of U.S. Marines) are the only ones allowed on the island, which BTW is now called, “Iwo To.”

    One more: They list “Pakistani” as a race, but ignore those former subjects of the Raj to their immediate East. They list “Bangladeshi,” though. What a cluster****.

  22. What if the left side of my body is black, unlike those scum whose right side is black? How am I supposed to list myself?! You better NOT be listing me in with them!

  26. “When men view our blogs in such large numbers, it’s a threat.”

    Wow.

    There’s a comment at the bottom about the horrors of “women being groomed into heterosexuality.”

    We chuckle at this, but these people get jobs as teachers. At what point do you say, “No more allowing insanity into the mainstream”? It’s all fun and games to laugh at the lunatic fringe… until they’re the lunatic national culture.

  27. Just wait until you get into the comments and read the stuff about ‘culling’:

    Or does Violence only register as Violence when we are talking about Women invoking our Natural right to utilize Culling — a Universally accepted practice against Overpopulations of various Organisms by the way — against Males in Self Defense.

  28. Sadly, all too many of us do get it. I think I’m about to begin my tenth reading this year. (Which of course means the entire collected works, not just the big four).

    I’m a real hit at parties.

  33. Go with Numenorean.
    They give you any crap, whip out Narsil and/or Anduril and have at them in your own personal idiom.

  37. Well I’m representative of a true minority I guess..
    American White Christian Male.
    Can I get an Obama phone as well?

  38. Robert,

    If you are looking for another drum to beat, one even dumber than Jesse M., try reading Marc Adler at: http://www.splicetoday.com/politics-and-media/prescription-for-a-more-just-american-society. Note that Splice is edited (I think) by Russ Smith, who is pretty bright, so I can’t explain how this piece made it into print. For example, Adler writes: “’the growth of wealth in some parts of the world goes hand in hand with the growth of poverty in others… British capitalism’s success was the root of India’s crisis and decline….'” It’s hard to imagine a statement more willfully at war with the facts, with history, with the real world. Enjoy!

  39. What’s interesting is that in the middle of her essay, she writes this:

    Receiving so many comments denying what I said one after the other reinforces my sense of isolation, of outlandishness, of being the only one who knows. It makes me doubt the reality of my perceptions, it makes me waver, it shakes my foundations for a bit. I start questioning what I said. If so many people assert this with such confidence and if it contrasts so starkly with my perceptions, how can my assumptions be real?

    That’s sort of the point of using Reason to figure things out. While one should be leery of any “consensus” or appeal to numbers, by the same token, if many people are questioning your perceptions and conclusions, perhaps those perceptions and conclusions are due for a review.

  41. Just like the Boogey Man, and the Monster Under the Bed, and the Dread Stranger we are not supposed to take candy from — these are all euphemisms for men’s known propensity, Globally and across time, to abduct, rape and murder Children.

  43. Will not indulge that kind of impertinence. You will not be my doctor if you refuse care unless I fill out the hitler chart.

  45. In Richmond they used to say North Carolina schools taught the 3 Rs – Readin’, Writin’, and the Road to Richmond.

    Another saying was “the best thing to come out of North Carolina is an empty bus.”
