Refining my topic.
As the population of the United States continues to become less diverse with the blending of races, the white majority will likely begin looking for competent allies to recognize with and continue to sit on top of the hierarchy. Whites have allowed previously “colored” (as they were recognized in early censuses) peoples to assimilate once they have proven their worth but more importantly have the correct skin pigmentation. Early Italian immigrants were seen as colored and looked at as a lower race upon arriving to the United States during the Industrial Revolution.[4] Not until they were able to separate themselves from free Northern Blacks and establish themselves in the community where they treated as white.[4] Herbert Gans suggests a transformation from the dual racial hierarchy seen today in the United States of white vs. non-white, to black vs. non-black.

This is a very serious topic.
Even though race doesn't (seem) to be such an issue anymore, there's still these lines we've created for ourselves. And if you cross those lines things tend to get a little weird...
If you're black...you obviously must have really bad grammer.
If you're white...you must obviously be stuck up.
If you've hispanic...you must obviously be really stupid.
If you're asian...you must obviously have really bad eyesight.
And if you're mixed...you must obviously...
They can do whatever they want, can't they?
