What?

The report shows that non-Hispanic white women get about 40 percent of all U.S. abortions, black women 32 percent and Hispanic women, who can be of any race, 20 percent. Women of other races account for the other 8 percent. Black and Hispanic women have higher rates of abortion than non-Hispanic whites, the report states.

"Non-Hispanic white women"...indicating, I suppose, there are Hispanic White women. Oh, and..."Hispanic women, who can be of any race"...
Are we really so desparate to categorize every human being so we can divide them into the greatest possible number of groups that we have Hispanic and non-Hispanic white women and White Hispanic, Black Hispanic, and "other Hispanic women?
Good to know stupidity can be found anywhere. Here is a thought. "women, some male and some non-male". Might as well throw that in. Okay, enough vitriol for one outing.
If you are my friend and I EVER hear you breaking women, men, children, or elephants into categories like this, if I find you so racially sensitive and offensive, the odds are we will have words.
Here is to a color blind society where we can just look at each other as people.
