“The History of White People”: What it means to be white. In 2000, the Human Genome Project finally answered one of the most fundamental questions about race: What, if anything, is the genetic difference between people of different skin colors — black, white, Hispanic, Asian? The answer: nearly nothing. As it turns out, we all share 99.99 percent of the same genetic code — no matter our race — a fact that, geneticist J. Craig Venter claimed, proves that race is a “social concept, not a scientific one.” Mixed-race people are not beautiful. Isn’t the National Geographic that magazine that goes off to far-flung places and takes photos of unusual flowers, exotic birds, tribes “that hide from man”? In other words, “The Other”? Am I supposed to look at these photographs of fellow mixed-race people and say: “Oh wow – how funny looking!” Apparently I am. The article starts with the line: “What is it about the faces on these pages that we find so intriguing?”

Nell Irvin Painter is an African-American historian at Princeton. I just finished her fascinating History of White People. The big story is what a slippery category "White" is, and how many today considered "White" used not to be.
My German and Scots-Irish ancestors, some of whom probably arrived as indentured servants (i.e. temporary slaves), were called "guano" (birdsh*t) by Ralph Waldo Emerson in 1851. Emerson of course placed Anglo-Saxon English at the top of the racial hierarchy. But my ancestors later made it into the top in solidarity against new waves of "black" Irish Catholic immigrants in the mid-19th century, considered to belong to the inferior Celtic race. Irish Catholics in turn were moved up into whiteness when the "swarthy" southern Europeans and eastern European Jews arrived in the late 19th century and early 20th century. Painter ranges far and wide, detailing efforts to define the poor as a separate race, and poverty a hereditable condition.

Native American Quote's. Household management and Servants of the Victorian Era. In large establishments there are several house-maids and according to the number kept the actual work of the head house-maid may be determined being practically little if there be many, while her responsibilities are in inverse ratio.
She has not so much to do the work as to see that it is done, reserving the lighter and more important tasks for her own share. The best upper housemaids are those that have risen to the post, having thus had a good sound training and possessing a practical knowledge of how every household task should be performed.
