Why do Jews use this word to describe 'hostility against' them? The majority of Jews in the US and Israel are not even purely Semitic since they have interbred with the Anglo Saxons for centuries. Aren't the true Semites those who are Middle Eastern (the Arabs, Arab Muslims, Arab Christians and Arab Jews who never mixed with the Europeans)? If they refer to 'Semitic' in a religious sense, aren't Islam and Christianity considered Semitic religions then? Wouldn't it extremely ignorant and incorrect to label Muslims/Arabs anti-semitic when the Arabs are technically 'more Semitic' than they are? It would be more accurate to refer to hostility against Jews as 'Anti Jew' rather than 'Anti-Semitic', because the people who are accused to be the most 'anti-semitic' are the Muslim Arabs (who are purely Semitic!)...it's confusing why such an inaccurate term is still being used!!

Well? I know that the economy was doing well when Bill Clinton was in office, but now it seems the economy is heading into a bit of a slump. How much control and influence does the president really have over all of this? Is the economy really just a cycle that the president doesn't influence?

I don't mean this to be any kind of racist question and this question does not specifically pertain to race but rather culture (because its great how we can all have different looks, skin tones and appearances but yet still have one culture).

Do you think too much diversity can hurt the USA? For instance, not having an official language causes a lot of division, barriers, and hostility between people. Same with culture. Doesn't America need a real culture besides the mass media and the "green" that Americans of all races can be able to work in harmony with?

I know some will say its the melting pot that is America's culture, and while this is true, then why are so many different types so hostile to one another? In my opinion America NEEDS a real culture not just a fake one or one that favors only one specific race or generalization.

What's your opinion? No rude answers please.

Maybe, maybe not.
Sharing in this forum is to my mind the same as answering.
There exist many intelligent posters here, male and female.
They have words, wit and wisdom.
There exists also the "Underclass" of poster.
If the "Underclass" are ignored they will fade away.

Seriously...why are Asians perceived as feminine and softy-softy
and Black people as strong/athletic.

Is it the body shape? the eyes? WHAT IS EEEEET?
