Sociology - January 2007

In a recent tourist trip to the US, I've noticed that, although the amount of bi-racial people (presumably white-black mix) are relatively few, there seems to be a healthy amount of bi-racial couples. However, it struck me that in a period of 2 weeks, I only saw one couple that was white male and black female, all the others were black males and white females.

Is this a skewed observation/sample or is it a fair assessment? And if it is correct, what are the reasons that might explain it?

well im 17, i used to be really outgoing back in middle schools years since i started high school i got really quiet and talk very low, and every yr that i passed in high its just been getting worse, now im a junior, and i just want get this wall that i have in front of me out because it wont be good to be shy for my whole life, but when i try to overcome it, its just a hard thing to do, im always afraid of making a fool of myself, and ppl have a hard time talking to me because i normally start talking in a low voice and hey cant hear me. I'm not an that of an Unsocial person at all, i talk more when i start feeling confortable with the person i talk to, but it takes some time for that to happen. so for ppl that actually beated it...was it hard ?

why is it when you look at other people, their life seems so perfect, good grades, good in sports, polite and friendly. everything seems to be just straight for them.

then sometimes when you look back at your own, it seems .... not as good. why?

What if we just had "suggestions" (in case your reasoning is that we have laws to tell the 'dumb' people how to live safely)

- Or are laws to save people from thinking?

(Doncha just love it when people admit that the law is of no real value e.g. "legal nothing... she's not 18..." )

Apparently (according to a source which has gone from my mind), the reason why we get on with some people straight instantly and we cannot explain it is because are on the same 'level' due to electrical impulses from the body........believe or don't believe?

Consider working for many years and becoming ill and disabled and older with a lower income. What would you do if you were such a person? How would you feel if you became aware of blatant discrimination against you because you no longer look as healthy, young, wealthy? What might you say to a store employee who asks to see a receipt for your purchases before you are allowed to leave the store? What if someone stood beside you at a deli asking you if you need any help when you're just trying to decide which sandwich to buy? What if you were followed around a store while just shopping like you have in the past (and were not followed)? Remember you are still an honest, contributing, straight forward person with physical appearance differences. Please tell me exactly what you think, please.
