I realize that we are are all individuals and we are not defined soley by our religion, sex, race or place of origin. In certain contexts however (such as filling out forms, reports, etc) it becomes necessary to identify (such as when working with demographics) classes and races of people. With this in mind, please tell me, in your opinion, what the best term to use is for each of the following, so as to not offend the persons being refered to:

1) White, Caucasion or Anglo

2) Black, African American, *****

3) Hispanic, Latino(a)

4) Indian, American Indian, Native American

5) Asian, Oriental

If you have an answer in the "other" catagory please let me know. This question is not meant to offend anyone so I must ask that all answers be respectful as well.

Thanks

I just went and used the restroom at work ... this woman was in there (about the third time we've been in there at same time in past month) and she viciously scrubs her hands for a whole minute before going into the stall, flushes the toilet BEFORE using it, comes out and viciously scrubs her hands again ... a bit odd? Obviously it's an OCD, but do any non-OCD people do this?

Does anyone believe that we are living in the last days on Earth. Do you believe in the rapture? Are you looking forward to it?

i love this country and want to stay. given the chance i'd fight for this country.
i'm sick of the way young boys and girls are going back to their faith. young girls are now wearing the hijab to piss of the authority. these young girls do not their faith yet they are rebelling. as for boys i'm also worried that they are also finding solace in their faith when society is rejecting them.

Okay, I have two questions.

One, how much would you estimate the cost of a rose quartz crystal?

And two, would my family suspect from a rose quartz crystal that I am wiccan?

Additionally, what is a good way for atheists to impart feelings of support and intentions for a good outcome to those who believe in God (for instance, someone is going for a cancer biopsy. A believer would say "I'll pray for you" an atheist could say "good luck", "I wish you well") can you think of anything a little more powerful?

2 days ago I answered a question called "Do Muslims have a sense of humour?"
To test this I told a joke about a woman saying "does my bo.mb look big in this" it was a violation ? !
In almost all humour somebody has to be the butt of the joke. Anyone can laugh at others and say they have a sense of humour but the true test of this question is to see if Muslims can laugh at themselves. One of them reported a harmless joke so I think I proved that they can't and therefore the question is resolved that they do not have a sense of humour. If we are to have an open forum here Yahoo can't protect one group ahead of everyone else. Every other grouping on this medium get a much tougher time. There must be hundreds of questions and answers insulting Christians, Yanks, Brits, Irish jokes all over the place. If I insist they remove Irish jokes and insults to George Bush would they do it. No they wouldn't. So please can we have a little balance here and stop pandering to a small pressure group

how come i keep seeing this question come up? athiests ask questions about christianity. it should be those who ask about evolution (namely christians) that should take themselves to the SCIENCE section as evolution is science not a religion.

think, if your a computer geek and want to know how to cook, why would u ask your question on cooking in the computer geek section.... wouldnt u take it to the cooking section?

I know that I'm a highly sexed female and I deal with that but does anyone else have a so called sex itch? It's like an itch that just covers your entire lower half and you can't itch it but try and releave it? But then a little while later it comes back. Anyone know about something like this? I'm just curious.
