This has really got me wondering lately... Everytime me and my friend from Korea go to a teriyaki restaurant together, the person who brings us the food always gives me a fork, and him a pair of chopsticks. Now, I happen to be quite adept as using chopsticks, so I find this rather insulting to say the least.

So, why do they *Always* give me a fork, and him a pair of chopsticks, no matter which restaurant we go to? (We have tried about 7 so far). I wonder if the same applies in reverse; if you are of asian descent but are born and raised in America, would you be insulted if you got handed a pair of chopsticks and your caucasian friend got given a fork? You feel akward about being treated differently?

Is this something that is done totally subconciously, or do you think the person giving bringing the food to the table makes a concious decision to give one person a fork, and the other chopsticks?

All theories are welcome.

I work in a front office for a medical office where everyone works in an open environment, meaning we aren't in cubicles or individual offices - everyone can hear everyone speak. I'm not at all concerned whether or not they are talking about me per se, but myself and a number of my non-Spanish speaking co-workers thinks that it is extremely rude. I have commented a number of times to them that I think it is rude, but they just smile as if I am kidding.

I think it is really rude and classless - what do others think? If you agree how could this be handled discreetly? I don't want them to think that I am snitching on them to management, but this has to end - it's very irritating.

There was an 8 year old black girl who was kidnapped around the same time Elizabeth Smart was. The 8 year old chewed her way out of the ropes and made and it back home. It's sad how this little girl did not get as much media attention as Elzabeth Smart. This little girl actually had more reasoning skills and bravery than Smart ( a teenager). It's really sad because I don't even know this little girl's name, but if I did, I would certainly laud her (for she is the one who's actually SMART). I'm not trying to sound mean, but Smart was on Oprah and several other shows getting attention; whereas this gallant little black girl received none. Just another sign of how racist the media is. Black kidnappings receive little or no attention; however, if a white person is kidnapped, it's going to be on the 12, 5, 6, and 10 o'clock news as well as on CNN, Newsweek, and etc. When will America change its ways?

Everyone has to put there sexual preferance in a label and in a brand like Gay, Straight, Bi or Lesbian. Why does it have to be like that? Why can't we just be free from labels and stereotypes?

I think that some women are sexy and kind of turn me on. But i never crush on them and couldn't imagine being in a "relationship" with a woman. I would rather date and be with a guy, and am attracted to them more. But since I am attracted to women, am I gay?

I was watching the news some time ago and saw black people alongside the minutemen joining forces to stop immigration. Why is that????? Weren't they opressed more than hispanics to be acting like they're on top of the society ladder?? That makes me mad,the ones that are joining the minutemen movement. Any reasonable answers?

I was sitting on the bus with my boyfriend and we where talking about marriage and weddings. I was telling him that I would get married a few years after college and graduate school and I would only have children in my marriage. And this girl who was sitting beside me said," That's stupid, why would you get married and then have kids? Why don't you just get pregant and tell the governmnet that you don't know where the father of you're baby is and get on welfare? Why would you get married? Men come and why the hell would you go to college?You sound like one of those white girls. Why are you so into books and learning?" I was so mad at this and so was my sweetie. He
