At my work place i'm often the only visable minority , im mixed black /white, some people enjoy telling black jokes or black stereotypes and either directing it towards me or saying something racial not knowing i can hear it. They've made jokes about my skin colour, stealing, jokes that are sexual and deal with race, taste in music, hair, crime, and so on. Sometimes it just bothers me, would these white people get upset if i told them degrading racist jokes directed towards white people? If im just being sensitive and its all in fun they why are they not telling racist white jokes? sometimes when they say things it can ignite early memorys of childhood racism, i live in a small city and would be the only minority kid in a class room at school. Im considering moving to a bigger urban center thats multicultural and not unicultural, my friends are all different races and cultures, im into different sub cultures, food, people, religion. racist jokes ok?,

I've been visiting other sites and I just don't feel comfortable there. I gave what I thought was a nice, reasoned answer to a question, and got two thumbs down.

So, I'm slinking back home to where I feel more comfortable -- in seniors.

Do you think a person's race should generally determine a person's culture? Should a person align himself w/the country he was raised in, the country his parents were born in, or the country where he is a citizen?

Is it *racist* to criticise a foreign culture?

I just want an honest opinion.
If a person not black uses the N word, black people will consider it an uttermost insult, and rigtfully so.
But I dont understand is why blacks say it (especially those "gangsta" personna). Arent they really allowing themselves to be insulted by themselves or is there something that I am not getting here?
An insult is an insult, that shouldnt make it okay for anyone to say it, blacks or not.

not bothered?
outraged?
no opinion?

I'm only asking this because the Politics section of YA is filled with more conservatives then progressives. And honestly I don't see how people can say that homophobia is ok & I'm straight.

Okay I was the other days at a nail salon (yes, I'm metro) and while I was talking to the girl taking care of me I asked her about whether the capital of VietNam was either Hanoi or Saigon. Trying to keep the conversation going. She shook her head when I mentioned Hanoi and emphatically responded with Saigon. Then she began talking with other employees in Vietnamese and next thing I know they're gathered around her. While I don't understand the language, I did pick up the words, Hanoi, Saigon, and Ho Chi Minh. It's not like they appeared angry or anything but I sorta perceived they might've been making fun of me among themselves. So for my question, was the question I asked considered offensive or rude or whatnot among the Vietnamese population? And second, just out of curiosity, what could they've been saying about me?

This is a complex subject, but what do you think are some of the reasons for the crimes.I have no real answers but I have thoughts. 1.Guns can easily be imported in containers 2.Kids can divorce themselves from the reality of their actions due to things like computer games e.g.Grand Theft Auto 3. Parents do not spend enough time or instill enough moral value in their children for various reasons. I am sure their are other things so what do you think

Tried something like this over on the UK SC and got some............interesting answers. Directed to the northern states. As a trucker and cruiser (car) I've only missed AK, ME, NH and VT. Never had a problem with any of the northern states. Anybody feel like the Civil War (War of Northern Aggression :) ) is still goin on?

I read over on the USA board that Seniors was a little shy of questions over here, so popped in to ask one.
A lot of Americans I know consider GB as the mother country. We might squabble and carry on a bit, but we'll usually side with you when the going gets rough.

when others say..."I wish you weren't gay!" As if, you'd love to 'be with' that person, but that person is gay.

Recently I saw a question about whether Jordan should leave town because her baby is ginger. My question is why do red-heads get so much unjustified ridicule. We've all heard the ginger jokes.

Personally I think a guy with flaming red hair is dead-sexy especially if he has matching pubes.

Why do americans don't like to listen to music they dont understand?..because many people form other foreign countries listen to music in ENGLISH yes in english and they still like it plus they don't understand a word what english songs say...Why are americans so self-centered and never listen to the other wonderful music out there, and it doesn't have to be in english but in spanish, french, italian, portuguese.
Many latinamerican groups try to crossover but they can't beacuse americans don't like foreign language music, whic to make it in the U.S music market they forcely have to sing in english...could this mexican pop group be successul in the american market?...would americans accept them?...is it the type of music americans listen to?..SERIOUSLY MANY GROUPS TRY TO CROSSOVER..could this mexican pop group be a success?
