Do you think that some people assume that certain actions are racist, simply because they don't expect courtesy from other ethnicities?
For example: Someone of a differnt race that you don't know looks at you, and you assume that they see something negative and not positive.
What is your opinion?

No website seems to think it's politically correct to list these, but what are the characteristics of people from different European countries?

For example, Italians have dark hair and dark skin, but are there other less obvious characteristics? What about the other ethnicities? Scotish/Irish/English/Welch. French, Dutch, Slavic, Russian, Austrian, Greek? What are the easiest ways to differenciate between ethnic backgrounds.

My drivers license had expired, but I have pletty of ID's with my name, birth date and picture on them. They weren't going to let me fly home! And they must have thought this (then) 56 year old lady was going to blow up the plane because I had tooth paste in my purse. I was at Reagan Int'l airport early, and just barely made the plane because I was searched, held by the police, had air blown at me, shoes removed........horrible

I just can't believe that people are supporting 6 students ganging up on one student in the most cowardly fashion and beating him to almost death and continuing to beat him while he was unconscious. If these students are capable of such a horrible act with the certaintly of getting caught what do you think they are capable of in the streets at night. If tables were turned and 6 whites beat a black student do you think they would have been punished any less? I am also so sick of people saying this was a school yard rumble. This was a HATE crime purposely because the boy was white. I just can't believe it. The Jena 6 are complete cowards and obviously did not have the courage to take on a fight that is even. Just for being such disgraceful cowards they should go to jail for 20 years.

Here is a so called "non racist" rant by a racist in disguise.


I live in Bristol and there are thousands there, they stink (they must bath in curry or something) They dont brush their teeth, Have loads of kids and sponge off the government.
Its 100% true and we are paying for it, our taxes feed them.
Something has to be done.
This is NOT a racist rant its true facts


First of all he is racist because he ASSumes all Middle Easterners are on welfare and are Islamic. I am a Persian biologist who is secular; there is simply no proof of any religion, only proof of some historical characters....... take all religious texts with a grain of salt

When did you begin becoming anti-American and why? And what makes you so arrogantly sure that you know Americans enough to hate them? George Bush as president isn't enough to use as an excuse either. I mean your real underlying reasons for hating the USA and Americans.

In Bavaria, there is talk about putting an expiration date on marriage. The woman pushing it wants marriages to last only 7 years. After that time, the couples should either agree to extend their marriage or it should be automatically dissolved.

Where do these people come from?

I was the one that got away because someone wouldn't commit. At the time I was hurt, but in the end it was the biggest favor anyone ever did for me. I was able to marry the one I am in love with.

Why are people pointing fingers at people from other races for being discriminatory? Me, i wonder.
People are discriminatory within their own race, so why don't we all tackle that first?
Did you know that:
American-Hispanic (born in US) do not respect immigrant Hispanics?
Dark skinned Jews who stayed back in Ethiopia generations ago are not respected by "white" Jews?
African-Americans do not respect African immigrants?
The list goes on and on.
Caucasians are a little bit different in this respect. Whites treat other whites differently, so long us they are poor.

Yet, minorities are screaming our heads off about discrimination. How do you stand up for your RACE when you don't treat your fellows with respect?
It isn't off for people of the same race to fight for the same goal but you don't call for equality when you treat NOBODY equal within your own race.
U will be judged base on how your sell yourself out there.
Let's respect each other as HUMAN BEINGS. Any take on that?

i broke up with my bf a few months ago because i heard he cheated but i had no way of knowing if he really did. so , i broke up with him for about a week and then got back because, even if he did cheat i still forgave him. When i spoke to him that week he said that my other friend had introduced him to a girl he knew so that he could go out with her (but they didn't). this new girl and my bf talked and became very close friends. she's a very nice girl, but i just don't like him talking to her. (especailly not at 11 at night!) she likes him and a few other boys, which really ******** ticks me off.

i find myself getting really jealous of her because she's pretty and also very nice. I could of prevented this if i would of just kept my mouth shut. i cant take this any more!lol what should i do?

im black and i live in a mixed neighborhood and i have lots of white friends but like all of them date white/asian girls. i never really thought about it until one of my good friends told me he'd never date a black girl cuz 'most white guys arent attracted to them'. i mean i guess i kind of always thought that but its different to actually hear a person say it. i dunno most of the guys i date are hispanic or black so its no big deal to me. just curious is all.
