Other - Cultures & Groups - June 2006

Why? I am not trying to be rude but why do A LOT of woman like to lie when they are asked where they are from?

You ask them " What nationality are you from?"

Then they tell you " Oh I am a mutt I am 1/2 chineese, 1/3 italian, 1/5 German , 1/8 French, 1/3 Portuguese, 1/2 Chiwawa and part German Sheperd"

It's silly they mention every country in the world and the most annoying part is when they finish naming half the world they finish it off all the time by saying :

"Oh yeh I'm also part native American "Cherokee"!

Then I ask them oh which family member is french or whatever and they always say oh my grandma or great grandma that they know nothing about.

I find this highly annoying.....I asked a simple question where you were from and NOT for you to trace your blood origins.

I mean I am from Central America ( El Salvador) I am light skinned with light hair. Where people ask me where I am from I DONT say

"oh I am part Mayan Indian and 1/2 Spanish."

I am half black and half white. Growing up (in the 70's) I was called every name you can think of and then some. When people would ask me "what I was" (Mrrrr), I would tell them mulatto, and some would say, "You call yourself that?"
If anyone else is half black and half white I would love to hear your stories of name-calling and how you dealt with it.

In general, if a guy is often quiet and calm and does not joke around, and looks serious, and do not play around with you girls what do you think of him.

Do you consider clubs such as the Hells Angels, Outlaws, Banditos, Pagans, Mongols, Vagos, Sons of Silence, El Foresteros, etc to be gangsters on motorcycles? Thugs? Cool dudes? What?

I just saw a picture of LaToya Jackson and she looked just like Michael: "White", with a ridiculously thin nose, thin lips etc. They could just as well go around with a big sign saying "Black is bad, white is good". Isn't this offensive to black people? I'm from Denmark, that's why I'm ignorant.

On the "DBMS" they are always talking about how on the show friends there are no black friends. When I hear them talking about this I just want to call and point out that:
1st of all this is a show that started to draw veiwers to CBS and away for FOX's "Living Single" which is a show about black friends and roomates. So it was a show about white friends
2nd of all the show did not act like black people of people of other races did not exist, the had guest stars of all races on the show.
3rd of all I think back to shows like "Martin" where it started off with one white guy who played a stupid stoner and later on Martin Lawrence but on make-up to play the white guy who was nothing but a "RUNNING" stereotype from the way he dressed, talked, and danced. And I think that we as a black people would have a fit if this happened on a "white show" but on a "black show" it is very funny.Than we turn around and have something to say about not have a a "black friend" Is it just to complain?

For as long as I can remember in television and movies, people from the southern part of the United States have been shown in a very negative light. They are portrayed as beer-guzzling, wife-beating, slow talking, imbred and ill educated people. Being from the south (Texas) I find it very degrading and insulting to see these over elaborated images and characters. I mean, my parents are not kin, I have never dated one of my relatives, I have all my teeth, wear shoes, do not have 8 dirty kids running around my trailer or know anyone by the name of Billy Bob or Emma Jean. Where did all of these myths about southern people originate?

What do you think about American CULTURE or the GENERAL population?? (not about individuals)


I've heard remarks like: self absorbed, selfish, spoiled, arrogant, cruel, greedy, mean, and not hospitable..from friends and acquaintances who have recently immigrated or have had contact with American citizens..How close are these remarks to the sentiments in your country??

Not looking for answers from American citizens..unless you are an ex-patriot..

(Does anyone remember that American citizens donate the most to world charities?)

Well do they?

I'm from New York and it's pretty liberal down here, but I'm not sure New York counts for the rest of the world (or the Yahoo! World in this case) so what's your answer?

And please don't leave a scathing remark listing all the reasons why Asian guys stink, lol, no need we all know em unless you're an expert of course.

And don't bring up the penis issue because that's greatly exaggerated, I'll vouch for that :)

Shoot away :P

I know there are such groups for military spouses, etc, who don't get to see their honeys often, but I've looked and haven't found anything for families of offshores oil rig workers, boat captains, etc, who are kept from their families on a regular basis b/c of work.
