Other - Cultures & Groups - August 2006

I read an article saying blacks thins SATs are a biased test. WTF? How are math and english culturally biased? You either learned or didn't. Isn't adding points to a score because one is a minority so they can getting in a school the equivlant of saying, "Hey you played shitty ball in High School, so we will put you on a pro team and you will play better."? And if it is culturally biased why can i get a kid from Korea or Sweeden that dont even speak english as a first language that would blow most American scores out of the water? Please no "blacks are stupid" responses I want real reasons as to how this arguement has any credence.

My brother recently obtained a white house fellowship. If you read my last question, you saw that he will have the opportunity to ask President Bush just one question. I spoke to him last night, and he will also be able to ask Condileeza Rice a question, as well as Don Rumsfeld. It was so interesting to see the responses last time, I thought we'd try it again!

This is supposed to be an exercise in getting out in the world & meeting people in order to improve my dismal social life a bit. I don't mind what sort of club it is as long as it's not too sporty. Other than that I'm pretty much game for ANYTHING!! In case it helps; I'm 35, studying Humanities in South-East London & pretty laid back about most things, I'd describe myself as bi & can be a bit kinky in the right situation (but only on days with a sunrise AND a sunset in them!!) So then anyone got any ideas for me?

I think that there are other ethnicities and nationalities that look better than Brazialians. I think East African, West African, South Asian, and Carribean women are better looking than some of the "Braizialian bombshells" like Giselle Buduchen(I think Giselle looks too white and nordic for my taste).

I was standing in line at the gas station in the relatively small town my parents live in and this cowboy comes in and cuts infront of everyone waiting and starts in on the guy of apparent Indian descent working the counter about how to pay for his gas. After fumbling out some words about how he can't manage to work the pump and 'where do I pay?' and 'do I have to come back inside to get change?' He then walks away, turns to us as he's doing so and says ''Press 1 for english'' and starts laughing like a redneck idiot. The worst is that the cashier spoke perfect english and the cowboy was about as eloquent as a gorilla. Anyway, those of us in line exchanged a confused glance and said sorry to the cashier but man I wish I could have said something to that guy. Have you ever had something like that happen when you managed to say something witty that put them in their place?

A lot of the Latinos have been waving their flags in Black peoples faces(around where I live) and telling some of us that "Latinos do it better" What do you do better? No race or person is better than the last. Why do some of them have to brag about their culture to so many African Americans and then they put a lot of us down.

Does it really aggrivate you when people hear the word black all they think is: thug, gangsta, playa, drugs, etc.? It really makes me mad and its dissapointing too see our black people being looked down, and being called the "n" word. Its dissapointing to see black people on the streets doing things that they shouldn't be doing. Just tell me what you think, this has been on my mind for a while Holla At Me
