I just read a story on the news about how children have been 'Demonised' by the press and the media and some woman from a childrens charity more or less saying that 'hoodies' and meeting up on the street are a normal part of growing up. I have never read so much hogwash in my entire life, she is more or less saying that the yob behaviour that have earned the majority of these people the tag of 'chav' or 'ned' is OK and that we are being unfair on them. Why can't these 'do goodie' idiots keep their woolly liberal thoughts to themselves instead of being part of government think tanks, I believe it is this sort of irresponsible attitude that is responsible for the rise in 'Yob Culture', no one dares tackle what is a serious problem, kids nowadays seem to think they can do as they please and no-one should dare stop them. The accident that claimed the life of the London toddler last week is a fair example of what happens when you let kids do what they like unchecked. Does anyone agree?

My boyfriend is white Polish, and I'm black girlfriend. My friends are black and he is the only one. When I took him to my house that my parents are feeling awkward because he is European, we have been together long time. I love his family and I learn about his culture in Poland. He is planning to take me to Poland and meet his cousin. Should I say yes or stay in America?

I've never seen a picture of them doing that in africa or in haiti..and I'm not trying to be rascist or anything, I don't care about any of that stuff. I'm just curious. Is it some sort of weird fashion statement? Or is there some actual utility to it?

example: i'm at the workplace speak to this person when she is around other females that probably don't like me either she don't speak but will speak to me when she is by herself and so do the same group she chit chat with they do the same thing they get together and show their dislike towards you but separate them they wanna be your friend then if you don't speak back they get even more pissed then the crazy think is if you confront them they deny everything and make it seems like its all you.

I have to admit that this question was spawned in my mind by the recent debates on illegal immigration and controversies with the overwhelming Hispanic culture here in the southwest US.
It seems that most older waves of immigrants went severely out of their way to quash the practice of their culture when they arrived here and rushed to assimilate as "Americans". Many refused to speak their language with their children and gave up celebrations and other distinct features and connections with their old country.
I'm half Irish and a few of my friends are of Italian, Egyptian and Greek heritage, yet our families could be interchangeable. Being so surrounded by the Mexican culture, we realize now we miss having a heritage and wish I could hear blaring Irish music, see Irish language billboards in my neighborhoods, whatever. Basically, I guess I'm really jealous of the Mexicans in this nation who have their cultural centers, tv stations, magazines, congressional delegation even.

If you don't then obviously I'm not talking to you. Hear me out before you start calling me a racist. Last Tuesday my school took the practice SAT's and afterwards this girl was complaining about the information part and how it said: White, African American, Asian American, Hispanic, and Native American. She thought that the part that said "White" was racist. And some white people are always complaining about Affirmative Action and politcal correctness, that stuff is designed for equality not racism. Can someone please explain to me (calmly) how you can call things like that out as racism?
