Why are they seen as a "superior"race when it comes to other minorities? I don't think any one race is superior to others,but from what i notice,people seem to have alot of resentment against them,especially blacks,or other minorities.

Yes, there have been a few groups, and a lot of individuals who have used it, and abused it, as a symbol of their bigotry and hatred. But, what does it really represent in American history and the heritage of the South?

It is one thing to be proud of one's heritage, and another thing to shun and disdain the heritage of another man's race. But there is so much gray space, so many cultural and social boundaries and standards that the difference is rarely ever defined and certainly never pointed out if it is seen. Has ethnic sensitivity on all ends of the spectrum blinded us to eccentric individuals who use their ancestral histories and their heritage either as an excuse to avoid their mistakes and flaws as an individual, or as a tool to push away and shun all those who aren't their own race because of thier own personal prejudice while they pretend to fight for equality and/or righteousness? Or has political correctness just numbed us to these social injustices? How do u differentiate between pride and double standards? And why is everyone afraid to point it out? And if you are not, how do you go about doing it, and what is your response to those that attempt to reprimand and chastise you for doing so?

Don't get me wrong. I know that there are some Americans who DO fit that description. However, there are also plenty of us who DON'T fit that description. I'm one of them, as a matter of fact. For one thing, I've ALWAYS hated Bush. (In fact, he didn't even win the majority of the popular vote in 2000.) I also enjoy learning about other cultures and other parts of the world. (I'm multilingual, as a matter of fact.) Although there may be some Americans out there who are ignorant brutes who think that their country is the center of the universe, please remember that not all of us are like that.

OK, I have tried to ask a perfectly civil and respectful question. But apparently I always word it wrong. Firstly I said 'Jewish people' and my teacher suggested using 'Jewish persona' I then got called ignorant, so I researched it further and found that the 'Jewish Nation' was supposed to be more PC now that is apparently wrong and they should be classed as the 'Jewish religion'?? If anyone could help me out here that would be great, then maybe some people might want to answer the question instead of having a go at me for wording it wrong and being ignorant?? I can't beleive that everyone is getting so hung up on this. My grandmother found out she was Jewish when she was 30 because she was adopted, but I can't seem to get an answer about any Jewish subject matter without being classed as ignorant or a nutter? I am finding this very sad and frustrating??

Feet are probably the most unpleasant part of the human body and the most neglected. People have a peculiar relationship with their feet and this is interesting. Considering the unpleasant appearance and the odor generally associated with feet, why do people feel the need to remove their shoes/socks and be barefoot around the house?

i have often heard of americans classifying aussies as 'convicts'. are they really that naive about australia? i've also seen comments on here that refer to australia as being a 'dirty' country. are they not taught australian history in schools over there as we are taught about history of their country? i get the distinct impression that americans in general have a much lower rate of intelligence than aussies. they think we have kangaroos jumping down every main street. is that the impression we give them? or are they simply just not interested in truly educating themselves about aussies and their culture? i often have to laugh at the lack of knowledge they possess

I am Danish American, My wife is Italian American and our friends run from Latvian American to Canadian American. Each of our skin hues and pigments are different, our religious beliefs are different and our heritage activities are based upon our forefathers traditions. How then can we be unceremoniously lumped into one racist category?
