I am French, I am going to live in New Zealand. This is not a question, I just wanted to express my love for my future country and to say hello to every New Zealander who will be reading me. I am fond of your islands, my god, you are so lucky to live in such a beautiful land!!! Is there anyone who lives in Wellington (the place I am gonna be)?

I've been around so many polynesian's and to my knowledge I think that they are awsome people. I mean, all the islanders. Wow!!! I don't even know anyone like them that has a big heart and so generouse to others. They put others before they put themselves first. But what so deep about it is that, they put God first. Now thats deep. Whats your opinion's on Polynesians?

I don't know, how can being racist towards other people help? If I got rid of all my friends of another race, I would be lonely. If I came out and said racist things towards people I would get beat up. If I spread racism, how would I have time to do things I like? I would also have to have the race I hate constantly on my mind, either consciously or unconsciously. Everytime I go somewhere I have to make sure the race I hate is not invovled. Seems like racist people, whatever color you are, are like a bird in a cage.

Am I missing a point? Are there REAL benefits to being racist? Would being racist help out ALL communities? Would it make me feel bettter about myself even though it shows that I am actually insecure about myself, thus putting down others based on race? Would being racist actually put more money in my pocket, give me better health, make me a hero, cure the sick, give me special powers?

Am I missing out on something?

I'm a 25 year old male in Britain who has just moved to a new town. I don't know anyone in the area so I thought I would join a club of some sort, or an evening class, or something which allows me to meet people who are mainly my age. Trouble is I can't think of what interests me. Any ideas of what I could join? This means a lot to me so I would really appreciate all of your help! Thanks!!

Just a question out of complete curiosity aimed at (White) couples who've adopted Asian kids.

Why do you think this is a fairly common combo?
I don't know about elsewhere, but in large cities, you see it quite often.

Ideally, I feel ALL kids who need to be adopted should be considered, but that's not the real world, is it?

Done something mean to you. Say if all the Jews someone knows is always selfish towards them? Or if all the black people a person knows is dishonest to them? Or if a Muslim is really a foe, not a friend. Or if a Mexican lies to you? I am not racist. But would be considered racist? Is it wrong to hate a race or relgion if you have personal things they have done to you?

Today at work a co-worker said, "Im not Caucasian, I'm Italian.", when the term was used in a convo. I was raised and teach my young students not to refer to people by colors. If you don't know if someone is Chinese, or Japanese you refer to them as Asian, and whatever you do don't call an African American 'colored'!

My friend recently became a proud father.
However his son is clearly African looking.
I don't know whether he is in a state of denial, or that
he genuinally doesn't know that the son isn't his.
I'm pretty torn up about how to break this news to him as he is so happy and proud. Any suggestions about how I go about doing it, in order not to cause too greater pain.

Note: The mother is of Swedish extraction, the father is of Irish-Italian extraction, neither looks in the slightest African.
Both parents have straight hair and blue eyes.
The child has brown eyes, fuzzy hair and tanned skin.

I have a lot of friends that are in black fraternities and sororities and they keep telling me that if they like me it doesn't matter what color I am. I just want other opinions from people in predominately black fraternities and sororities.
