Is it offensive to refer to Jewish people as "Jews"? Ive heard a lot of people use it but I always felt like it might be offensive. Anyone know?

yeah, i live in a predomonitnely white town. most of my friends are white and the black friends i do have(my best friend is black) are also mostly friends with white people. people are ALWAYS telling my that i act white. it hurts more than anybody might think it does. i don't understand why. most of my friends are white yeah, but my 2 BEST friends are black. is it because i speak proper english. because i don't wear enyce and baby phat? because i don't listen to a lot of rap music? is that it?
because i believe that to be completely unfair. i know more about the history of my people then my accusers would dream to know. i chose to wear my hair in a natural style instead of getting it pressed like a white girl's. i want to escape the negative stereotyping instead of succumb to it. i'm just the way i am and why do people have such a problem with that?

I have seen so many derogatory comments made particularly over the past week asking some question about why Blacks do this, or why they do that.. and to be honest I am now beginning to believe that either there has been an infiltration of people onto this site from the Stormfront and VanGuard white extremist websites; that people are just trying to stoke up more racial animosity or that this website simply condones discriminatory comments...

I've seen multiple posts about the Caucasian people and how terrable they treat every race on the face of the earth. Why? Are Caucasians the only people who are racist?

I see funny answers on here and everyone calls them names and gives the thumbs down. I understand why hateful comments are treated that way, but why do comments with a bit of levity get treated that way? Is this just a sad sour group of people or doesn’t anyone have a sense of humor anymore? Ha - ha, now I bet I’ll get nothing but hate messages… which will prove my point.

I mean we pretty much come from the same ancestors, on what essential cultural traits did we change?

I am Moroccan and Norwegian and whenever I'm in the cold I am very light skinned, but when it gets sunny or warm I am back to my tanned skin color. Why is this?

i think southern europeans, latinos definitely have the perfect skin color, its naturally tanned and healthy looking, east asians also have nice creamy colored skin and has this particularly soft looking quality.
i think other races are either too pale or sickly or too dark.

I ask plenty of questions about race, I dont want you to call me names, I know I am a racist because of my life experiences. I want to know why has the black race been {and still being} hated by you white folk? We have the scared history with you, not vice versa.

Why do muslims say it's ok to kill someone just because of their religion? Why can't we just live in peace? There are over 1,000,000 religions in the world, and there is no proof that there is even ONE deity... so, why is religion so important in today's society?

i meet a lot of people when i go out and have noticed that almost everyone ends up talking about the same usual topics! not that the conversation isn't interesting, but variety is good! what are some of your conversation starters and what do you love to talk about the most?
i guess i'm trying to see if it is the same in most places.

Damn were they kidnapped? Bombed? Raped? Forced into slavery? Seconed class citizens on stoled land. Observing history, do whites have a right to hate anyone or any thing except their history.

Mosques should make men sit in the back behind a curtain as a punishment for being so weak

Instead females are punished for being stronger than the perverted males by havinging to sit in the back behind a curtain ......."Can any one say backwards society/religion"???

Can you believe that some mosques make women&males go through separate entrances .....I bet you are wondering who uses the back door and if you guessed women than you are absolutely right Women are crazy to allow this treatment to continue

Males need to sit in the back behind the curtain so they don't have to fight their weakness of a women ..............Until they (THE SAVAGE MALES) grow up at least??

Why do some people try to compair cracker to the n-word?I think that calling caucasian people a cracker is wrong but there is such a long history of the n-word.When black people are called the n-word by a white person It reminds them of slavery and how our ancesters were treated.(when blacks call blacks that,I think It's almost equally as wrong,It's stupid that some black folks do that)Calling white people a cracker is just a metaphor.I agree that both are hurtful but just think where the two words come from.

Not being racist, just curious. Does the term "African American" refer to people with dark skin, or black skin, or is it based on people from or have roots in Africa in some way, shape or form? Or is the term more social, as in, a way to describe a group of people? The same can be said about any societal racial group, and with a similar scenario such as a white person being born in China. Does that make him Chinese or Asian? Perhaps, then, it depends on ancestory?

What do you think of it? Are you overworked or do you think you have enough leisure time? Are we workaholics or driven by the structure to be such?
