Other - Cultures & Groups - January 2007

I'm in LA and I saw this cute black girl, so I told my cousin that "ese negra estaba muy bonita" (that that black girl was realy pretty), some black guy heard me, and got all mad at me because I was calling the girl black, how he knew the word in spanish I have no idea
I really didnt know how to react...because...well I did call her black, but, so? she IS black, I'm white (grandparents descent) but when I called a girl morena in mexico (word for dark skin) she didnt mind at all, and when I'm called "güero" (word for ligh skinned) I had never really minded....please take in consideration I'm new and just visiting my cousin here so....I want to know the rules

If you are a black girl would you date an attractive Hispanic male?

I'm in public relations and I'm basically very good at what I do: writing and media relations. I'm a reliable workhorse. But creativity and "brainstorming" are part of my job also. I can come up with creative ideas when I'm alone and have time to think (I'm an introvert), but if I'm in a meeting with others, it's like I can't think! Everyone else can come up with a ton of ideas on the spot, but I throw out maybe one or two. When I do come up with an idea, half the time, the VP makes a face, critiques the idea or looks at the prez as if to say, "Should I waste my time even writing that idea down?" I feel so inadequate by comparison and intimidated. What do I do? Am I doomed to never go past the Account Supervisor level? I'm afraid to go to another agency, for fear things could be even worse there! Things are bad where I am now, but the turnover is low. I think I could stay as long as I get along with the VP. How do I grow professionally? How do I learn to brainstorm successfully?

i can tell traditional music from different european countries apart, but I cant seem to figure out what properties they have that give the melodies their distinct sound. I looked for a scale by studying the notes, but I just got a regular scale.

do u think its the environment they grow up in,from their own experience(maybe they got beat up by someone not of their race)do it to get friends(racist groups always look for the weak and be really nice to them) or just are because they have a brain defect


to me the environment isnt an excuse for anything,u can think for urself

What race would you be if you had a choice...?
Just a question randomly asked by me
I'm not racist
I love all the race's culture and its just fantastic but what would you do if you have to be any other one if you had a choice
would you change?
Or just stay?

There is a joke, I hope you will not be ofended:

A Hispanic man walks into a cafe one early morning and noticed that he was the only Hispanic man there. As he sat down, he noticed a white man behind him.The white man said, "Colored people are not allowed here."
The Hispanic man turned around and stood up.He then said:

"listen Pendejo....when i was born, i was BROWN, "
"When i grew up, i was BROWN, "
"When i'm sick, i'm BROWN, "
"When i go in the sun, i'm BROWN, "
"When I'm cold, i'm BROWN, "
"When i die, i'll be BROWN."
But you pendejo...."
"When you're born, you're pink, "
"When you grow up, you're white, "
"When you're sick, you're green, "
"When you go in the sun, you turn red, "
"When you're cold, you turn blue, "
"And when you die, you turn purple."
"And you have the nerve to call me colored?"


This makes me think that maybe I´m not a white girl and that I´m lucky because many colors are always better and more fun than only one

It seems logical that in the future all of the races will mix unless society forces races apart, but since they don't is their anything preventing all of society from fusing into one race in the future?
