How come we all have to put in our opinion, even when we know it won't make a difference?
When I ever here someone blatently talking about something that disagrees with my views, I always want to preach to them, but I never do. Online sometimes I'll practically write an essay when someones saying their gay son is the son of the devil, or that evolution means that monkeys gave birth to a people (if you don't know what it is how can not you say for certain it isn't real?), but I wonder why any of us bother, and I mean on both sides of the spectrum. Just because I curse a person out because I think they're ignorant doesn't mean they're going to change their mind suddenly. You don't see christians or atheists all of the sudden being like "oooo okay now I get it." So I guess my question is why do we insist on debating issues in which we know the other person will not change their mind?

Why are people so racist to me?

People will be like to me " Go back to your own country you f u c k i n g mexican" or even " go back wilth Osama Bin Laden and destroy America". I hear racist comments about me every day. Few people believes me about it. I am not a Mexican. I am from India. I see this hatred every day at school. Recently some asshole walked up to me and was like" where is your green card I want to see it" and got the whole class into it want to see a green card. I was born in America. People ask me if I am American and i will say "yes" and then they will say" No you aren't you don't look like one" What can I do? It is getting really bad. I live in a small Hell hole town which probably is why I am getting treated like this

Are Italians white?

I'm italian with olive skin, dark hair and eyes. I know that Italy is in Europe but I just don't see how Italians can be perceived as "white". I have heard that Italians are mixed because of an invasion in Italy many years ago. So are Italians white?

What is the difference between the black panthers and the white supremacists of today?

I feel they are the same black pathers held there fists up and yelled black power. White supremacists do the same but with their hand open yelling white power. Both groups are for their own race to be united as one to fight against the other races. Am i Wrong? If so
explain the difference.
