This is a general question, answer how you please... but to help out those who don't quite know how to answer, what stereotypes (if any) do you have about Americans? Negative or positive?

I'm so sick of seeing such rubbish on here about sensitive men being gay or any man who watches his weight or looks after his appearance isn't manly enough. To me my husband is manly because he supports his family, puts in the hours at work, admits when he needs help and is confident enough to cry without thinking less of himself. He cooks, has no problem changing the baby and is just so comfortable and confident in himself. He accepts his responsibilities and doesn't try to run from them and stays standing after every trial life throws at him. He loves shopping, interior design, chick flicks (he always cries lol) and most of his friends are female. I'd say he's more of a man than most macho gorillas who reason with their fists. I'm curious about what views others might have on this though. What makes a man?

The same thing can be said for people who use the word "gay" in this way.

I lean more towards the idea that they are intentionally being crass (many know this is a button-pusher for a lot of people), as I have heard this from people of all walks of life- most who claim to be intelligent and enlightened.

Your thoughts or experiences?

Its really starting to irritate me. Carlos Mencia can get up on stage and mock white people, and people think its funny, but if it was a white person making fun of mexicans, they'd get lynched. I've walked into resturants and been told to my face that I won't be served because I'm white. If I told a black person I wouldn't serve them because they were black, I'd get killed, but vice versa is perfectly acceptable. Why is black pride something thats wonderful, but white pride is racist? Why is there a 'United *****'s college fund", but not a "united caucasion college fund'? There are poor white people too! Why should companies have to, by law, hire a black canditate thats equally qualified with a white candidate, just because he's black? Or a college have to accept a rich minority applicant over a poor white one? In my lifetime, I've seen much more racism directed towards white people then vice versa. Why is this okay? How is affirimative action not racist?

The Ashkenazi Jews claim to have come up from Palestine to Eastern Europe. Is this true? Are the direct descendents of the European Jews the original bible Jews? Or did the Jews integrate with the local population so much that they are basically identical? Or are the Ashkenazis actually the descendents of the warlike Khazars?

Okay my friends is black and said she only likes black dudes. My other friend called it a prejudice preference to only date your own race. Yet, she is Indian from India and only dates light-skinned black dudes because she wants caramel babies. How is it wrong to say you only date within your race yet it is not wrong for some to say they only date outside their race?

The Ashkenazi Jews in Eastern Europe spoke Yiddish, a jewish derivitive of German. However, did they also speak the gentile language of the land they were living in? For example, did Jews living in Minsk, Belarus speak Yiddish AND russian or belarussian? Or were they isolated in speaking yiddish only?

One day I was (I thought politely) talking about the origins of Judaism on a forum. After posting, some people took issue to my referencing of Jews as "the Jews". Is it considered racist to put a "the" before "Jews"? Serious answers only, please.

From the rebirth of blaxploitation era movies and tv shows, to horrible rap "singers" (used very loosely), to the myriad of addled-pated athletes; Blacks always hold onto the worst notions about the race as a whole and do more damage to themselves than the KKK or neo-nazis ever could.

Ok, I'd just need you to give me an example of a culture that could be characterized as basically, nomads, that don't really use irrigation, no farming methods, that are nomads, something like that, and that they are currently being "switched" by other people of the more modern cultures; maybe taking over their simple ways of life and trying to change them. please, give me a link to see, I really appreciate your help to the maximum.

How come Cape Verdean people have to identify as African American in this country. i know they are from a country that is off the coast of africa and is it included in the african country. But 71% of Cape Verdeans are Creole/mulatto (half white and half black). They are not allowed to identify as white or other. does anyone else think that is not right?

Why is it that some of the biggest Black American celberites are all light-skinned? What is the media trying to say? It makes me mad when they try to light-face Halle Berry and Beyonce. I feel like they are trying to say that you can only be pretty unless you're light-skinned or mixed with white. If both of them were as dark as Wesley Snipes they wouldn't get any attention at all.

I've always found white women aged badly, usually overweight, rude, butch, and kinda gross. So when I moved to the west coast I was in heaven because there were many women there other then white women. I especially took a liking to Asian women cause of they were always in shape, sweet, cute, and aged really well. But in the west coast there are a lot of men who like Asian women and very few Asian women, Is there enough Asian women to go around?

Would you be so kind as to explain (to a foreigner) how it is that you bring up your children?Do you ever punish your children?
Do you ever spank them?
What is it that makes Indian children so charming and easy to deal with?
I hope I am not being too naive. Please let me know if I am being too naive.

What is it that Indian children are busy with during school years.
Do they work hard on their future?


What would you say makes Indian children special?

Is there anything you would like to say about this
question of young people? Please.

What do you consider the most important thing about your relationship with your children? What do you work on the most?

With thanks to you for your time and attention
