Lots of Indians stay in UK and many arecitizens of UK, they say even though they are in UK there Heart is in India, but when it comes to relocation to India, they go 100% against it. Are they patriotic. Reason they give is Indians infrastructure and Indians attitude is not good. If so why u want to point to India and say I am Indian when it come to attitude why u people want to point and say "You Indians" "Your Countries infrastructure" "Your country politics", whats the meaning of you, so u mean to say you are not Indian. If u don’t like India or Indian do speak, better u tell I am a British, and I hate to be Indian. Don’t even try to hurt a Indian or make him feel bad.

Hello! But why do so many people believe this Portugese newspaper that Gwyneth Paltrow made anti-American remarks? And all those so-called American's who now claim to hate her and refuse to pay to see any of her movies should reconsider their American citizenship. As an American, you're allowed Freedom of speech--so if she did say that, then that is her opinion. But I do not believe it because we didn't HEAR her make this comment plus she denied it--if she really said it, the newsppaer would be able to prove it after she claimed she didn't say it. They would have recorded it; true? And let's face it--the British definitly do have a better education program than the American's. Sad, but true.

This is something I have always found interesting- every time I have been at a party or some other type of function and have been introduced to whites, the conversation soon turns to some completely random black person that they have met or known at some point in their lives. The conversation can be about the amount of rain in northern Germany, or some other topic COMPLETELY unrelated to the black people that they may just happen to know, and then BANG- all of a sudden they begin to go on and on about some cool, funny, smart, sweet black person that they may have recently met or known at some point in their lives, and how this person was like a brother or sister to them (usually a best friend). Do whites generally feel uncomfortable when mingling with blacks and therefore have an urge to "prove" that they are not racist by mentioning other black people that they know?

I'm 17 years old and when adults have a conversation or when I engage in socratic dialogues/debates, they become big-eyed, their mouths drop to the floor like they won a million dollar. Why is this? Teens are smart too..

Do you think that one day racism will grow to the point of segregation or the limitation of rights again? I feel like just in the past few years the racism around me is QUICKLY growing. I'm talking on a long term scale too.

My family came from England but I would be offended if I was referred to as English American because I am American, Proud to be American and only American!! All Americans are from other countries and should, in my opinion,refer to themselves as Americans. The only exception should be someone who was born in another country and later became an American citizen. If that person was born in Africa for example, then they would be African American.

I had a situation arise today while trying to go over employee issues with my employee. I'm white and she is black. No big deal, right?

After going over some things that needed to change in her job description, she got very defensive and the conference started to go downhill from then on. When I tried to point out the issue of the amount of time she had taken off for funerals (6 days), she got defensive and said, "I don't know how you people do it, but we do it differently?" I was sort of stunned.

I asked her, "Do you mean 'you people' as in white? She said, Yes, I mean white people. Us black people do it differently.

I then followed up and said this wasn't about a black-white issue. It was about an employer/employee issue.

Why is it when I tried pointing out the issue she had to bring in race as part of the problem?

It was so out-of-left field that it really bewildered me. I wasn't even thinking about things in that way, but yet it ended up that way. Duh
