I want to know what is the most polite way to ask someone what there nationality/heritage/culture/background is without sounding ignorant. Say, if you just met someone and know they are not Caucasian or African American, how is the best way to ask what they are without offending anyone? Please don't say "why does it matter", I think it matters because it is part of getting to know someone better and I think it is very interesting to meet and learn about people who are different than me.

A recent question asked what are the 3 biggest problems for mankind and which individual was doing most to resolve them.

Problems were: Environmental destruction, Poverty and Hate.

From the answers, no one person struck me as Iconic in this respect. So, if we had to, which single organisation would we give our allegiance to, assuming the above problems are the biggest?

Lots of questions here. 1) A recent survey suggests that for the first time more English people feel English rather than British. What's the difference? 2) Or was 'Britishness' (whatever that is - received pronunciation, 'stiff-upper lip', queuing, etc.??) was this actually '(southern?') Englishness'? 3) More importantly, does it matter to anyone if we calll ourselves English, Scottish, Cornish, etc.? 4) Anyone, that is, apart from the governent, which appears to think that talking about "British values" is a way of stopping Scottish referendums on independence and Islamist terrorism, and something that should be 'taught' in schools: is the government wrong? Aren't 'values' supposed to occur 'naturally' within a people? Can they be 'taught'? 5) The government claims that - in part - British values are those that, say, English people have in common with, say, Scottish people. Which ones are they, and which ones don't we share? Thanks for reading this. Thoughtful answers only, please

Not meaning to be offensive, but being from Eastern Asia (Korea) I find it very annoying when Indian people say they are Asian, just because they are located near Asia it does not mean that they are Asian. If this was a reason then does that mean Russians are Asian since the country is near China? No. Indians have totally different traditions and their body features/figures are completely different+ other countries which are Asian do not worship the cow. Indians have different foods aswell, i have seen no noodles in the indian diet, prob onli rice. I know many other Asians (excl. indians) agree with me, do you

I always hear phrases like "diversity is great" or "our diversity is our strength", but I have never heard anyone actually give any tangible benefits of diversity. However, I can list dozens, if not hundreds of ways diversity harms our societies and I have all the statistics and all of human history to back up my claims. These include an increase in crime rates, greater balkanization, an increase in government welfare and social spending, an increase in taxes to pay for the welfare and social programs, a less civilized and unified culture, and a decrease in education standards, just to name a few.

So, if diversity is so wonderful, then what are it's tangible benefits that will compensate for it's great costs? Other than better food, I can't think of any, and I have never heard anyone be able to list any.

For example: I have never owned a slave and no black person alive has ever been a slave, so why do they get special treatment? Do minorities want to be equal, or better than white people?

When they turn their kids heads away from looking at me I get upset..I wanna let all those poor Amish kids free to live a real life. A life of choice and freedom to wear a black t-shirt. I don't like the fact that if they leave they are shunned and can't come back to visit their familys. That isn't love and support. That is just plain mean...I am sad for them..anyone agree? ...oh and I want to let their horses free to they over work them. I avoid hitting them on the road and I am more worried about the horses than the people...

whenever people from one area migrates to other area the social fabric of that area started changing. The racism is the attribute of social change. if some one from one country comes to ur country and once the native of that country started filling that his/her job is going to be snatched by the migrant the social tension takes place.The people of the native country then starts harrasing the migrant by saying remarks that r slang in nature. This phenomena is not only limited in case of migration outside the country this is very much prevalent within the country also. In a country where inter regional disparity exists the people from lowly developrd regions migrate to well developed regions and these migrants have to face the harsh reality of discrimination. so even in the era of global village whenever it comes to survival the basic instinct of human nature prevails. So what i think the solution of this perrenial problem lies in eqality.

This strikes me as dumb, because emo and depression arent the same damn thing! Emo is a fad, depression is a disorder, I hate to know that anyone who suffers from depression is put under the category of being emo. And all these stupid kids who think its fun to cut themselves, GROW UP Stop craving attention, you make me sick! These kids think their lives are so bad, yet they have a roof over their head and food in their stomachs. Nothing anoys me more than some emo kid who hates their life, well you know what? unless you're out in the damn street searching for food, you dont have a reason to hate your life. I get so tired of these stupid cultures, emo is by far the worst. from the music to the self mutilation. You know what? alot of people do that who suffer from depression does that make them emo? Stop putting emo and depression in the same category its stupid.
I cant wait till this whole fad dies, fads are stupid anyways
