I am not advocating superiority or anything, but the facts are that english has emerged as the universal language . I mean people , let us say, in France can continue to speak French for as long as they want but in say 100 years, will it be remembered much?
especially since E.U. has caused more of a "melting pot" in Europe and U.K.?

Gangs, those stupid gangs, why do they exist? Well because people want to feel like God, they want to have respect and power even if they have to force it onto us. Yet we see a lot of people joining gangs, and much of them are young ones. Why because most people don't think, they just follow. They want to be cool, in the crowd, can't they stop and think that what they're doing is very wrong. They kill, steal, and they contribute nothing to life. I wish for people to stop and think, it doesn't matter if your family members were gang members, turn your life around, go to school, get a job, and make a loving family, things will be so much better then. Porn, it will always be there, but you have the choice to no buy into it because it's immoral, God never wanted his children to be exposed like that. Music, all those artist who send bad messages don't listen to them. Lets stop and think, what is better for us, a confused and immoral lifstyle or a loving one.

Instead of focusing on blacks being slaves and 3/5 of a man based on history....look further (Moors, early civilization, and Egyptian history just to name a FEW). Why then is it that when one black American does something ignorant...all black Americans are categorized? If that is the "American" standard then...(i.e. all Caucasions are sociopaths, and all Hispanics are illegal). Is it fair?

Ashkenazi jews appear more similar to most europeans than they do to middle eastern arabs. However, most jews believe that they are descended from the Middle East. Are jews in northern europe "white" and of european origin, or are they really from the Middle East? Or is it a combo? and if so, how much of each?

For example, asians tend to group a lot more and more noticeably than any other ethnic groups. They very clearly exclude others from their circle of friends and tend to value more the friendship of people from their own ethnicity.... Why are they racist?

Y is it that most of the portuguese people that i have met only like to associate with themselves. Then when u try and have a conversation with them they are always talking about portugal. I have nothing wrong with them being from protugal, but its very annoying. For goodness sakes, we are in America, not Portugal. Also, they are rude, they interrupt conversations and what not. Some hispanics are the same way too. WHY???

Personally I love Asian women, I think there is something very special about them, I love the way they look physically and believe they have beautiful souls. But I hate when people say that men who love Asian women do so because they are submissive, docile, or don't stand up for themselves. I really don't understand this, why do people take Asian women with high morales, grace, and classiness and try to take it as a weakness. Women talk about being independent, strong, and progressive but I don't really see it. More and more when these days are having kids at younger ages and out of wedlock, where as you don't see that with Asian women. Asian women women also on average are higher paid then women of other races, and also have a higher percentage of getting of getting college degrees then any other race. Also look at the skyrocketing HIV and STD infections in women, its happening to all women except you guessed it Asian women. Look at the women you see in public that are extremely loud and cursing, and then look at the Asian who carry themselves with class and don't have to resort to using that gutter language. Look at the the women who need to wear revealing clothes to get attention, you rarely see this with Asian women. Look at the divorce rates, Asian women have the lowest divorce rates of any women. How can anyone honestly believe Asian women are submissive and docile when they are so much more successful, why would they even want to act like American women?

In all honesty which one sounds more independent and progressive?
Asian women
-On average are paid higher
-On average more likely to hold a college degree
-Less likely to have have children at a very young age
-Less likely to have children out of wedlock
-Less likely to catch Aids and STD's
-Lower divorce rate
-Doesn't have to resort to dressing reveling to get attention

or

American women
-On average paid less the Asian women
-Less likely to hold college degrees then Asian women
-More likely to have children out of wedlock
-More Likely to have children at a younger age
-More likely to catch Aids or STD
-Higher divorce rate
-more likely to wear revealing clothes

Now honestly who seems like the progressive and independent one, and which one seems like a train wreck?

The problem with American women is that they think being rude to men, being pro miscues, and basically having no morales or direction some how makes them free and independent. As for Asian women I hope they never become completely Americanized, I hope they keep their sweet, classy, and caring personalities. I want them to know there are tons of men out their who love them and don't believe the submissive/docile BS.
