A professor at our university is going to give a test on eating cow eyes, based on diplomatic traditions. But he is the only source of information about this custom. Is it true?

I'm German, and I told people I am, and people were like "Nazi!" It annoys me when that is the first thing people think of when they hear German. What's funny is that one of my friends is Jewish, and I was friends with an Israeli Jew.

I am white and caucasian yet they consider me a so called mud. They ban me for actually saying what they really think of people part Palestinian. They would deport me and break up my relationship although me and my boyfriend look the same for their so called purity myth. I think its time their so called purity is bred out of them. Blacks and Aborigines should breed with most white nationalists and most Israelis. Blacks and Aborigines are stupid compared to Palestinians so we can easily defeat them.This will make Palestinians safe worldwide. Hail Palestine!

Some of the British members of Yahoo Answers keep talking about her and how they hate her. Who is she? Is she a bad person or something? I'm just a curious American.

Seriously...Next time you see a Vegetarian "protest" of any sort note how many people have leather shoes, belts, wallets, purses, coats, etc....
Are they that hypocritical or just that dumb? Perhaps the cows are so grateful to them for not eating meat they surrender their skin to them voluntarily...

I know that Sephardim Jews are definetely of Israeli ancestry, but most Ashkenazi (Eastern European Jews) don't really look Semitic ... they look European.

I have just returned yesterday from a holiday where I could gain no access to UK TV [Rwanda] to see this stormabout Big Brother. I started to watch the furore unfold and thought how can the Indian Government talk about racism within the UK when I know full well that I as a Black British woman could travel to India and encounter a lot of racsim within that country. I know this as many Indian people have told this to me. Furthermore the country is itself discriminatory towards lower castes and values lighter skin and more Caucasian features to a person who manifestly appears to be more Indian, hence the appeal of Bollywood stars such as: Shilpa Shetty and Aishwarya Rai.

I just personally feel that the Indian government government and Indian people who are burning effigies, etc are being hypocrites..

Please support my statement when I say "People need to open their eyes to the world in front of them and not immediately dismiss the idea that this is an ongoing and never ending practice." Women like her need to be aware.

There was a discussion concerning Hugh Hefner today, and his preferences of beauty, and how it may or may not include African-American women.

Here is my question: Is the bias for one race and not another ... racism?

The only difference between races.. is the skin tone. No race can fit into one category. For example, you can't stereo-typically put all black people in the same category.. we are all different… you may even find a black person .. natural.. with blond hair and blue eyes.. [Aborigines])

What about other races... do we find not appealing, and is this belief racist?

Or is that the one area of our life... where we can have such a bias and it not be considered racist? I.e. preference of blonds, brunettes.. ect, ect.

with the current alleged big brother racism scandel doing the rounds in the media and the public allegations and counter allegations flying around at the moment do people really think the british are a racist nation of people?
would it be fair to say that every country has it own form of racism or social exclussion going on when you scratch the surface?
does india really have the right to cry rasism when they have their caste system which affects a sizable amount of their own population?
scratch the surface in south america, the middle east, asia, europe and africa and do you find any form of racism and division in those countrys?
are we all really hipocrites? or do we beleve to much of the hype whiped up by the media?

A statement was made earlier: “Racism is over so get over it”. Is it really over? If so, when did it end? And if not, when will it end?

Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, commented that his wife, Catherine Stevens, is frequently stopped due to confusion with the former name of the folk singer. Cat Stevens (Y. Islam) is on the no fly list. Why is that? Just being curious.
