Other - Cultures & Groups - February 2007

I noticed there wouldn't be a north korea or a south korea or such a thing as the korean war...and there wouldn't be so many americans and other asians dead if they weren't so evil..they killed many asians for no reason they even cut of a persons arms and sewed them the opposite side...and all the other stuff

Isnt that being racist to generalize that this month is dedicated to a color of skin? If there were a white history month how would that go over with the general public?

And sorry if I offend you. I am just curious.

I am just wondering why some jamacans talk, like, different. It's like they speak english, but when they do, it seems like the words are all switched around. And you know it's english but sometimes it doesn't sound like it. I know they know how to like talk like, you know, regular english or whatever, but like why do they do it? is it like something in their culture or what? Does it have a name? And it's not like it's just Jamacans because my friend is from Belise or someplace like that, and her mom sometimes talks like that, but I don't want to ask why because it would probably be rude. and I know if i do ask, it would probably come out wrong because I'm not very good with choosing my words carefully.

again, sorry if I offended anybody.

I am always hearing white people in America mention that none of their ancestors held slaves. Well, I am white and some of mine did (on one of my grandparent's side. the rest didn't - were recent immigrants etc.). Should this knowledge affect me in any way? As a white person in America, I have received privileges related to the slave trade regardless of whether I have actual ancestors who participated as slave masters. The direct monetary privileges that I have received came from my father, who was a doctor, but his family's history never contained any slaveholders. It is from my mother's side, and she was a stay-at-home mother who never supported us monetarily. I believe that all of us have ancestors that did horrible things. I believe that most of us probably have *somewhere* down the line some ancestors who were rapists, murderers, and other things. Should the fact that I have American ancestors who were slave holders make a significant difference in my outlook or attitude?

For example, for your next life (if there is one), which race would you rather be? Hispanic, Asian, Black, etc?

There's one catch, you can't choose your former race.

This is so sad, but I've got no idea as to what my heritage is. Neither do my parents, and my grandparents are not around to answer.

Some surnnames on my father's side of the family are Gilbreath, Mcspadden, and Crafton. I've Googled them, but I've not found anything that talks about their origins.

Any ideas?

I was reading an article that called Tyra Banks fatt and she is still less then a size 5. She seemed to be very skinny to me. (I was really confused) Then I checked out other articles that stated that two women died from anerexia because they wanted to become models. (both size 2).

HERE IS MY OPINION
I personally find that the FLAT BOARD EUROPEAN IDEAL BODY-TYPE BORING AND DOWNN RIGHT UGLY. I want a WOMEN WHO IS MORE "JESSICA RABBIT" THAN CINDERELLA/SNOW WHITE!!!!!
(QUESTION FOR YOU) LETS FACE IT; American women; BLACK, WHITE AND LATINA have a larger body and thicker curves. (Statistics say that Americans have a little more "cushin" than Euros and Asians). Why the HEILLEE DOESN'T OUR IDEALISM or ASTHETICS OF BEAUTY DEPICT THE REALITY THAT WE SEE EVERY DAY?? Most guys I have talked with also said that SUPER MODELS may have beautiful photogenic faces but THEIR BODIES ARE TOO DAMMM UGLY! WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS??? We NEED MORE MARILAYN MANROWS/Dorothy Dandrigde type builds.

I have traveled to many countries and everywhere I go, people hate Americans. They think they big on themselves and cocky and arrogant and rude and stupid and fat and everybody talks about George Bush , how they hate him and I just get tired of it! I almost hate to travel now!
I have also noticed that many Americans are critical of George Bush and are also Critical of Americans . When I go to Europe or Asia or when I talk to people from Australia , I NEVER hear them say they hate their goverment or apologize for their country, but I have to all the time, even though dont think it is right to label me just because i LIVE in USA. But I also think that Many Americans are becoming ashamed to be American and many hate our government. I think there is a lot of Self- Hating Americans out there. I dont think it is right. since that is stupid and ignorant to judge somebody on where they just happen to live. I dont run this country, I just live here!

In high school, I learned about a tribe (in Africa, I think) where occasionally, one of the girls (physiologically speaking) becomes a boy at puberty when the testciles drop. Then, the girl begins to live as boy instead. Does anyone know the name of the tribe or where I can learn more about this?
