I go to a very diverse university, and it seems ethnic groups tend to 'keep to themselves' making the university extremely cliquish. I'm starting to doubt claims that multiculturalism is necessarily a unifying thing and tends to divide people.

HAve you ever been accuysed of acting white? I find it so idiotic and moronic that a person can sound like a racial group. I'm a Honor rolls student and I'm in Ap. And I'm always getting teased by my Black peers because I like to read and I'm very intellectual. Why has it become acceptable to be dumb in the Black community?

My father mother is from Jamacia and she would tease me about my complexion. She would always say that "dark skinned women will never find a husband" and that I inhertieted 'bad blood" from my mother. My mom has a reddish skintone. Nad my dad is dark like coal. ANd he makes me mad because he said that dark-skinned women always have attitudes and they are not as pretty as the light ones. I'm still mad at my dad for saying these things to me.

I won't mention any particulars, but all races/cultures do have on the "majority" of their population certain personality types, values, etc. Some are very close to the family, some are extremely hard workers, some are very lazy, some are extremely religious, etc. Yet anytime somebody asks about one of the traits, all of a sudden, "you sound ractist, thats media, not everyone is like that, etc."

Why am I paying more for my car insurance then older people? I'm a good driver, but "for the most part, those in my age range", aren't and get in more accidents.

I guess people think the race characterizations are because of their color, what they fail to notice is its not their skin color that makes them like that, its their culture and hundreds/thousands of years the cultural personalites they developed.

All of the older people in my family keep telling me that my fiance and i will not work souly because we are "not of the same race, Our cultural backgrounds are different, We were raised differently." And yes that might cause a few heated discussions. But i do not see where it could ever become the reason we can no longer be together. we talk things out. No matter how subburn either one of us are, we sit down and talk it out. we've made a promise to never sleep on an argument. I very strongly believe in that. But the point is. In a relationship it is about coping and sacrificing. Coming to a common agreement. It has nothing to do with your skin color. My fiance is Colombian and proud. I support him in that. His family has worked all their life to get where they are now. In Florida. I would be proud too. He is a very smart man. In the Air Force. College. Pays for his own things. Bills. How could the difference in our race cause problems for us? The world is too closed minded.

when someone refers to u (if ur latino/hispanic) as 'mexican' even though u could be from el salvador, puerto rico, cuba, etc.

or if ur asian being called 'chinese' though u may be from korea, philippines, malaysia, etc.


i myself find it offensive cuz it has happened to me...but it depends on how ignorant the person saying it is...and ive ran into quite a few of people like that in my life. makes me want to kick the crap outta the person instead of correcting them or educating them about it.

Am I the only one who thinks there should be more done about harrassment in our school systems? It is totally unfair that there are laws to protect us at our jobs but not our children in their schools!

How can the country of Canada and its government increase its birthrate from a weak 1.5 childrenborn/woman to a self-sufficient 2.1 childrenborn/woman? I ask this because Canada already has trouble with its own identity (which is why some Canadians seem so anti-American. Instead of having something we are, we have to say what we aren't. Not a good thing) and increasing our population only by immigration is not good. Is it too late to save our natural growth?

What is wrong with nation? Everyone get pregnant when they r under 18. Have 1456 b/fs before marriage.Most of them cant cook,but have good experience how to hunt for guys every saturday night.
Women in other countries act a little bit better than women in USA. Most of them dont have a kids before marriage. Sometimes it seems like women here needs big wallet and bed-toy-man,and sponsor for their kids.I want to marry woman without kid,where can i find such a interesting woman, over 25 y.o.? Should i go for that to Russia like my firends did? They got married with girls from there.Nice thin girls,no kids,and very loyal.

When I ask most people they say it's because it's illegal, but people break laws all the time. The next and final reason they give is they can't or they don't. I fail to see how that could hold up to logic.

So logically speaking, why should a person not smoke pot?
