I am 13 years old and I've been living here in the Philippines all my life. My mother is filipina and my dad is african-american. When I was 3, my dad left us. I feel so pressured all the time because people always expect me to act like a gangster or listen to rap, but i dont care what they think. I like rap, but i love jimi hendrix. I play the guitar, and wish to be a professional guitarist when i grow up. I dont have alot of friends because im black, and its tough because me and my mom are planning to move to the states soon and I dont think there are alot of kids like me. I dont really fit in with alot of people. the only way i can express myself is through my guitar. My family isnt rich, we are actually pretty poor. My mom works all week so we can make money to go to the states. How can i feel more comfortable with my situation?

K, so I'm a bit of an in-betweener. I've lived in Europe and in America, and one of my parents is English.

The thing is Americans think all English people have the same posh accent that nobody uses. That they all eat crumpets, have tea time and are serious.

And I want to clear a few things:

1) Most Brits speak "commonly." Aka not the "hot" accent that Hugh Grant uses (fake btw) in his movies.
2) Most Brits are hilariously facetious and are not serious. They are more laid back than Americans in this sense.
3) Ok fine, Brits do have bad teeth....
4) Ok yes, they are alcoholics, by American standards anyway.
5) They don't have "tea time" or eat crumpets. Although they do drink a lot of tea.
6) More Brits live in council housing than in rich Westminster. Aka not all royalty.
7) Not all Brits know Prince William by name or have met him in person.

Glad to clear a few things up.

How big are your eyes. I seen many sizes. Some that are very big and beautiful. Big but not freakish and poped out like a freak of nature. I have seen many people with beautiful cow like eyes. Look at a picture of a cow's eyes. I have also seen small eyes.

What is the ideal and most desirable eyes in america? what color is most favoritable?

So give me your size, color, and your ancestral background. I want to find where the most beautiful people come from. And what america thinks is nice. I am a Aussie. You know kangaroo land.

Are you more likely to approach the attractive one, or are you more intimidated to talk to them? Do you avoid unattractive people or are you drawn to them because its easier, or they make you look better?

first of all I am from Ethiopia. A lot of my friends or people in my school always say am i mixed or w/e because of my hair and that i am light skinned. I think alot of people get the impression of africans as tall, dark, and short kinky hair. It really gets on my nerves. But ive also noticed alot of black people like in my school hate admitting that they come from africa. they would make these excuses saying "im puerto ricon" or im mixed with native american and indian or blah blah. Why do people hate admitting they are from africa? is it embarrising or something? im pretty proud of it.
I think people might be embarresed because of alll that sh** the media shows them...honestly i think people believe in whatever they see or hear? what u think?

Where do these nerdy asian stereotypes come from anyway? First off I ain't asian so dont think im trying to prove something. But here in NYC the asians here (in public schools) are all gang affiliated and have dyed yellow bangs and are really rude, always spitting on the ground and stuff...where did all these stereotypes about asians come from and are the asians in the suburbs really like those nerdy ones on tv?

i found a picture of what asians look like at nyc, sorry so small but its the only pic i could find : http://www.jane-finch.com/files/xmachetes.jpg

I am researching Cherokee Indian culture, like costumes, and customs, and I am not having much luck finding what I am looking for. Does anyone know what the costumes are called, and where I can find a picture of them? Also does anybody know any customs or traditions for the Cherokee Indian tribes?

In my school, I am in an accelerated English and a normal Science. I have noticed the people in my classes.
In my acc. englsih class, there are absolutely no black people in there, and like two hispanics. Almost everyone is white or asian.
In my science class, almost half of the people are black or hispanic, with like 6 or so white people, and like 2 asians.
Does this seem right to you? do you think this is this racism in a way?

Hello Black Ladies. I just saw Daddy's Little Girl and I have an

interesting question for you. There was a scene in the movie

where Gabrielle Unions character mentions how tough it is to find

a good black man the more successful you get in corporate

America as a black female. Now I am 24 and I make a little over 6

figures a year and I am about to get married to a beautiful black

woman. Here is my question. Do you think corporate America

drives a wedge on the characteristics of who we seek as

soulmates the more successful we become as black males and

females. Because I often hear a lot of black women say when

a black male becomes successful he always wants to seek a

white female. I don't think that the entire case. You ladies are so

beautiful and I adore your strength. Let me know what you think

about the question?

Not that all Black people have the same features but we mostly have dark skin, fuller lips, broader noses and kinky/cury hair. You rarely see people with these features protrayed on tv as beautiful or sexy. Why are people so closed minded?
