I am travelling to Laos/Thailand/France and China in June this year; it's my way of reconnecting with my roots. I am half Laotian (a small country next to Thailand), with my other half being Chinese, Indian, and French.

I came to Canada when I was 4, I am now 24, haven't gone back to any country...

My parents tell me I'll never make it...that I've been so spoiled in Canada that I'll cry at the sight of an outhouse.

Are they right are these countries that much different than Canada?

If so, why am I seeing Whites on America's Most Wanted and White men on the news for burying thier victims in the backyard and killing their wives stuffing them in the trunk...Why? I believe Blacks are the ones to get caught and most likely some old White woman got her pursed snatched and blamed it on a Black man when in reality it was some redneck! Now please tell me how Blacks cause the most crimes!

Say you were hiking in the woods and you passed by some nude hikers.But they covered their genitals so as to not offend any body.Would you report them to the authorities or go about your business or remove you rclothes and join them?

I'm half white and mexican and I have a black boyfriend. We were discussing why don't black men date black women. If a black women dates outside of her race they should not get angry because they didn't want her anyway. Nowadays it's hard for black women to get a black man. Either they're in jail, gaye, or with a white women. I don't know what my sister will do, I guess she must go to another race. (I was adopted by a black family)

I don't understand why America, which is a "melting pot" of cultures chooses one ethnic group to honor above the rest. There is no excuse to why it isn't racist. I think that if we have an African-American history moth, There should aswell be an Asian-American history month, An Hispanic-American History month, A European-American History month, a Native American History month, ect. Why honor one group more than another? I don't understand why Black people in the united states get a whole month to honor them, when there are several other groups that have had influence on the culture of the United States but they don't get their own month honoring them. I think we should either make every month honoring an ethnic group that have influenced american life, or not have any at all. Honor everyone, or honor no one.

The color of the next president is not what we need to worry about.
This world is so screwed up, does it matter what color he/she is ? Whether he's black, white or hispanic, can he really solve all of the social, economic and environmental problems this world has?

Why can't some people get over themselves? Seriously none of us are better than the other no matter what you do, no matter how much money you have, and no matter what race you are. Humans aren't even better than animals even though we act like we are, so why all the superiority complexes people?

Many minorities say "damn it!" get out of here damn white bigots

No minorities wouldn't do "alright without our sorry asses"

Logically without us minoriites would still be savage, primitive soceities...

I'm sorry minorities we can do without, but whites actually helped advance socieity.

not going to correct my spelling. example of minorites these day s.

How to "Prove" That Basketball-Players are Born that Way


Suppose you are motivated to demonstratefor political reasons--that there is a basketball gene that makes people grow up to be basketball players. You would use the same methods that have been used with homosexuality: (1) twin studies; (2) brain dissections; (3) gene "linkage" studies.


The basic idea in twin studies is to show that the more genetically similar two people are, the more likely it is that they will share the trait you are studying.


So you identify groups of twins in which at least one is a basketball player. You will probably find that if one identical twin is a basketball player, his twin brother is statistically more likely be one, too. You would need to create groups of different kinds of pairs to make further comparisons--one set of identical twin pairs, one set of nonidentical twin pairs, one set of sibling pairs, etc.


Using the "concordance rate" (the percentage of pairs in which both twins are basketball players, or both are not), you would calculate a "heritability" rate. The concordance rate would be quite high--just as in the concordance rate for homosexuality.


Then, you announce to the reporter from Sports Illustrated: "Our research demonstrates that basketball playing is strongly heritable." (And you would be right. It would be "heritable"--but not directly inherited. Few readers would be aware of the distinction, however.)


Soon after, the article appears. It says:


"...New research shows that basketball playing is probably inherited. Basketball players are apparently 'born that way!' A number of outside researchers examined the work and found it substantially accurate and wellperformed..."

i recently watched a movie called a Day without a mexican. I think it's lies. We would have less crimes, less taggings, rapes.. etc.
