I'm white but i think north-african and middle-eastern men are much more sexy than white guys. Are there more (white) women having this problem, not really being attracted to men of their own race?

I mean he's publicly apologized several times over with no expectation of forgivness. He's accepting his suspension with respectful dignity. He's trying to set up a meeting with the Retugers Women's Basketball team so he can personally apologized. Why are Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton saying it isn't enough?

What are they doing to get african american comics to stop making racist jokes against white people? Why is it taboo to make fun of non-white people but comics who are non-white can make any sort of joke they want?

Yes I have great pride in the white race..so what is wrong with that???? I'm not allowed to form a white club but its ok if you are of the brown color

if the blacks have pride in their communities no one seems to have a problem with it, only if whites are proud they are wrong.

I'm having a discussion on the differences between woman and African-American's (--- The difference's between Clinton and Obama)

and the full-on-Obama supporter is claiming that there's less of a chance for Clinton to win because of her sex - without taking into consideration of what a lot of american's might think of Obama for his skin tone.

and he's bringing up some things that woman are barred for.

What are some things african-american's are barred for??



(Please note, I am a full supporter of Obama AND Clinton)

Don Imus said some racially charged statements - he's hang'd
Ice-Cube says the same thing - nothing happens to him

Don't be fooled by your leaders like AL Sharpton. They just further the division. Because of stuff like this, I do my darndest to stay out of the way of black people and that includes not hiring them or dealing with them in business. Your Loss? Your win? And, believe me, their are many that think like me.

Most Americans seem to have skewed interpretations of the world. Most of them think that people who live in other countries of the world are of one distinct race, when in fact this is entirely untrue. I am from the islands of Trinidad and Tobago (located in the Caribbean), but I am of East Indian and Chinese mixed race. Trinidad and Tobago are diverse islands and have people of all races and mixes (East Indian, Chinese, African, Caucasian, etc). Whenever I talk to someone here in the United States, they would categorize me into the country which they think I belong. They mostly think I'm from an eastern country like India, or the Singapore. They are mostly always surprised that I am from a Caribbean island, because they think that most Caribbean people are of one race or black. :-(

I would like the people of the United States to become more aware of the history and diversity of all countries of this world. There is rarely a country in this world that is completely of one homogeneous race. There are East Indian raced people born and raised and living in different countries, including the Caribbean, England, Africa, Middle East, South America, and more! And many different raced people (such as whites) live in India, China, and other eastern nations. The same goes for all other nations!

It is very sad to know that Americans can be so educated and diverse, yet be so ignorant about the rest of the world. It's time for a wake up call. I really hope that things change with time, because to hold such categorical and stereotypical views about another nation is quite depressing and hurtful.

So, why do you think Americans hold such stereotypes and interpretations? And do you have any suggestions as to what could be done to reduce these stereotypes? Thanks for your input.

I am referring to those people who dress in Hollister-like clothing, torn jeans, sandals, sunglasses, etc. They like to use the phrase "I'm kind of a big deal" and they act as if they were better than everyone else. O and C are their 2 favorite letters in the alphabet.

The reason I'm asking this is because I know some people who fit this description. I was just curious to see if there was a correct term for this type of person.

I heard from some friends that black people have either an extra calf muscle or an extended calf muscle, one of the two. Does anyone know if this is true or not?

You are going to meet many bi-racial or multi-racial people in life, so for those who think mixing races is a crime, you ought to open your mind and stop living in your own dimentional one! So what if a Black and White person has a baby, or a Mexican and a Chinese person has a baby! You say you don't want them to grow up being hated by others who think it's wrong to be bi-racial! Please, many people are accepting, and find it quite exotic and beautiful to see a mixed person. Many loved celebrities are the eye candy of others. It's your job as a parent to assure your child that love has no color, or no definition saying you have to be with your own kind! I have a Black mother and a Puerto Rican father. I love them and Identify with them both. I have mixed friends, love them dearly! I love myself, and am loved for who I am. Maybe if you stop making people feel insecure and like one race is superior or better than they'd see life differently. What's the problem? You are!

This is the only modern subculture that I do not understand. "Indie" is a style of music/movies/art that has bred its own fashion and lifestyle that is supposedly "independent" from everything else.
However, I know quite a few "indie scenesters", and all of them wear the SAME EXACT CLOTHES, and listen to the SAME EXACT MUSIC.
How can one be "independent" when they follow a trend?

slurs of "Grey's Academy" actor Isaiah Washington. What the about the anti-Semetic rant of Mel Gibson or the racist rant of Michael "Kramer" Richards when he repeatedly use the N-word. And if "gansta rap" is responsible does it surprise you that they are all "gangsta rap" fans?

I saw footage of them watching Man U game, playing ping pong, joking and laughing... nobody even built a naked pyramid out of them or forced to eat britsh food (joke)... Now as their story of "torture, pressure, interrogaton" seems all but credible, Tony Blair ordered them to keep their mouth shut. Dont you think there is something really fishy about this?

I'm from England, and I don't live in a posh house, I'm not snooty and pretty easy going. My teeth aren't brown. I don't have a nanny, and I am not a nanny. None of the guys I know are gay.

But all I see on american TV and films is us represented like this. On Fraiser, Friends and Bridget Jones.
Wheras reality is more like The Office, and Extras, this shouldnt be the case.
Why is Simon Cowel, and Anne robinson representing us, those are mean people? they are mean even for us on TV. why is nasty strict people our export?

I like america, but sometimes you guys hurt my feelings.
