Please don't get me wrong, not trying to start a race war here

I'm not White, but I have visit a lot of neighborhoods, and I have to say, White neighborhoods are very safe, nice, quiet, peaceful, clean, the people there are also very intelligent, polite and well educated.

Anyone here feel the same?

Ok, we're doing on project on Global Poverty. When we were brain storming causes of poverty (yesterday) she claimed that Hindus were the main reason because of Caste System. I explained her that things aren't always how the Western Media portrays them and that the Caste System in its present form was never a creation of Hinduism.
Then she goes on to say that the only reason Hunger exists in India is because "All Indians think cows are sacred" and if Indians ate cows there would be no hunger.
Now Art is required for Graduation. I have 6 weeks of school left (to finish the required credit), Should I just shut up and do nothing or talk back to her and risk getting a low grade.
She plays favorites.
My GPA sucks thanks to my school's Magnet IB Program (I'm a recent immigrant and work 40 hours a week so every A counts).
How should I best block her out ?

On my job and places when I meet people I get along well with them until they ask my name. When they hear my Muslim name it seems like they act differently. On my job it seems like people don't know how to approach me. I am friendly and live a normal life. Why is it akward to approach someone who is different. I have my own idea, but looking for actual people thoughts.

She became both deaf and blind around 18 months, I have seen the miracle worker. But I still find it hard to believe that she was able to communicate anything at all. Being that she couldn't see or hear. Can some one give me proof that she was able to communicate anything at all.

i'm a free-thinker but i've been in a catholic school for the past 4 years. but since i moved to this new christian school i feel like all the teachers want me to be a christian because i'm the only caucasian in the school as i live in asia and almost everyone is chinese. they think that if your not indian or malay then u are a christian. we have chapel programme every week which all students have to atend but sometimes the teachers pick out students who they think can be church leaders to attend to sessions which they'll talk about the gospel. and guess wat? i was picked!!! i tried it out one time but i felt REALLY uncomfortable...i don't know wat to do! everyone expects me to be a christian!!!

I respect Americans but my problem is that certain places I go in the US whether it is in a city or suburban place, I'm met with comments such as "oh they come here and think their American." "oh I hate those people, I swear I see them in my town again I'll kill them." "That's not right that, Indian man is wearing brand names." This is a small sample but I faced harsher words. I know not all Americans are like this, like one time in Ohio I my car lost control but a kind family stayed behind two hours to help me out. I thank them with all my heart, now back to my question. I'm mixed Malaysian and Arab, but I have some East Indian features. I've lived in Britain, Saudi Arabia and Canada. To be specific these comments were made in (Chicago, IL) (Portage, IN) and some unknown place in Ohio.

I had a discussion if majority people don't know the discrimination. I think minority people much more know about the discrimination because if you were in the mjority group, it don't bother you so you don't really see and think about the discrimination. When majority people say "we do know about discrimination", I get offended because I don't think they do know about it. It's not thier fault for them to not know about it because they are majority and they don't have to care about it.

I'm Japanese and when I was in Japan, I was majority but did know discrimination exists but it of course didn't bother me because I was majority. It was like that I know there are discriminations but it's not my problem or anything. So I didn't know about discrimination truely but I would say that I do know about discrimination when someone ask me if I do.

So what I think is until you become minority, you don't know about discrimination.

Do Americans really believe the war in Iraq is going to yield something good for them, and do they believe that the situation can actually get any worse if troops are pulled out?

I am originally from Texas and now I am living in Georgia. Most black people I have talked to in Texas consider the Conferderate Flag as a symbol of racism, and a majority of people here in Georgia that I have talked to disagree, they view that flag as a symbol of southern pride and heritage. What do you view as the Confederate Flag as? (This is not intended to be a racist question, so I would perfer no racist answers.)

How come black people don't do skydiving, moutain climbing, capture crocodiles, dangerous stuff, etc. Is it the fact that our ancestors did the whole being chased by wild animals in the forest (against our will) thing? Maybe it so out of our system that we don't feel the need to be adventurous anymore?

Just look at them, they are consumed with hatred. They live their short lives hating and judging people for no good reason. God says hate no one but do they listen...NO!
They wake up hating... they go to bed hating. They live their lives so limited and dull. They cause themselves to have serious health conditions due to the stress and hatred they have inside of them.
So YES,I do feel sorry for them....but some are lost causes!
