Other - Cultures & Groups - April 2007

I have to attend a science competition in Texas and all of my friends who have visited America are telling me not to go because they dislike Indians very much, more than any other group. I have noticed that too in science forums people will not talk to you if you're Indian, but they have no problem with Africans, East-Asians, Arabs. Is this true? If so, why? Please be honest I won't be offended and am not looking for sympathy or being oversensitive I just want to get a sense of the opinion before I come. Thanks

I mean, I would imagine that after millions of years, we had to begin from something, so could we all somehow be related to each other?

Religions have provided their followers with values of morality, and other thing concerning how we should spend our lives.
But don't you think the following things are against religion?
1. S e x before marriage. It was called a d u l t e r y, but now it is called freedom?

I read before that most black people had at least 20% white in them alone. Not counting all the other things. Like when all those stars (Oprah Winfrey, Quincy Jones, T.D. Jakes, Whoopi Goldberg, Mae Jemison, Chris Tucker, and Henry Louis Gates)
they all had something else in them, so aren't they mixed? how come they don't say they are mixed. really all black people should say they are mixed. but they do not. and if i was to say i am black some people will be like no you are mixed. but they don't call themselves mixed, how come i do.

What strikes me is the claim that making a woman show her face will 'exclude and marginalise her'. Doesn't covering one's face exclude and marginalise her?

Main Entry: rac·ism
Pronunciation: 'rA-"si-z&m also -"shi-
Function: noun
1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
2 : racial prejudice or discrimination

I believe that the black african race/ethnicity is superior to all others based on morals. They are generally communally oriented, have positive relations with other races, even those who exploited them in the past, they show great charity and kindness to strangers , are humble hardworking and equitable.But I am not a black african.

I am not talking about transplanted black africans who reside in other countries outsdie the continent of africa.

I believe that whites and asians are superior to others when it comes to governance and economic development. I also include jews in this group.

I am a racist. anyone else willing to admit it?

The way they were brought up?
Their parents?
The fact that they live in a small town in Texas with a population of 100, and has never left the town?
What's your opinion?
