Other - Cultures & Groups - June 2007

I just watched a video that talked about a school who made a rule stating that there was no touching allowed on campus. Several months ago, there was that whole ordeal where the Aliso Niguel principal, Dr. Charles Salter, banned the dances for inappropriate dancing. Are highschool principals getting too strict? Touching is a part of life...high fives, slaps on the back, fancy handshakes....it's all part of it! I don't understand, why you would completely ban something so harmless. Imagine all the strange conversations among the students AND teachers that followed. "Oh, sorry, man. I'd give you a high five but Mrs. What's-Her-Face is standing right there." And everyone knows that there WERE better solutions to solving the freak dancing problem at Aliso Niguel. That shouldn't have been a big deal from the start. People now a days are generally less reserved than they were several years ago.

My question is...
Do you think principals and teachers are too strict, nowadays?

I know some people aren't going to bother reading a lengthy post, so I'll post random facts: (He is English btw, as some of the terms relate to British terms.)

1) He's in a long-term relationship with me. I'm half Chinese/half White.
2) He is attracted to minority girls, but I'm the first non-white girl he's dated.
3) He WAS a skinhead and had skinhead friends. However he told me it has nothing to do with race,and it was a working class thing? He told me he wasn't racist and that it was just a blue collar thing.
4) He uses the n word and he calls Indians "Pak*". He also calls Eastern Asians "ch*nk*es". He also calls me one, but I call him "l*mey" in return. (Usually we call each other that in good humor)
5) He beat up his white friend for using the n word because he says he doesn't want anyone calling our future child names.
6) When he was young, his best friend was Indian.

So what is going on? Racist or not? I'm a bit confused because he seems "all over the place" in his ideolog

People from Spain/Portugal have completely different roots than people from South America and the Caribbean. So why are they all called Latinos/Latinas? Where did this term come from?

Why do some people put down others to make themselves feel more confident?
If someone were truly better wouldn't they behave in such a way that reflected their "greatness" instead of acting like a bunch of hoodlums spreading hate and lies?

It's just Spaniard (from Spain.. white) mixed with something else like black or whatever. Are Hispanics really a race? The way I see it there are only 3 races. White, black and Asian. Anything else is just a mix of those.

Given that most of the questions this show up in are directed at white people, shouldn't there be even LESS than this number? No insinuation just a hopeful weed ousting.

Not trying to be racist, but many white people I've encountered in public always give me that fake smirk like they think they're being friendly, but want you out of your way. Have you ever dealt with that and hated it?

Some may hate me,
Okay man, I get the picture.
My skin is brown,
So you don't want me to eat with you?
That's cool,
Cause there are many people here,
Who will sit, eat, conversate in a pleasant atmosphere.
And with no fear,
Because people are just people.
A church of family,
With a multi-colored steeple.
With doors wide open,
So the love goes in and out.
Come join us for a day of peace,
And see what we're about.

I noticed every night (my time) these losers come on and some come on all proud of there sheet wearing days but to me other then oddly funny its sad that theres no treatment for them yet.

Lie number one: Black women are thought as ugly by all races.
Truth: My boyfriend is white and I had other races that would have taken me out but I was too shy then.

Lie number two:why do all black women have kids out of wedlock?
Truth:Am black and a virgin and told my current boyfriend what I believe in that I wait until after marriage.

Its funny this reminds me of a story when I was at the beach a Italian guy came up to be and we started talking and somehow he went from hi to I should sleep with him I never went back to that part of the beach.

Lie:All blacks like rap music
Truth:I hate it from when I first hear a song and and sometimes I see white teen guys just blasting that mess but I know all rap is not like that I heard but I like rock,oldies,big band

Any more lies?

People within our society have been sent to prison for taking part in S&M because it causes actual or grevious bodily harm.... so why are the ones that like to be punished, not treated as self harm patients?

If you were an alien from another planet, visiting earth to research self harming in humans, what would you write in your research book about the topic of S & M?

Why does america always think they are the "good guys" when they're not. They didn't solve by the iraqi invasion and everyday innocent people die at the hands of "good guys". It doesn't take a genius to see We (not we as in "me" also, cuz i'm ethiopian) are the bad guys. Iraq is a poor country and I feel sorry for all those people just trying to live their life and dumb americans killing them and destroying their homes, and raping children and shooting little 5 year olds. It's disgusting. God is my witness, what the u.s is doing is wrong! killing people for no reason, shedding innocent blood for oil. It's a sin and all thoses troops in iraq will surely go to hell for it, if they die in the battle field. They obeyed bush, not God when they decided to go overseas and kill some poor soul; that is why they will burn. "We ought to obey God rather than men" (Acts 5:29).Ameirca was blessed, but look where we have gone.Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom God.

For the most part my opinions of others haven't changed much, but I have become more outspoken in daily life because I've stopped caring about what people think about me.
