Other - Cultures & Groups - June 2007

are hispanic/black/asian? I was reading about the Madeline McCann case, and was curious as to why she was getting much attention. So I went to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and concluded that the majority of missing children under the age of five are involved in family abductions. But while I was searching the site, I saw that A LOT of the missing children are minorities. Is there any reasoning behind this?

A question was ask about foreigners and how they thought we as Americans felt about them. And the below was my answer:


I have to give you my honest opinion on this and this comment is only coming from one Black American Female. I don't know if other American feels the way that I do. But I really don't care what foreigners think about America. Only because I feel that I'm not real glad about foreigners being in America all that much. I feel if you weren't born here, you shouldn't be here. There are a lot of foreign countries that don't want Americans on there soil. And I just feel the same about foreigners being on American soil. Now don't get me wrong. I don't have a problem with you all visiting. But once you've done the tour, I would just like it if you would just get back on the plane and go home.

I'm not trying to start another war on foreigners or anything. But I'm just upset that they're all over the place. And they get better treatment then real Americans. Comments?

I just read another posters answer on here where she said she would like if all foreigners would go home, and only US citizens belong in the US! I get so frustrated when I see people like this!! But I guess I just have to remember that most are not this bad :)
Aghhh!!!

**I don't want to offend anyone. This is a simple question and if you find it in any way offensive or you have something offensive to say then just move on please.**

Would you ever switch lives with a black person for a few months with your same economic status (i.e. white middle class switch with a black middle class person....) just to see how the other half lives. Would it be interesting to see similarities and differences? Would you like to gain a different perspective based on experience and not what the media tells you?

People always tend to say that teenagers and young adults are more open to different view points but I have never found this to be the case. Most I have met (which is many) and also the ones you find on sites like this are the most closed minded people I have ever spoken to. When speaking to other adults there is a general recognition that most issues are not black and white. However, some young people tend to think that they are absolutely right in everything they say or do. Any counter arguments or differences of opinion are meet with either huffs or hostility.

Any body agree or disagree?

PS referring to the majority but not all. There are plenty of exceptions at both ends of the age scale.

You are encouraged to feel pride in you race & skin color if you are anything but white.If you are of white-European descent you are told to feel guilty over things that you are not responsible for & happened before you were even born.The words cracker & honky are considered funny.While the words beaner & coon are considered racist.It is ok to use the term pale-face yet it isn't ok to call someone a darky.A minority can call a white person pretty much anything they want & not have to worry about being considered a racist.White people are forced to be overly sensitive & politically correct almost all the time.Blacks have the NAACP & BET.Hispanics have LaRaza & UniVision & TeleMundo.There are 300 million Americans.Two thirds of us are white.That means there are 200 million white people in America.Who speaks for us?

First, I am a white man dating a black woman. We get more hatred thrown at us from white people.
Second, most of the questions regarding racism are asked by white people on here. Especially questions about the N word and who is allowed and not allowed to use it--why do whites want to use the word so bad? Additionally, whites on here continually ask about why black people do this or that--what is the problem? I don't see many black people asking racist themed questions about white people.
So I have to ask, who is more racist?
Why?

I notice lots of "proud of race" on the Yahoo answers.
How anyone can be proud of what they had absolutely no control over is absurd.
There is good and evil in the human family...period. Why be proud of what you don't control?
Sure a person can make sure they have kids with their own race or ethnicity, but the truth is no one is special to God because of race.
This is obvious that God doesn't see race when he blesses or curses, when he takes life or gives it, it is all the same to him.
Just like the sun favors no one, neither does God.
I imagine a black man, a Hispanic man, a Anglo-saxon man, a Native American, an Aisan and if one of them stands up, sticks out his chest and proudly says, "I'm so proud to be NOT like the rest of you!" is so absurd it is almost unbelievable.
Why is race so important to some?

On national geographic, they can show the entire bare breasts of women for minutes at a time and call it "indigenous nudity."

Yet, when Janet Jackson momentarily showed a star covered nipple , there was a big uproar.

Children have as much access to National Geographic as the superbowl, and it's not as if they show these documentaries late at night.

I believe I know the answer, but I'm wondering if other people will also notice the implications of this double standard that the western world has.

Okay I have this problem where I don’t realize things until much LATER. I am very stubborn. Sometimes I can be narrow-minded. I am sensitive. It seems like I have the wrong emotions for everything. I can’t help it though. I don’t want to change myself because of others. Because I am tired of changing for people because it has gotten me nowhere. I hate it. I hate that I am stuck in the past. I hate that I am so negative. I hate that I am pathetic and I am on this website looking for advice while I can not confront my problems myself. Can anyone help me? Please. I am almost seventeen. When am I going to grow up?

everytime I see or hear a black person say, I dont talk black because I talk proper (which is ironic because it is impossible to "talk proper;" one "talks properly.")

Talking white and talking properly are not one in the same.

George Bush Talks white and he can barely comeplete a sentence.

I've noticed on many occasions that people object to the use of the phrases "acting black" or "acting white." Why is that?

while I applaud people's effort to be color blind I think these folks are, in fact, simply blind to reality. Saying that two things are different does not imply one is better than the other. So I dont understand why people feel compelled to negate the obvious cultural difference between Black and White.

There are differences between the way Black people and white people TYPICALLY act. There is a different rhythm in speech (regardless of grammar), walk, style of dress, ect. A black church is different than a white church. we decorate or houses different from eachother, we season our food different, and so on. With so many distinctions between black and white how can somebody honestly say there is no such things as "acting black or "acting white?"
