Uhhh I'm Im American and when I listen to British accents I can tell that some people have different accents than others but really they all soind the same to me. Does the way you talk differ depending on what region you're from in England? Can you tell the difference between our different accents. I mean like how we talk differently in Texas, Alabama, ...California, the Midwest, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, and Boston...etc... w/e it's a stupid question but I was just thinkin how to British people we have accents and thats so funny to me...anyway...k. :D OK thanks!

I am a white woman, and have only ever had one white boyfriend when I was 17, and then I went black (and of course, never went back)

I could NEVER fancy a white man again, but I don't understand why....I especially like Jamaicans. I think it's because most black men know how to be a real man....that's what I like, but it still confuses me.

I come across these questions about are Filipinos considered Asian, Pacific ISlander, or Hispanic? My theory is that most Older Filipinos, F.O.B's. or Filipinos from the PHilippines consider themselves asian cus they are amongst the Chinese, Korean, etc in the Philppines or if they live here in the Los Angeles now they just gravitate toward them. However us Fil-Ams gravitate toward Pacific Islanders or Hispanics because we do not feel a connection with Chinese, Korean, etc. We dont feel we look like them, talk like them, act like them, nothing. Filipinos live in places in Los Angeles where they share it with Pacific Islanders like Gardena, Carson, LB, also Filipinos live in places where they share it with Mexicans, Highland Park, La Mirada, Norwalk, Eagle Rock. So, I will keep it real and say MOST, I said MOST, Filipinos in Los Angeles would get insulted if you look at us like Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, etc cus we arent. Why cant we just be who we are FILIPINO, not PI or asian!

It's because of the Chavs who HAVE to use it.....
they don't care that their behaviour, language and ill manners offends most normal people and therefore the normal people won't use buses and trams because they don't want to feel intimidated.
Do you think that if the public transport companies tackled this problem then more normal people would be willing to use their services?

There is a war going on and all you trolls can think about is what black people are doing. I am black, raised middle-class, educated, never asked anyone for a hand-out, and do not believe in double standards. Is it because you are afraid to address your own insecurites? The only people who talk about slavery are whites who post questions about why blacks talk about it! We don't! We HAVE moved on. Why can't you?

I am not a racist by any means, but how does giving blacks thier own History Month or Television Network make them feel equal? All this does is to prove to them that they're different? Doesn't it kind of defeat the purpose?

I don't understand something, and maybe you can help.

I used to work in retail doing returns and exchanges in a department store. We had policies in place that kept people from bringing back items they had either damaged or would cost the store too much money to take back. I enforced these policies with EVERYONE. It didn't matter who they were. Some customers were black, and some of those (not all, but some) would throw out the line "It's because I'm black," and then proceed to indirectly call me racist, to which management would pretty much cave in and give them what they wanted and basically agree with them.

I find this very insulting and a little confusing. How is it that I can treat blacks the same way I treat everyone else and be a racist, yet some of them can look at me and assume that I'm a biggot because of my skin color, and yet I'm still the one who is wrong? I know that there are whites who are racist, but why do some think they have the right to assume I am one?

if your parents said you couldnt date someone that was a different race to you, would you go against their wishes or accept it and move on? do you think this is fair even if your not racist and they are?

I'm all for equal rights among different races, but I don't see why society feels that in order to do that, white people have to be hated on. Just about every black stand-up comedian will make fun of white people through the entire performance...and we're all supposed to laugh and say "Yep, we sure are lame." But if a white guy ever got up on stage and said "Have you ever noticed how black people always..." and before he'd finish his sentence he'd be booed off stage. Or why is it ok in black television shows for them to portray all whites as being racist, nerdy, or just stupid? Even in children's movies like Sharktale...the fish voiced by Will Smith says..."It's ok, a lot of white fish can't do it." Is that supposed to be funny? It's incredibly racist and it sends a bad message to kids. Also, whites can be casually referred to as "cracker" or "honkey" and we're not supposed to be offended.

Why is this? Why are we supposed to tolerate this?
