Other - Cultures & Groups - August 2007

Anyone who organises a drama group knows one problem is the much greater number of females than males.
What is more, if one asks 'What is the most feminine job or role'? The answer is very often 'actress'. To the question 'Is the most masculine role "actor"?' you get hoots of laughter and comments like 'Half of them are gay!'
Why is this?

When you hear " White power" or "Black power" or stuff like that, it always amazes me because that doesn't make any sense. It's like saying " Tall power" or "Medium Weight power"...you didn't contribute anything, had no say or choice in the matter.
Now race and culture is different. If you're Irish, Italian, Brazilian or Zimbabwean, you can be proud of the accomplishments or achievements of your family, ancestors and history.That's understandable and you can also argue that you're contributing.
I can understand African Americans though because I define them more of a culture than a race. I mean, after all, they don't know where they came from but their history is similar once they were in the US. And there's usually a big cultural difference between an African American and an African even though they're all black.

I'm asking this question in this category since it's such a hot topic "spot". (Just thought I'd explain myself before someone asks.... Although I will probably ask the same question in another category.)

If you've learned something, do you mind sharing? I'm just a curious cat. ☺

Thanks for your answers. ♥

Why in the hell are you agreeing and siding with these people-who are are self-righteous, and racially insensitve against all ethnic groups-when you are in fact Asian? Why don't you ask them how they feel about your race? I bet they wouldn't have anymore nice things to say about Asian people, than they do about any other race....And you wouldn't appreciate hearing negative things about YOUR race... Just as much as other people don't like hearing negative thing about their race.

So basically, you are a JOKE. You need to look in the mirror and realize who you really are.... And realize that because people look and act different than you, it doesn't mean there is something wrong with them! THERE IS SOMETHING REALLY WRONG WITH YOU!

I trust India much more than I would ever trust China making my things. India has an appreciation of individual accomplishment while Chinese seem to only think about how much money they can make regardless of how they get it. Whether it comes by adding poison to fabricate protein content of blatant copyright infringement. At least India has pride. The world will probably never be able to return from outsourcing, but we could at least outsource to countries that actually care about their citizens and have some pride for their own accomplishments instead of looking for handouts and playing the victim card. India was colonized much, much longer than China and don't complain at all compared to the latter. Vietnam ended their war with the US 30 years ago and still hold less animosity than Chinese toward Japan even though they fought over 60 years ago. What do you think? Is it finally time to care about where we have our products made instead of going for the cheapest available?

The essay topic is Egalitarianism. I'm now writing the plan for the body paragraph, but I'm so confused about how to put each main idea into each paragraph.

The things I wanna talk about such as *Aboriginal Australian *Women *Gay & Lesbian *Asian migrants
(cos they were treated unfairly in the past but the society now....etc)

If I write 1main idea in each paragraph then how do I categorise them? Cos I need to write at least 3para. in the body.

Women + Gay & Les. = GENDER
Aboriginal + Asians = RACIAL

then only 2 ideas?

Why do some (not all, but its still a substantial amount) older people think most of the population under 30 is immature and inexperienced? My grandmother took me out amongst her friends one day and they were commenting on "you young people" .... and one had the audacity to call me a kid!
I have noticed this with a lot of the eldetly, that they don't take the younger generations seriously although we are the ones with the jobs paying the taxes for the Social Security to support their old butts....
I am currently in the process of a move and the guy leasing the place acted as if I were too young to keep up the place... and he called me a kid!
Has anyone ever felt short changed because of their age?

Why do some Americans act like racism is only between whites and blacks? I know some people that think if someone is racist towards a black person they're white and vice versa.

Ofcourse your thinking how can there be a river, well my friends does anybody know how rivers are formed, well with that in mind, can you argue that already a steady stream has developed in Iraq. Yes a steady stream of blood is already there and that stream if kept fed at its ever increasing rate by 2010 will turn into a RIVER OF BLOOD. I for one wouldn't like to see this happen so I guess my question really is what can we do to stop it. I once suggested we come together as a race and learn to use all our hidden powers. But all that got me was a whole bunch of ridicule. Well you know what I don't care cuz I know I AM RIGHT. If we stop killing each other we have a chance to save ourselfs and the planet and prevent this river from ever forming and dry up the stream that exists now. We can do it all we have do to is wake up and realize desperate times call for desperate measures. My question is do you all love at least your planet and each other enough to stop your own destruction do you?

Is 61% of all new HIV/AIDS cases are african american women between the ages of 24-44. I say yes. Now, this means that out of every 50 new people affected with the HIV virus, 30 of them are african american women. Also AIDs are the number one killer of african american women. (Heart disease for white women). My husbands cousin just past away from complication due to AIDS, she was 37. White men and women, and black men are living longer lives with the disease then african american women. Don't take my word, look it up!

Yes alarming but true. I'm a 27 year old black women, I'm married with three kids, but I still worry about my sisters, friends, and everyone struggling with this disease. AIDS is not color blind, everyone is getting affected blacks, whites, latinos.

I'm an American studying at a British university. Everyday a different Brit tells me that Americans are stupid and then they go on and on about it.

I get it. Americans are stupid & Brits take the piss. As a result, I just concentrate on my studies and try to get through the year. I know my own course pretty well(European History and Politics)and a fair bit about other subjects. I'm starting this year ranked as the number 3 student in terms of marks. Anyway, a lecturer, with whom I have to study again this year, told me that the reason he gave me a lower mark is because I don't engage non-written debate when it deals with the 'States.

I think he's trying to screw me over. Brits think what they think about the US and that's it! No need for debate. Although it irritates me, I'm thinking of changing my course to French. On the one hand, it feels like avoidance and cheating b/c I've been a Qualified Interpretor for the past 3 years but on the other, what are my options?
