Other - Cultures & Groups - August 2007

It seems like the white kids today are all trying to act ghetto, black and fabulous. They listen to music about gangs, drugs, and sex that has nothing to do with the pristine life they enjoy. On the other hand, wealthy, suburban black kids don't act like that. They have good grades in school, are helpful in the community, and don't try to emulate the Ghetto lifestyle. Why is there this cultural divide in suburban teenage America?

Hi, all these questions that I read where people complain about immigrants and so on. I personally disagree wtih many. Who is to say what nation is the best??? Why are people proud to be one nation and not the other, when THEY have not done anything for their country???
I have had a conversation with a teenager recently (British) who said, "oh yeah, marry this guy from Pakistan or marry this guy from India" in a sense that they are worse!!! And she said "oh yeah, I make more money than this guy from Hungary who works for 1.50 an hour". I could not believe what I was hearing!!! Even teenagers, who have achieved nothing in ther life think they are better than older people from other countries who came here in order to give a good life to their children. How does that make brits better than other people????

Don't you agree.
Because you can't say, let the Mexicans in, but keep the muslims out. You have to let us ALL in.

I once heard a couple years ago a friend of mine that americans do not like french and vice versa.Is it true? Why?) If it´s true.... well, then why in the world is that?. Make no sense, because France was free from the germans thanks to the allied army during WWII. Well,. and others have failed to recognize the grreatness of such.

It seems like people are getting worse and worse, the morality of people in general is going down the drain. What is causing this, is it society, rage, non-religion, bad parenting,.........?

i really do not understand how the word latin reached south america... i mean it came from europe ( it started off from greece, then to italy, then to spain ) how the hell did it get to south america.. i do not understand why they call theirself latin ( latinos and latinas ) which they are truely not!!!! and i also do not see how they let they indian heritage just fly away... because if i was from south american ( which i am not ) i would deffinatly consider my self as native indian or native american, red indian or native indian... i mean you see films like medicine man and you think why are they called latin when to me i really see there indian heritage... they got invaded and sad to say raped by spain and they take their name to me they should be enemys not take their name.... i mean i think one day it should go back to being called american indian or native indian because its not fair anymore they are called an excotic sexy name '' latin '' which they are not...

I always said I wasn't racist. And I'm not. But when I hear all the jokes I make and my friends... I realized that a lot of people are racist. I'm so sick of being called a honkey or whitebread. So sick of it. It works both ways with racism. It's not just minorities... why can't people recognize that. They are so worried about catering to the other cultures problems... they don't even see the hatred there is for white people as well. It doesn't count...

what is wrong with people??

he doesn't exactly make a compelling presentation of his argument. But is this how the white folks feel nowadays?

my favorite part is when he says "if you act like a gentlemen you get treated with respect" and then promptly spits on the stage.

Something always fascinates me. I'm british, and when I watch other british people on tv, i dont really think they're that interesting or laugh at them or nothing, probably because they have the same accent as me. But when I watch american tv, I find it interesting and laugh at different things, mainly because their accents make it funny and i like the accent. But I always wondered what americans think when watching american movies and tv. Most of them laugh at something in it, and I always wonder why they find their own "accent partner" so funny. just as funny as other countries find it. And do americans notice that the movie stars have the same accent as them when watching them on movies?

Why do americans don't like to listen to music they dont understand?..because many people form other foreign countries listen to music in ENGLISH yes in english and they still like it plus they don't understand a word what english songs say...Why are americans so self-centered and never listen to the other wonderful music out there, and it doesn't have to be in english but in spanish, french, italian, portuguese.
Many latinamerican groups try to crossover but they can't beacuse americans don't like foreign language music, whic to make it in the U.S music market they forcely have to sing in english...could this mexican pop group be successul in the american market?...would americans accept them?...is it the type of music americans listen to?

The other day I was walking down the street and a hooded Klansmen asked me if I were gay. I told him that no, I was straight and so not his type. But I felt bad about letting him down so I offered him a cigar. He took it and slid it under his hood and into his mouth. I took a lit match and slipped it under his hood to light the cigar. Well the cigar lit up but the smoke all stayed inside the hood, except for what leak out of the eyeholes. The smoke made him started coughing, and a minute later his hood started to smolder. Then, a few seconds later, the hood went up in flame. Rather than take the hood off, he started to run, yelling about wanting some water. Anyhow, he sprinted off into the distance, finally disappearing around a corner. I haven't seen him since. Has anyone seen a Klansmen with a burning tenthat? I'm kind of worried about the little fella.

why is there a perception that pit bulls raised to fight are dangerous? They are probably better trained than average pits because they are routinely handled by humans.

They are only dangerous to other dogs.

So if using the words "colored" or "*****" to describe African-Americans is considered racist, any ideas on why the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) or the United ***** College Fund still use those racist terms? I think they should change their name to reflect non-racist views.
