Other - Cultures & Groups - September 2007

no i just had to ask this question becuase i met this black man a few days ago who told me about his life in russia he was a university proffesser who came from Nigeria. he told me just to ensure his safety from racist groups he never took public transit ,he never stayed out of home after 9 o'clock and although he was married to a russian woman they could never go out in stores together or anywhere for that fact otherwise they ould have been subject to verbal abuses or even worser things.
so what do african americans that claim to suffer racism think about that?

Is it possible to be kinda weird and ugly as a child, but each year after 14 you seem to improve? Like when you are 18, people consider you really pretty? Isn't that called ugly duckling syndrome?

fail to realize how much better off they are than 90% of the world?

For example, a person will post on here that they are contemplating suicide because they are not popular, and they feel they should not live - but fail to realize that there are people in Darfour, for example, who clearly have horrible conditions, but WANT to live, they are not suicidal, and they are in horrible living conditions, and have none of the luxuires that ANYONE on YA has - why do they fail to make that simple comparison before spouting?

I think that if you love a person it doesn't matter what race he is, same or different race. That's why i say and it seems people don't agree. I have dated interracially before, but i also would date someone Hispanic. Doesn't personality matter more than race?

Any ideas on how we can learn something about Hispanic, specifically Mexican heritage?

Just wondering what stereotypes people honestly believed about other cultures are races... most have a few whether they have ever vocalized them or not. Like some people believe all asians are smart... I don't but some do... some people believe all black people can dance... and well they can't... there are some that aren't so positive that people believe as well... so what are yours... I mean no one here knows you so let it out. I've always wondered. There are even some about your own ethnicity you might think true... I only ask because I think they are at the root of racism, that and a some other things that would take a term paper to asses, and maybe through dialog we can laugh them off and debunk them for some people.

I go to a university and it seems like it is segregated! The few blacks that do go to my school all hang out in groups, and the whites are all in their groups. Occasionally you might see a group of white students and one black guy/girl in there. Yup...only one!
All the asians are in groups too!


And no...I dont hang in groups; I still really dont know anyone yet but I do know that Im not just going to make friends with people of my own race! Its crazy! Here you'd see a sea of white students walking around, and then a small group of black students standing together.
Why is it this way?

I'm an anglophile Irishman, and I've read a lot about Englishness over the years. I just wanted to ask English folk, what do you think are the key traits of Englishness? And if you could name one as the most important, what would it be?

Would you continue to date someone who you have feelings for, when you know (say you can tell the future) that his/her family would have a problem with you not being of 'their own kind'? Would you continue to date him/her when you know they wont be mentally and emotionally strong enough to handle family, peer and societal pressure, when there comes a need for that. You can share your experiences, if you have any interesting ones. NO RACIST COMMENTS please.

I've been living here all my life, and the thing I've never gotten is this: We give Indians, women, black people, and Asians the benefit of th edoub,t if something happens to them, it's because of their race according to them. Yet, if things happen to white males, we can't make those claims.

The minority groups also have special privileges we never had. I feel predjudiced against from being white and male. Why is America so dumb to this?



and I almost forgot to mention, they can makes things like "College for the Black people of America" "Womens college" ect.
Yet, if their was a "White college" the Brown vs. Board of Education ruling and law would be brought up.

I noticed... at school.. in class... on the bus... all the black girls always are 1. putting on lotion 2. asking if anyone has any lotion....
