Other - Cultures & Groups - October 2007

I have a thing for languages. I mean, I'm totally addicted to them. So went to this polyglot party and there was this Polish girl there who started challenging me, going from one language to the next and when I kept up with her through several of them she said in a condescending tone(that I'm sure I didn't take wrong because others at the party had similar stories), "You're pretty smart for a black guy.", to which I replied, "Well, you're not so stupid...for a Polish girl, by the way, how's your German?"( I said this in German). And the room went quiet. My date said I was rude but I think my response was par for the course.

When a white person wants to go to college there parents just usually write a check out for them.

When a black person wants to go to college they have to get a job WHILE in school. They have to juggle paying bills, studying, and going to work. It is much harder for a black person to go to school then a white person.

I'm not talkin about white people with brown or dark brown skin. I'm talkin about BLACK PEOPLE. (the soul of a black person doesn't depend on the skin it depends on how proud you are of BLACK heritage and how much you know about BLACK history, and how you stand up and support fellow blacks with struggles in life(such as racism) THAT SHOWS PRIDE) You don't have to have DARK brown skin to be black in my book, you can be as white as snow :)

Friend of mine used to say "Stay black" to his goth friends as a conversaion closure (like "peace out" or something like that). It seems kinda funny that white people can say "stay black" and mean it as in evil/dark or goth-black rather than African (American) black.

What do you think?

Like they agree to have heard any news about or any english song (even if they havn't sometimes) but they'll always say no for any hindi one as if knowing it'll put them down. I think they must learn to respect their country and people before claiming themselves to be patriots. They just blindly think that people in the west are modern so they'll always be right and its cool to be like them. According to me if you think there's anything wrong then you must try to correct it instead of trying to show that you're not related. That's gross and double standard.

Where is racism first learned from: parents, the media, or history?

In September 1992, I went to a predominant white public school, beginning the sixth grade. I recall this one day my mother dropped me off at school. As I walked towards the flagpole, this group of white children shouted out ‘Chink’ to this Asian family dropping off their children. As the parents of that family drove away, those mean white children spit on their car and pulled their eyes to the side, telling the family to go back where they came from.

I was disturbed to see this one naïve 12-year-old white girl with blonde hair, blue eyes, and freckles participate with that ignorant crowd. A month ago, she had given a speech in front of her class titled “Why Diversity is Important” and won an award for it. This girl was a third generation Swedish-American girl who spoke about her ancestors coming to America, learning to make friends with people of different colors.

for example one welfare dependant generation breeds another welfare dependant generation and so on.

Am I seeing more and more people to lazy to work and would rather go on welfare than work or am i wrong and off on another tangent?

I have put forward the idea of drug testing people who are on welfare before they can have acess to welfare payments but what about any other idea?

When children wanna express their opinion ( tell what they want or what their dreams are ) , adults will label them as " childish " or " immature " ? For example, I joined a canoeing class which allows people over 10 years old to participate. There's a 11-year-old classmate and another 30-year-old classmate. They made the same problem while canoeing. Although the 10-year-old kid was good-mannered, My coach gave many " F-word " to the 10-year-old . But he always on the 30-year-old side. He never criticizes him. It seems as if the 30-year-old is old enough in order not to be critisized for any reasons.

Any comments. Share your thoughts and experience. Thanks everybody

Like if a guy wants to wear something other than pants/shorts.
Or if a woman actually asked a guy out or made any sort of first move.
or any number of things someone might want to do that really wouldn't hurt anyone or be lewd.

Black men are dating White women
White men are dating Asian women

seems like Black women and Asian men are left over.

I think I read in a website that bw and am have the worst
marriage rates.

My question is,
1. Why do you think certain types of IR dating is more common than others
2. What do you think will happen to black women or asian men in the future?

Just wondering.

I find most couples if they adopt overseas it is mostly asian and a girl.

I would also assume that african boys are the least to be adopted due to the stereotypes that exist (they are violent)

why do you think this trend is so?
