Okay so basically..i c a big double standard.

Asians, indians, and even white people lighten there skin and it is just seen as another beauty regimen.

but when a black person lighten there skin it is a disgrace?

isn't it the same thing as whites wanting that golden tan?? SOme will fry themselves until it reaches that color..KNOWING that they will eventually turn back to the original color?

What is the big deal..?? Why is there such a stigma on black folks who lighten?

I'm black by the way..just asking out of curiosity??

Black people with sense dont hide criminals, dont marry thugs, dont put their familys and careers on the line for a criminal (ie the stereotype that blacks dont snitch)

I mean when are people going to stop lumping us together. They dont do this with any other race. When a white person or asian person does some thing no one asks "is the whole race like that also?"

Factors that could influence this perception are, the media, gender socialization and stereotypes.

Apparently liberals want quotas on who can be sent to prison..

Blacks are a minority of the US population, yet commit a majority of the crimes- hence the majority of prison inmates are black.

Blacks and liberals insist this is rascist- they think there should be just as many whites in jail as blacks..

How is the fact that blacks commit more crimes, are caught, tried and imprisoned proof that the jails are racist against blacks?

They have banned me several times as well as many other people. They like to remove questions left and right as well, like my question on why yahoo tortures chinese journalists (with a reputable link).

People from France are French, people from Germany are Germans, but they are both European. People from Japan are Japanese and China are Chinese, but both are Asian. Why are people from Mexico not considered American. Isn't Mexico part of North America? Aren't Mexicans also Americans?

why do people think asian women are pretty/sexy or whatever? i'm asian myself, so i'm not racist or whatever....i just don't understand it.

sometimes, i just think that they're all talking about only a tiny group of pretty asian girls, and kinda forgetting about the less good looking and nerdier ones...

no guys have really shown any interest in asian girls (this goes for ALL of my asian friends), but you here about this "yellow fever" and people saying asian women are "hot" and stuff...

thanks for answering! but if you...

*are racist
*just tell me to see a shrink or something
*say "it's cuz all your friends and you are ugly"

please don't answer the question...i'm fine with honest people, but any of THOSE kind of people are NOT honest. :)
