Other - Cultures & Groups - November 2007

As much as i would like to think so, i dont think it will ever end.

Aside from peoples personal beliefs and ideas, what about groups like the NAACP (just as and example, not picking out). Seems like as long as there are groups aimed towards specific ethnicities, its not going to end. Not to say that is the reason it exists but does it help the problem?
Even tests in schools where you have to tell them your race. . i dont get it . . it shouldnt matter especially in schools . . i'm half "white" and asian . . but i'm required to say that i am asian when asked . . and as bad as sad as this is, i know nothing about my asain culture or background . . but i still have to say i'm asain.

Its one of those age old questions that will probably be around for ages to come. What are your thoughts?

So I'm just wondering what others think. If someone immigrates to America, do you think that it is only right that they should learn and speak English?

Of course, do not lose your cultural background, but I think that they should.

Don't call me a racist.
Don't call a bigot.
Don't call me prejudice.
It's just an asking for opinions, so calm down.

Thanks for reading! :))))

The label ethnic is applied to various people, as well as things such as food, jewelry, hair, artwork etc. There is even a group on yahoo that is labeled "Ethnic Food" I've often wondered about this labeling, and how it applies if at all to White people, particularly those in the West, or if it is indeed a category for all things non-white?

Serioiusly.. people are always saying we are all the same.... bullshit. We are not the same... different races have many differences, but I have yet to see a difference that makes one race better than the other. We should all examine and reflect on our differences. Then we can truly accept and respect them. I am sickened at the amount of hate that still exists out there between us. And it comes from all races, people want to demonize the white racists more than others I think, but to me they are all equal in their stupidity. I am 'white' and I am proud of my family's heritage and background. I also see and greatly respect the heritage, trials and tribulations of other cultures. We all inhabit this speck of dust floating in the cosmos and we will never further our race, the human race, until we can all work together. Think about this for a second... if all nations got along and worked together we would easily be inhabiting Mars by now and God knows what else. I am out of charachters now

I notice this happening here even on Yahoo answers. This is a free country so I assume people should be able to date who they want without some racists yelling down their throats. I cant count how many times I have been treated harshly by some black guys when they see Im with a black woman. Why are people so backwards?

I haven't seen a fat avatar on yahoo answers yet. Or an old one for that matter.
What is yahoo implying?
That we are all young and skinny?
Why is yahoo answers contributing to the raising health problems caused by bad self-image and the mass media?
Should we complain to the execs about having skinny avatars?

I have discussed this with several different women, almost as an experiment. Men always seem to have the same complaint: Why don't women want it more? Why don't they do what I want? Well that is a two part answer--A lot of men are horrible at sex (no foreplay/too quick) and men don't understand that sex is more emotional with women: You can't be rude to a woman all day and expect her to happily jump into bed with you despite what television says. You also can't lay around all day and ignore her except when you decide it's time to be intimate. Sometimes it seems men are a whole other species altogether. Maybe all men should have to take a course in being husbands when they are very young.

Loads of people stereotype people into certain groups. I.e. Emo, goth, chav, townie etc etc
Personally I think it is just like being racist. It's discrimination if you like.
Anyone PROUD to be labelled?
Or do you think everyone has their own personalities and shouldn't be put into 'groups' just by the way they dress and/or music tastes?

What's your view?

Couldn't it simply be that someone else was more qualified?

I'm a fat (oops, full figured) white male with 4 college degrees. Do I get to play the fat card, or do I just have to suck it up and say I'm not what the employer is looking for?

It has occured to me in seeing many questions on here that, when it comes down to it we are all a part of the human tribe. No matter our origin or roots, we are all of the same being. All opinions are welcome. Can anyone elaborate?

I go to a high school with over 4000 students. We are very diverse and we have students from all over the world. During classes and in the hallways, you see students of different races talking together and you can tell they are good friends.
However, you walk into our huge cafeteria, and toward the back are the whites, to one side are the asians, to another side are the hispanics, to one end are the blacks...and so forth.
Why do you think this is?

This is a serious question. What is it that makes people think that they are ugly. I know that some people are told that they are, and people see figures in the media and compare themselves to them. But what is it that makes people believe that they are really ugly and unattractive. Do you have to believe you are ugly to be ugly...if so then why not think the reverse and think that you are gorgous. Please answer
