Why don`t they?Sure they have olive skin,but when compared to the skin color of nonwhite races such as Mexicans and Indians,olive skin is a lot whiter!And Mediterranean people are not only European,or at least have the gene structures of Europeans,the Mediterraneans were the first Western people around(Greece was the first Western civilizationa and its people are olive skinned)!So why don`t they consider olive white?Why don`t they consider Arabs(considering most of them have olive skin and look Mediterranean) white?Why don`t Americans consider Mediterranean culture(especially Greek) White?And why do people on this website keep saying that Mediterranean people have black ancestors?There is no proof for this!Please reply!
Ad Details
1)Go to Europe,and you`ll notice that Mediterranean people (including Arabs) consider themselves white!
2)Europeans with lighter skin than loiv skin(Ex.Scandinavians,Germans,French,Irish, and British) consider olive-skinned Mediterranean people white!

When I was thirteen years old I started to have the idea about a place where people would live together in a different way than in this society. They would do things they like to do and not just for themselves but for the well of others. They would express themselves freely and also in an artistic way. Finding out about themselves as the most important ‘work’ because knowing that we are all in a growing process, to free ourselves to connect with spaces beyond ourselves. I designed places like this and years later I studied architecture still with the same vision. Then life took over for twelve years with family life, making money, etc. until this finished and I found a beautiful place in midst of unspoiled nature. I bought this land and started to realize my dream. The first years I build up the place. Some times alone, some times with paid workers. When the buildings were finished I offered the place to therapy groups. This went on for a few years.

I saw a big thing on tv about sexual assault in sport. They were talking about guys in sport such as football, soccer, cricket, etc, who tend to assault girls in teams (of 2 or more guys) especially when they are touring away from homeground.
Understandably, anyone who is sexually assaulted is a victim and receives sympathy. But what do you think about those girls who could have avoided the situation? One-night-stands - you meet a guy for the first time (whether or not you know their face from tv) and decide to go to their hotel room for the night, that's a huge risk! You don't know what (or who) they have waiting for you back in that room.
This is in no way an excuse for the guys to assault girls, but I find it very hard to sympathise with someone who goes to a someone else's hotel room for a one-night-stand when you don't know them.
This is not just about sport.. it could be ANYONE you decide to have a one-nighter with. He could be a psycho murderer!
Girls please be careful!

I am in the Army and I am now stationed overseas and I met so many people from so many different colors, and backgrouns and you know what? When you're overseas you realize that we're all Americans to every body else and they all look at us as a single group of people.

Here overseas you really stick to black or mexican or white or whatever type of American regardless of skin color because they are Americans like u and all of a sudden that black white or latino person who u used to see as a different race back in the US becomes sort of your people because u two come from the same country which is the US

I interacted with so many people from different races and we're all so similar in the end, perhaps because we're all Americans so we have more or less the same kind of values and mentality which is very different from the Africans and Europeans I've met so far.

Trust me us Americans aren't much like europeans or africans, we more similar to one another than to these folks.

I am Puerto Rican, and the way I was raised was to appreciate my culture and also to get along with all kinds of people, regardless of race. For most of my life I lived up north in Bronx, NY and for only about a year now I've been living down south in Florida. I will admit for the most part I was used to living around a more Latino/Black setting but I was able to get along with people of different races. Whites, blacks, Latinos, different kinds. Down here in the south is alot more different than what I was expecting. Alot more white kids down here seem to be a little more racist than white kids I knew in NY. Since that point where I realized that most of them are racist, I just never associated with any. Or even talk to them. The people I mostly associate with are Latino or black and they're all from New York. Now I have nothing against any race of any kind, but how can I prove I am not a racist if most of these white kids are racist??

Most whites that "claim" to be proud are just really racist.

They can't just be proud of who they are, because they dislike themselves, so it makes them feel better to talk about other races.
I know this will be deleted cause I'm speaking the truth..I don't really care
THANK YOU :)

i was born in 1991 and im so used to being constantly treated like a child that i feel like everyone around me is trying to stunt my growth somehow. When i meet an adult everything is fine until they find out i was born in the 90's and that somehow freaks them out. im worried that to grown-ups people born in the 90's will always be kids.

I've seen slaughter houses kill cows & blood goes everywhere & the cows bellow in agony then their eyes go glassy & their tongue hangs out & then they hit the ground, stone dead. Are the bull fights simular? It was reall exciting to see where my hamburger came from.

i go to a predominantly white school and i am black and i am sick of the stereotypes presented by the two different cultures that i am active in. when i hang out with my [black] family they call me white girl n say im sort of stuck up but when i am with friends at school they think i am ghetto and ask me questions about the black culture. this never bothered me before but now it is really getting old. i wish people didnt think that if you are white and you like "black" music you are trying to be white or vice versa. if you have any answers or opinions on this please respond. thanks.

You are only a part of the middle class, if you have at least $100,000 in your savings account! as assets and equity do not count!

Look at a Pyramid, for example, the lower class are at the base and are more in number than the middle and upper class

I love being an upper class citizen... what about you? :)

I am from Colombia and it's so irritating to hear Americans calling me spanish

Spanish is a person from a european country named spain..... just like you Americans are not english people!!! I am not spanish

neither I am mexican, my culture and origins are totally different

isnt it worrysome that so many Americans can be so uninformed of anything beyond their TV sets?

by the way..... US born latin people are just as ignorant, it's so funny to go to NYC and see people of puerto rican or dominican descent who arent even of spaniard origin calling themselves spanish.....

... of like eleven or twelve, give or take a couple of years, would you still be able to appreciate the beauty that drew you closer, or would you walk away disgusted with yourself? Did your eyes really decieve you if the girl is truly gorgeous? Do you think this makes you a pedophile if you still admit she's
a hottie?
