What is the biggest factor that has seen others discriminate you in some way? Your ethnicity? Your gender? Your sexual orientation? -More so than your character?

In other words, have you ever found yourself treated as 'unequal' due to being a women, black, perhaps elderly etc.

Has it affected you?

This may sound wierd but I do. I ask the ladies because I've noticed that women are more comfortable with this than men are.

Up until recently, I was practically pouncing at the idea of having my own little bundle of joy to take care of and love. It was my dream ever since I was a child, to have my own child, someone to baby and take care of and teach, to watch them grow up and -- hopefully -- blossom into a wonderful representation of the human race.

But then I remembered a whole bunch of things.

I have anemia (low red blood cell, high white blood cell variety), asthma, hypoglycemia, and scoliosis. Also, heart problems, cancer, and teeth problems (Mom had denchers when she turn 20) run in my family.

Also, I remember as child feeling -- and still feel -- as if everything that went wrong was my problem, that I could do nothing right, and that I'd never be good enough to do much anything...

... I also remember that my mother and father (well, err, he was supposed to be my father but actually isn't... stupid genetics) broke up because I was going to be born.

I don't want ANY child to have to go -

A lot of his teachings have been taught at many schools in mondern China, right? But aren't there other positive things? I mean, Confucius was a very important man at that time, so he must have done a lot of important things. Are the things being taught effective?

I asked this question and it got deleted.
I don't see any racism in this question as I am a black woman.
I respect anyone who respects me, regardless of race.
Hence, I will ask this question again.

Black women are stereotyped as being either overwieght or loud, ghetto and rude. As a black woman, I fit niether stereotype.

I'm not fat
I'm not ghetto
I'm not loud
I am not rude
I work for a living
I am independent


And as a plus, I know many, many black women that don't fit these stereotypes.

Why do people feel the need to give smart mouthed answers which are usually no help what so ever and sometimes appear abusive. Are these people, sad, selfish or just down right ignorant. I was under the immpresion that these question and answer pages were for people to help one another out. perhaps I am just too naive!

Americans are mostly thought to be quite ignorant about other places of the world. Is that true? I would like to know esp. what you think/know about Europe (where I live) and Muslims/Muslim countres. I already see there is a lot of hatred against Muslims in America, but how many people have a different view? I would also like to know what are your sources by which you form your opinion (media, books, friends.......)

It's politically incorrect for anyone to say what is true because someone might get offended. An example is abortion.

Why not? Mexico has plenty of jobs now due to outsourcing and they will blend in beautifully, they won't be offended by racist imperialists and won't be living in a country that bombs their home countries. What's wrong with that?
I think Mexico needs to enjoy some cultural diversification as well.
