i m chinese born in hong kong, and i hav being in england since i was 10 and was in australia when i was 7ish.
the thing is i just finished school in Bath (lovely place to live in, beautiful city) and now i m studying in a uni in east london. i hav been in uni for around 6 months and i feel really uncomfortable being around a class of 100ish people and around 95% african and indian. i am not a racist and i know that because in my old school in bath i am friends with everyone (i mean everyone apart from people not nice to me but thats like 2 people)
so is this suppose to be normal feeling for someone having had most of their live living with majority of white. or is it cos i m not settling into there culture or something.

ps this is totally not a racist comment or anything, so if u feel i m being racist i sincerely apologies for it

For example, blacks and latinos discriminating against members of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community

Muslims discriminate against Chirstians and Jews.

Whites discriminate against non-whites

or rich discriminate against the poor.

and the list goes on and on

If you ever noticed a lot of these people feel that their discrimination against other groups is justifiable but when the tables is turn on them they can't deal with it all.

I don't know why oranges are called oranges or why "greens" (which can be used to describe anything from kale to cabbage) are called greens, but I can only assume that it is because they are orange and green. So why don't they call banannas yellows? Why don't they call tomatoes reds? Why don't they call eggplants purples? Why is it that oranges and greens are the only edible plants whith a physically identifying name, whether or not the irony of that name is directly recognized? Also, why is it that people use outward appearance to describe the color of edible plants even when the plants themselves are not that color? For example, people describe apples as being either red, yellow, or green, when in reality all apples have a white interior and only their outer "skins" are red, yellow, and green. The same is true of banannas, cucumbers, squash, and a variety of other edible plants. So why don't people just describe all of these plants as being white?

Some Americans are afraid that the immigrants are going to take over their country even the ones who are legal. What's the big deal if people die. Is not that the United States is going to be completely overpopulated. People die and don't last forever lol and new people come to take their place.

You people are so dramatic.

Heres my question; If your married is birth control okay? If not, can you pull out? If not, do you stop having sex when you have the maximum amount of kids you are comfortable with? I keep seeing these questions about abstinance being the answer. I just don't get it. Am I only supposed to have sex with my wife if we want a baby? What if we are just feeling cooky on valentines day but we already have four kids?

It seems to me she is getting more media coverage than all 3 put together but what did she do so great to deserve suchprestige? James Brown made music history, johnny Cochran was one of the most brilliant attorneys ever and Ed Bradley was a great journalist! These people all contributed positively to American society but were black and what did Anna nicole Smith contribute to our society with all of her wealth? Yet the media will not stop talking about her. mmmmmm I wonder if America values all of its citizens regardless of race? I THINK NOT!!!!!!!!!
