Do white people Always wash their hands?

Question

i try not to make broad generalizations about people but it seems that the white people i work with don't like to wash their hands after being in the bathroom.I think it;s sick and i am a germaphobe so it aggravates me...but i don't want to ask them if they washed their hands because it might embarrassed them.

Even when i was a daycare teacher it seemed like the white kids always "forgot" to wash their hands!

don't call me a rasict just answer the question!!!

I'm not a rasict...don't be mean to me!

ok let me clarify for the for the slow people...i am not a racist (i promise)...i am just trying to ask a honest question...and no i don't watch people, the dryer in the bathroom is broke and thereis never any paper towels so if you wash your hands your hands would be wetor at least damp (my co-workers hand are dry after they exit which leads me to believe that they don't wash their hands...i don't watch people while they are in there,i observe them after they exit and return to the office...which is a straight shot from the bathroom.

Don't try to accuse me on the sly...i wash my hands and no i don't work in a resturaunt...i work in an office

Answer 1

I don't usually make generalizations either but the two white people at my work place ALSO forget to wash their hands. The entire staff at our school knows it and everyone's disgusted by it. Since we work with children it only makes things worse. But really, besides those two, I don't know.

The reality is that most people don't to wash their hands as often as they should. Most kids don't wash their hands as often as they should either. That's why we have flu and cold outbreaks at school.

If you're really grossed out by it. get some Purell or Germ X and use it between hand washings.

Answer 2

I think it's a class question, not race. I see white and black and hispanics not wash their hands. I also see these people throw trash on the ground. They are lazy and don't care about others. If your family is middle class, you prob were taught to wash your hands. but everywhere I go now, people use paper towels to open the door. apparently, they've seen the same thing and don't want to touch the door!

Answer 3

Do you watch everyone, or just the white people to see if they wash their hands? Do you feel that you don't have to watch the black people because you "know" they'll wash their hands without fail? You need to get a grip. I'd be willing to bet that the percentages are the same for all races. I don't think washing your hands is a genetic thing.

Answer 4

If you don't want to be called a racist don't ask a question that singles out a race. Especially when you put "forget" in quotation marks like you're accusing the kids of being dirty on purpose or something. People aren't going to appreciate you asking if anything is a "white thing" just like people get offended if you say rice is an "asain thing" or something else like that. I think people forget that white people can be victims of racism as much as minorities, people just don't react to it as badly because either they think it is justified or they just act like racism against whites is an oxymoron. But if you think about what you just said, it pretty much proposes a stereotype and so if you dont like being stereotyped dont try to stereotype others. Plus its just a stupid question to ask.

Answer 5

Answer 6

This one guy said to me once when I was leaving a bathroom. "Where I come from we wash our hands after we go to the bathroom." I replied "Where I come from, we don't pee on our hands."

LOL

Seriously though, I think most white people and people in general wash their hands "most" of the time after going to the bathroom I know I do.

Answer 7

he he ... that's funny.

If your question read "Do white people EVER wash their hands?" ... you'd get a new ******** ripped ...

but, being that it sounds like a stupid question, most people probably won't bother answering it. Bummer ...

Maybe the white people that work with you really don't like you and they're hoping your ignorant a-ss will be so grossed out, that you'll QUIT!!!!

And you were a daycare teacher? yikes ...

28 answers so far!! Perhaps I was mistaken ... you may get a new ****** after all ...

Answer 8

I get where you are coming from.
I don't think that it is bad to ask the person whether they have washed their hands or not.
I am 'white' and I always, ALWAYS wash my hands.
Kids, are kids, and they ALWAYS forget to wash their hands. If you are embarressed about asking whether or not they have washed their hands, say (jokinly but serious if you get me)

"Did you wash your hands?"

I was in this situation a couple of days ago and this worked for me, and the person I was talking to was NOT offended.

Good luck

I additionally see white men under no circumstances washing their palms while they flow to the bathing room. it truly is unsanitary with the aid of fact they save touching stuff and that i've got considered it a million/2 my life and not in any respect knew why....

Answer 10

Since you're a germaphobe, you'd probably get skeeved out even if they did wash their hands.

Based on your experiences, it sounds like black people wash their hands more than white people.

I have my own experiences, but I won't post them so as to prevent further support for black stereotypes.
