I ask this because everytime you turn around there is a negative racist comment made towards black and hispanic people, but whites are always trying to sing soulful, dance soulful, salsa, have ethnic features and enjoy mexican food dishes. Why is that? I really want to know....Answer with intellectuality. This is not an attack!

I really dont know. I think it may be an issue of jealousy in some cases. People of different coultures are appreciated because of all of the things they do (entertainment, food & physical features) I mean, to me it makes sense that people call them names because they are jealous that they are just "white" or whatever. I think that some people are immature and dont care what they say, so they say what they think is "cool" to say.

Well to be honest every culture imitates each other... To say copy is wrong... As far as soulful singing is only by the African Americans is completely wrong.. What about the Irish, Italian, Russians, and so many more.... And as for the clothing.. Styles of clothing repeats itself through out history... As for a type of music back in the day they had Southern Rock as in The Allman brothers,Lynard Skynard, and others now country today sounds like southern rock back then.. It also doesn't have to do with Jealousy. Who ever gave that answer is obviously a close minded bigamist... Not to mention completely stupid....

It is just a fashion, all cultures feed into and off one another. It has been suggested that all popular music owes its origin to Gospel singing and that style of music is one that ***** slaves picked up from Scots immigrants, on some Scottish Islands they still sing in a style that Gospel Singers would recognise. In fact a choir of such went and sang to a Gospel choir and it was quite an eye opener for both choirs. I don't try to dance like anyone else, I have my own style, and if it makes everyone else laugh then I have bought them enjoyment! The English are particularly eclectic, just look at our language, you'll find French, German, Norse, Saxon, Latin, Greek, Polish, Indian, Kiswahili and many other influences. Our architecture is similarly diversely influenced as is our furniture and decor. Such a range of cultural inputs doesn't lessen the culture but makes it broader, deeper and richer.

The nice thing about living among different cultures is trying new things and finding a mix between the races that works for an individual.
For instance, I love Chinese and Mexican food. I can appreciate their culture and try different things. I have no desire to eat pot roast for the rest of my life because I am white.
The same can apply to music, clothing, art, television, etc.
Not all white people are negative towards other races...and there are races who are negative towards whites. It depends on the individual.
I myself, will not stop ordering enchiladas or chicken lo-mein because there are a lot of stupid and negative people out there who don't want to live and let live.
Life is an experience...live it...even if it means enjoying gospel music while eating a fajita in your sari, while dancing a rhumba with Tony Soprano.

i've got have been given a greater proper question. Why do you keep conserving race? I advise heavily, who cares? pay attention, all you're doing is conserving stereotypes which you develop into conscious of as being racist, whilst all alongside the only individual being racist is you. Get some genuine instruction. i'm white (sorry, i replaced into born that way) i don't be conscious of a residing soul that thinks that Blacks are to any extent further proper at singing and dancing than the different race. and that i stay contained in the mid-west, the place racism is meant to be rampant.

Usually, the people immitating African American and other cultures appreciate what the group has to offer. I'll even step out and say that they are envious of that culture/race. I rarely see a racist person immitating another culture. I just wish we could stop saying "why do *insert group* people do this," and stop group-off and generalizing entire races.

Because white people that are racist,
know that Blacks and Hispanics are better
in a lot of things, that´s because they are jealous, and the Whites
that are not racists want to be like them coz they don´t care
about what the people says

How about because we are all people and maybe no one is coping an ethnic group but the person as an individual that they wish they could be like

Not all Black people can dance and sing, and not all White people try to be Hip Hop. Those are stereotypes.
All people should be able to do and be who/what makes them comfortable without being criticized.
