Yes. There are good and bad people in every race. Unfortunately, the bad ones get all the attention and people start thinking that everyone of that race is like that.

Most people confuse race with culture. Race may determine what genetic attributes you have but it doesn't determine who you are. A geneticly related peoples general societal norms,, that is, there culture on the other hand, may have a large effect on how people act and think. Some poeple don't like other peoples cultures, and confuse this with genetics, which is stupid. every cuture ahs it's advantages and disadvantages, just like any other system, but the are in no way controlled by genetics. If you understand this you can avoid the trap of becoming a "racist' which is a trap do to a lack of understanding between culture and race.

Yes, I certainly believe this. I am a black female and I know that there are a lot of things that my race need to improve on. The problem is that other races pretend that their race does not have the same problems such as welfare, laziness, etc. There is no one characteristic that is exclusive to one race. Rest assured that each and every race has the same problems in their communities just on a different scale.

Hmmm...I think cultures have their pros and cons. Sort of like families...Like a family has a way of doing things and when you go over to their house their way of doing things seems odd to you, because it's not the way you do things. Maybe it's even unfamiliar enough that it seems wrong. Also, families have pride. Like, "My daddy's bigger than your daddy." etc.
Well, I think cultures are like that on a bigger scale. The way they do things may seem odd or even exclusionist (is that a word?) and arrogant. Those attitudes can make others feel bad, like outsiders and hateful.
So, race? Not really I think it's more culture, or just people that you feel are like you in some way.

Not really. Every race is great and the only thing that makes them different are their cultural backrounds. I wouldn't want to trade my race for another race, and I'm sure many people feel the same way.

I don't believe it's the race with the pros and cons. It's the stereotypes of those races. Whatever your race is, sometimes you have to overcome those stereotypes, and even use them to your advantage.

Yes, a pro is if you start in like 1st through 8th (you will have a better chance). A con is if you start in last place. Another pro is if you have a good pit crew.

All races are human and the same: Human Being.
Human Being are all the same if growth in the same environment.
The proper Q should be: '. ..every culture has it's... '
