i asked two questions, both of them wondering why minorities were afraid of the white man. the answer were interesting and those questions are still up for further research.Lets say that this question was asked by three college professors to see what groups would respond in the most passionate way. Never did this question state that all minorities fear the white man or that prejudice was ever justified but it seems, and by avatar only, that ethnic and female respondents where the most distressed by this notion. No one was upset or sensitive to the fact that white men were called ugly, stupid, uncoordinated or weak. This was a two part question and we, the three organizers have in one hour seen a trend of ethnic and female avatars respond in an oversensitive manner and misconstrue the question to label "us" as racist. This method, although not scientific could show that women and minorities are more susceptible to feelings of inferiority. Thier responses to the questions were bolder

nice response ma'am you did in fact punch holes in the very unscientific expiriment but still you shifted the question away from the topic why were no "White avatars " offended by very racial topics. And passionate response do tend to indicate greater feeling towards a issue. However your right to say it is a ridicoulous assumption to assume these feelings are fear. if you were in class i would have given you a B+ you didnt prove in its entirity that the question is bogus and you still didnt deal with whats asked...

so what you're trying to say is that this is a scientific experiment based on little pictures that are inconclusive proof that women and minorities are the ones who react to your ludicrous statements, you have proved your hypothesis that "minorities fear the white man." interesting. good tactic by pointing out that anyone who responded in a manner other than what you wanted to see is "oversensitive"; thereby indicating that their responses prove they are "more susceptible to feelings of inferiority". I must have missed the case study that linked sensitivity to feelings of inferiority.

I had nothing to do with any of your questions, but I ran into this one. I can tell you that on other questions posted by other people I have been quite lengthy in my response when white people were attacked.

If women responded in some particular way I don't necessarily believe you can jump from that to assuming they are more prone to feelings of inferiority. Bolder answers could simply mean the answerer is disgusted and angry at someone the answerer believes is passing on bad information about race.
