Hard......everything thinks you are racist, so you have to ALWAYS be vigilant and on the defensive to PROVE you are not an ignorant, racist, redneck.
A lot of white people don't know their history, so they just think of "white"as who they are....a lot of us don't know about the racism WE had to face when our Irish Great Grandmother came to America and was humiliated and made fun of the way black people were. They don't KNOW about their Jewish Grandfather who narrowly escaped death in the conentration camps......
People (including themselves) just see WHITE skin so they equate it with things that are FAR FAR FAR from the truth.
I think if white people knew more about their own pasts we would find that we have a lot more to relate to with black people that either race relizes

When I lived in Ghana, all eyes were on me. But I'm from the inner city, and I hate it when suburban white people who talk with the dude/valley girl accents complain about Ebonics as if the way they talk doesn't sound completely ignorant and annoying. So I guess its not that different. There are people that are your same complexion that completely annoy and embarrass you. Like the old man I met at this Burger stand in Mexico who was talking about "beaners". I wanted to tell him "Get away from me, you are a guest in THEIR country!" So while I'm proud of my Anglo-Saxon roots, that we built a great civilization by picking and choosing what we liked from the Mainland European culture, and that people in some countries will spend half their paycheck just to learn my language, I'm a little bit like Chris Rock, CRACKERS HAVE GOT TO GO!!!!
Biologically, sometimes I wish I were not Black, but Samoan. A Samoan can live in Compton or Utah and everyone is a Samoan's friend because they are too big to have as enemies! I also wish I had stayed out of the sun more when I was younger so I could lie about my age now. If you haven't noticed, white people start to wrinkle about the same time that they stop listening to Hip-Hop/Reggae or whatever and admit to voting Republican, which is part of why I'm one of those so called "slackers who won't grow up."
Caucasian? I am White but I'm not Caucasian. Caucasians are from Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan. Its like calling a Black American an Ethiopian. Unless you're a Rastafarian or a member of the Ethiopian Orthodox church, you probably don't want to be called an Ethiopian. By the way, I was baptised into the Ethiopian Orthodox church, because the nearest British Orthodox Church is all the way over in Britain and we share the same doctrine. So I guess you could call me a White Ethiopian Orthodox but not a Caucasian.

Welllll......I have to use SPF100 so I don't burn in the sun; after years of weightlifting, I still can't see definition in my muscles; I'm called Honky every day I go to work; I'm constantly told that I can't dunk a basketball; and they always make me sit next to the Albino for the annual company pictures. Yeah, I love being a Caucasian. Thanks for asking.

what do you mean how does it feel? we should all be equall and feel the same. It feels normal to me... if you were, you might feel a little different but the good people should be treating you the same based on you personality

sistagirl why in the world are you asking this racist question? Are you trying to start another "racial" war on here? I don't think it would matter since ALL of us are"slaves" to our imperfections thanks to our selfish parents, Adam & Eve. All of us are dealing with problems the best way we can.

I have pride in the fact that it was the Whites that essentially built the modern world and everything in it. Whether it be the engine, cars, computers, airplanes, antibiotics, the internet, television, radio, telephone, electricity, sending man into outer space, etc.
It's quite remarkable what Whites have done, in terms of technological progression, when compared to other groups. The achievements of Whites in the past couple of centuries are nothing short of amazing.
