I have been visiting other Y!A links this week and shocked to see how many racial questions involving stero-typing and bigotry that are asked in countries outside the USA by USA Y!A participants. These questions (and answers), if posted in the USA, would be more likely get reported for violation (and receive thumbs down). Just curious about any theories as to why and if this seems the case to others?

Kelly Bundy, Smart! You do bring up a point...each English speaking country has the option (bottom right side of screen) to select either All English Speaking Questions or only the ones from its own country.
This means your question may be read by any other English speaking country that choses the option. Your question will post along with their questions. Our little Q&A chats may not be as private as we think. Several other countries have the ability to listen to us.
However, some of our fellow country avatars, go a posting in other lands with specific questions. "I'm a US of A citizen and want to know if your opinions matches mine ... do you have this race situation in your country too (following some stero-type or even using racial slurs).
Thanks for bringing up that point. 'Preciate.

I can honestly say that some ppl take things out of context. I asked a question and someone said it was a racist remark against mex. ppl, well I am a mex. and wasn't meant to be insultive at all so I removed the question myself so that I wouldn't accidentaly hurt anyone.. yes, there is racism out there but there are few who are sensative to those questions

It doesn't matter where they are posted all english questions show up on the same page, 1 in 4 people in America is racist.
It is a proven fact.
