IF A WHITE PERSON GOES TO A DIFFERENT COUNTRY, SHOULDNT THEY BE CONSIDERED ETHNIC BY THAT GROUP OF PEOPLE. IM SICK AND TIRED OF WHITE PEOPLE CONSTANTLY TRYING TO SEGREGATE THEMSELVES FROM HUMANITY AS IF THEY ARE A SPECIAL RACE. TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT THE WORLD THEY ARE REALLY THE MINORITY! STOP USING THE WORD ETHNIC, ITS RACIST. P.S. I AM NOT A RACIST.

You are absolutley right! I do believe everyone is ethnic in this world. But unfortunatley for races other than whites we are always bashed because we have different hair, skin, and traditions. I understand the word ethnic, but its starting to become another N word slowly, and i find it wrong.

Wow, what ship did you just get off of? Actually whites do consider themselves ethnic. If you don't believe me try distinguishing the difference between Caucasians, and Caucasians who practice Judaism. I am sure by me just saying that I will be banned. Italians and Russians definitely do not categorize themselves as 'white' like you describe. Time managment is certainly practiced differently in people who decended from Ireland as opposed to people whose ancestors were German. Besides I do not think it would definitely be in your best interest to start pointing the finger at the fairer skinned. Were it not for some of those same fairer skinned people to take pity on other cultures different than themselves, the liberties of the more obscured skinned people would certainly be diminished to menial labor and banishment from any opportunity to better themselves. Hijacking a culture's vocabulary for one's ego can only bring resentment and hatetred.

We do. I've been to countries where I am the minority, and then I consider myself ethnic. I don't know where you're getting your info but the white people you know must be exceptions to the way everyone else is. Please don't have an intolerant attitude and spread it. You say you aren't racism but you say you are "sick of white people constantly" doing this and that...it sounds pretty disdainful and generalizing, and offends me as someone who tries to spread racial tolerance.

well their culture is fairly plain that is why. "ethnic" is such a colorful word that is filled with richness
now blacks culture is a little plain also i admit. we do nothing to honor our african ancestors, as a matter of fact some are even ashamed of them
but what traditions do whites have? what special foods do they have? salad doesn't sound as ethnic as taco...
but yea if they went to brazil they'd be "exotic"

You are a racist. And a hypocrite. I'm white and I want to stay away from racist hypocrites like you.

White people don't have their own food? Umm, what about anything Italian? French? Greek? How about alcohol?

True. Europe is tiny compared to Asia or Africa.
