Same reason I can't ask why most nail technicians are Vietnamese, or why most convenience stores are owned by Arabs, or why Asians are notoriously bad drivers, or why there are black student unions and not white student unions, why "African-Americans" have Jet and Ebony magazines and white people can't have Ivory magazine, or White Entertainment Television. People in the majority aren't allowed to ask questions or show pride or have our own publications that are labeled as such.

Because everything you stated has to do with environment not race or religion. If you take any person with limited or no education place him or her in a country devasted by war what do you think his options are. Africa has child soldier because they teach them to be that.

The same is true with blacks in basketball. Drive by any neighborhood in a predominately black neighborhood you will not find a shortage of basketball courts. Kids grow up believing that the way out of poverty for them is through sports. There aren't a lot of black professionals in black neighborhoods.

As far as Asians they are raised that way, that is why they have a higher propensity for suicide when they fail. i.e. Virginia Tech.

So you your premise was a bit stereotypical, instead of looking at the people, examine the environment. That is also why vocal Klansmen tend to be what you people call "white trash," because they have nothing to loose.

The pilgrims were the illegal aliens of their day. Should we all go back where our ancestors came from?
Did you forget about the Crusades? Talk about a propensity for violence!
The Inquisition? Now there was a sweet time!
O.K. Asians are smart, but if we all took education as seriously, we would all be smart.
Basketball players are black?!?!?! No way!

You may not be racist in the purest form, but you are ignorant for placing groups of people in neat little slots when most do not fit.

Because you insist on lumping entire races into your catagories. You probably live in the white suburbs and spend all of your time with your white friends. They are not facts they are generalizations

Because those people don't like your views and decide to label you as racist because your views don't coincide with theirs.

Because you are a bigotted racist and you need to stop wasting our time with your silly asinine "questions", as you like to call them. You are one of those twits who like to hear themselves rant on and on about nothing important and expect others to be impressed with your insight and intellect, neither of which you possess, judging from your remarks...

How do you figure the first one is a Fact. The second is an opinion and opinions are like as*holes every one is entitled to one but the first statement does reek of racism

when you spout something like that you should back up your claim with sources. a true warrior fights with facts.

until then, you will be labeled a racist because people don't like your opinion.

A lot of conservatives like to say that, "Not every Muslim is a terrorist, but every terrorist is a Muslim" which is entirely incorrect. You use a derivative of that factual inaccuracy.
