I am curious about white people...?

Question

I am a Lakota Sioux Native American, and a few months ago finally got off my reservation, finished my english lessons, and began attending a public school. Now I am curious about white people in particular because my school is predominately white. Why do white girls want blonde hair? Why do they use the word like ina sentence more than three times? Do white guys only like white girls? Why do some white guys think it is funny to burp and/or fart in public? I am confused to the entire white society, including the fact that many white consider themselves mixed if one half their family is geramn and the other italian. You are still white, no? In indian tribes, you are still indian even though your mother may have been cherokee and your father black foot. Just curious about whites. I love white people they just confuse me.

Answer 1

in order of asking

1. Because they think we men find it more attractive (not true, i prefer dark or red hair)
2. because they have a small vocabulary (like guys who cuss all the time) and can't properly communicate with others
3. different people like different kinds, there is no set rule
4. because they are stupid ... and its not just white guys who do that by the way
5. They are mixed by way of culture and society, not race ... are the Cherokees and Black Foots and Lakota Sioux identical in their heritages and customs? Likewise the Germans, Italians, Irish, and Spanish ...

Answer 2

because... that is how society has made it. It is all about fad. The "like" word in sentences is really old. It used to be called a valley talk. But it is just a standard part of talking now. It is so naturally people dont' even know they do it till the pay attention. As for burping and farting, it is because guys think it is funny. I know it really isn't funny but to other guys it is. Yes strange. the white culture and many others too don't have much on manners any more these days. White is american. There is no such thing as just white. because realy your are white.. The true white. But because you are indian and we are white we have always been mixed with everything. Whites is just a general term. I consider my self white. Even though I am mixed with cherokee indian, Irish, & dutch. I am white. Can I call my self indian? I can, I look it, but am I? As for the blonde hair. Because girls thinks blondes have more fun and think guys will like it. Because people in general always want what they don't have. So if you have dark hair, you will want blonde. I do hair, and I must say sometimes you just get bored with your hair and want to change it up. But really it is because of the Barbie Doll look..... I think. I know this probably didn't help you any but it is my feelings on this whole thing. You have quite alot to learn about the outside society. don't regret your own though, because you have something special with your heritage. Don't forget that.

I can't answer all these question, but I'll give it a try. People (not just white-folk) use the word "like" multiple times because it is an expression that entered popular culture in the '80's and never left. Blonde hair is desirable to some people because they say that blondes have more fun. This is a silly expression that many believe to be true. White guys don't always like only white girls. You have to ask each boy individually because some like latinas, asians or other ethnicities.
It is not just white kids who enjoy farting and burping, most immature kids will do that in Junior high and high school. Some continue to do it throughout college.
White is white, but there are also other ethnic backgrounds that are taken into consideration when (for example) applying for college or interviewing for a job, which is why some people mention it.

Answer 4

It's not just white girls who want blonde hair. I've seen Asians, black, AND whites with blonde hair. Alot of people think that;s attractive. To me that's overkill to wanna be blonde when most ppl are already (I like Reds myself)

The word like can be used correctly if used as intended, but it's mainly because that's how some talk. It's region, not necessarily color. I will admit all ethnicities do seem to have their own quirks, and like it or not this is true.

Dating in general seems to be familiarity. If you're white, in a most white environment most of your developmental years, you may have a white woman. That's what you're comfortable with. I'm mixed with white, most familiar with my white mother and her family, and engaged to a white woman. I have friends of all colors, but the heart wants what it wants. Don't take it personal.

Farting, burping, are rude, but natural things. And anyway that's a universal guy thing. Guys for the most part think it's funny. I am embarrassed if I do it, and try not to in public. They just are immature and have bad manners. It's called toilet humor.

White Americans as a group have their quirks, just like anyone else. Groups of people together, no matter what sex, age, and color all have them. In your experience so far that's what white people are, but when you go where there is a mix, like a big city, you'll be more rounded, and better for it.

As far as your english... I understand you, and can figure out what may be bad grammar to some. As long as I understand you, that's all that should really matter.

Answer 5

ok first of all, girls who are white do not want blonde hair. Thats crazy. The whole thing about blondes is that their easy and stupid... thats not true though, thats just what people think sometimes. And we use "like" more then once in a sentence simply because its a habit... And as far as white guys only liking white girls, i think that has nothing to do with skin color, but with the person. Basically when you say "white" your talking about Americans. Yes it's true that when your american you can say "im italian...im polish" Those are just the heritages. So mostly what your confused with is the American culture... basically guys are pigs- they burp, fart, and want girls with big boobs. Thats just how it is. If you have any more questions do some research on american culture.

Answer 6

First let me say that ALL races are confusing in one way or another. It isn't just white people, and to say so, is considered a stereotype. Do you see how many people were willing to agree with you, here in your answers, and take it a step further in order to be racist against white people? Generalizations do that. They bring out the worst in people.
But as for your actual questions, I will do my best.

Why do white girls want blonde hair?: Well, not all white girls, do. I was born brunette, and I have gone between red or black hair all my life. But I think the obesession with blonde hair is an old American ideal. Blonde haired, blue-eyed girl next door with an apple pie freshly baked. It's an old stereotype that has turned into a new one...now blonde means glamorous, rich, snotty, dumb---think Paris Hilton.

Why do they use the word "like" in sentence?: Well, there are alot of girls who do this, and not all of them are white. It started in the 80's in California, and it used to be called the "Valley Girl" way to speak. It has stuck since then.

Do white guys only like white girls?: Nope. Since you are in a predominately white school, I imagine you see a lot of white couples, which is logical. But no, white men enjoy girls of every race and color.

White guys think it is funny to fart/burp in public?: That is SO NOT just white guys darlin. That's just American culture. That goes for Mexicans, Blacks, Whites,...any American. Though some of us do have better manners than that, lol.

People who consider themselves "mixed"?: I don't think they are truly thinking of themselves as "mixed", but as having a couple different cultural heritages. Of course they are still white, but since Irish and Italian are two very different cultures, someone may be proud they both in their bloodline, and so choose to tell people.

And it isn't just "white people" that are confusing. It's everyone---if you went to a more diverse school, you might ask these questions about white people, but I am sure you would have quite a few questions about blacks, mexicans and asians, too.

Hope I was able to help. :)

Answer 7

Even though I am predominately white, I am still confused about my society as well. White girls want blonde hair because they find it to be normal. Basically, everyone in school is just trying to be like everyone else. They strive to be the American view of “perfection”. The word “like” is more of a habit than a word. I do admit to using it, along with everyone else in my class. It has gotten to the point to where teachers and students use it in a formal conversation. White boys do not only like white girls, but at this age it is what is most commonly seen. Again, they all want to be normal. They look back on the generation before them and they see their parents both being white. They eventually will change with age and branch out into the world to make their own decisions. Boys find it funny to be disgusting in public even when no one else does. They will grow out of this with time as well. Many people are narrow-minded and think that being from two different European countries makes them diverse or not white. It is just they way that they are. School is a confusing thing to go through especially when you do not fit in with the norm. My greatest advice is to just embrace you heritage and be yourself, for it will have the greatest payoff in the end.

Answer 8

this is the second question of yours i am answering, one about black people and now about white people? you said in your little bio thing on your profile that you have white and african american in your background, which (unless they were married into the family) means you do too and whites and blacks shouldnt be such a mystery to you. and even if they were married into the family you still should be familiar with either. do reservations not have tvs? you mean to tell me you've only seen white girls with blond hair? i dont know your questions seem alittle idiotic to me. and if you want to sit there and tell me you've never laughed at a fart or a burp than i would sit here and call you a liar. because i dont know about where you live, but like i said in my last post, my b/f is indian, isletta puebelo (not that i know the difference or anything ..) hes got his little card thing to prove his indian blood, and in new mexico, (where he is from) he said the reservations there are the so called "white trash of the indians" i dont know, ive never been to NM nor am i indian. as for the whole mixed white people thing. its their culture, i myself am italian and hungarian and because those are my roots, im white. i often get confused with people from spain .. im not sure why, but it might be because of my fair complexion, black hair and brown eyes. there is NO such thing as just being white, black, mexican, asian, indian ect because we come from different roots. you saying that your Lakota Sioux Native American is like me saying im half Italian and half Hungarian. not all native americans are from the same tribes, so why can whites and black and others refer to themselves as their roots, instead of their color. in all actuallity, if that was the case, i'd be white, and someone would be black, and you would be red skin .. thats not fair is it?

Answer 9

ROFLMAO...aww man stop it please I can't stop laughing....So you are Lakota? what rez you from?.....I think you are someone who is confused but not what you are asking about....I think you watched some movie about American Indians and fell in love with the idea of being Indian.....I personally think you are white or mixed and trying to find a place to fit in.......I have many family and friends who live on the Rez...and most of the young people would never ask these questions you are asking on here......are you just in denial and trying to play being Indian..........Your Questions are Whacked!....I don't know any REAL SKINS that would say stuff like this

Answer 10

Hmmm, I am of German, English, Blackfoot and Cherokee descent. I still consider myself white. The use of the word "like" as every other word is usually used by the younger generation. That's just teens for you. Most outgrow it. Not sure about the blonde hair, I always wanted mine red. Guys these days have not been properly trained by caring parents to teach them that burping is NOT nice.
