Barry AlsteinParticipantWhatever they would deem hell to be. You are asking it from the point of view that what they are going through now is hell, which is your own preconception. Masochists must have a form of hell; if your hell is what they go through, what is your heaven? Your heaven might be their hell.

Barry AlsteinParticipantAs a Londoner and somoneone who identifies with being British i have to agree. While personally i am not or don’t consider myself racist I can accept and in some way agree that some members of my nation can be catagoried as racists. Why this is so i cannot competely nail down however i can give an indication as to why this may be the case. Throughtout British history there, i feel, has been an attitute/ arrogrance that British is best. Think about the (sorry to mention it) the war and such like, which i feel is or partely leads to racisim by my fellow nationals. Why do we sterotype and ‘degrade’ as part of our humour? First you are assuming that you automatically degrade when sterotyping occurs, which doesn’t always happen. Your fellings are that when sterotypes are made degration ocuurs which i feel is acceptable although not always true. Another point is that you express ‘humour’ in commas, why? To answer your question i think its just a way of catagorising a particular group of people or cultures to explore their idenity. Why this is done through the medium of humour i cannot answer and would like another viewpoint. The last question is interesting ‘how can they say all these people are stupid’ with good conciece? You said this not me or anyone else which is in itself a sterotype of us. (don’t worry I am not offended because i believe that this is not true nor has ever been true.) What are British children taught about other cultures? Having been through the British education system and living, working and studying in the UK the answer is simple, the same as you. What have you been taught? I have a question for you as an American. Why do or does America claim everything is theres or that they invested everthing?
