    Why should they? They haven’t been slaves and they almost definitely(barring an extra long life) haven’t known anyone who was. Do you think they should?

    I’m not saying you’re wrong but do you have any proof of this. That’s a pretty serious accusation. I won’t dispute that they don’t get paid well but do you have any proof they are actually slaves being paid nothing? Please show me if you have some.

    I don’t think that it is meant, by anyone, that Hispanics, women, etc. have just arrived at that point of qualification. I think it’s more to say that it is a historical moment. People tend to mark events like that, the first non-white supreme court justice, Thurgood Marshall, we tend to mark important events, especially firsts. Many people see these events as a turning point, it opens minds, even the most predjudiced ones, to the idea that we are all equal regardless of color, sex, creed, etc.

    I think the reason that they aren’t portrayed in most war films is that they were not as large a group in the military until the vietnam era. The Tuskegee airmen, an all black air unit were not ever allowed to actually fly in a combat mission. I don’t have an answer for the sterotyped behavior but that maybe the reason they aren’t as largely portrayed in war films.

    eggs and bunnies and holly are not religious symbols but symbols that even the non-religious use to signify the holidays. If there was a cross or anything remotely religious you can bet there would a huge mess. Teaching religion also is not necessarily banned from schools, it’s teaching that one religion is right and one is wrong. There are religion classes at public schools, they talk about the three “world religions”, Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, and some tohers like Hinduism and Buddhism and so on.

    It can, it depends on whether or not the person doing the perceiving is predjudiced, or maybe they just have an internal stereotype of people with those accents because of their past experiences with the people who have certain accents.

    No, it’s a quote, it is what the author said you can’t it change it or it wouldn’t be a quote it would be something like a paraphrase. I’m sure everyone would understand what it meant. You can’t change quotes just to make them “include” all people when they already do just with a different word.

    Nope, I went to an academic magnet school, which means we only had Honors/AP classes, no standard. I would say half or more of the students were black or “minority” students. Do you have any of those schools in your area maybe thats where they all are? Maybe not

    I don’t persecute people, its not against the law, it doesn’t mean I apporve but hey it’s not my place and it’s not against the law. This may be a bit off the topic but my question why do people who kill pregnant women get blamed for the murder of no only the woman but the baby too? but then a woman who has an abortion has not committed the same crime of murder that the killer of the pregnant woman and her child. I think this is kind of a double standard, you know. The killer gets two punishments for two murders but then the mother can have an abortion without consequence from the law. Maybe I’m crazy but it doesnt make any sense.

    Women’s feelings are generally hurt more easily than men’s. or am I wrong? Guys tend to just brush off insulting comments, or we usually make to each other on purpose because that’s how we are I don’t know why it’s just what we do. Women on the other hand, I think anyway, don’t brush the comments off as easily.

    To start, sorry if anything I say comes off racist or discriminatory, it’s not and it’s not meant to be this is what I think sorry again. I think this is like asking why black people are black and white people are white, etc. It is in their genes just like the color of their skin. There’s somethin about their environment, where at least their ancestors came from, Asia that made them adapt and become that way for survival. Like black people became darker because if you get too sunburned then you get really sick so if they are going to survive where theyr originated, Africa then you can’t be burned easily. White people are white because of where they come from, it doesn’t get as hot in Europe/Russia, in fact it gets alot colder so they are not a dark from the sun and the reason that Swedis

    She probably doesn’t see the need you do. If you broke up with her then she probably wants to wait a little while because she’s not over you yet and doesn;t want it to hurt knowing that she can talk to you but can;t talk like she used too. If she broke up with you then I don’t know maybe because she did it because she didn’t know for sure and the only way she can stay without you is to cut you out for a little bit. Or it could be any number of other reasons that I can’t think of at the moment for some reason.

    Yes white men are priviledged, oh yea so much it’s almost unbearable. Sorry for the enormous sarcasm there but I had too. Let’s examine the facts. Affirmative action, good or Bad? Bad for white people, especially males. Now let’s see a black female and a white male apply to the same college. The white male had a 4.0 in high school, the black female had a 2.9-3.0. Who get’s in? Well if the school has to fill quotas for affirmative action then the black female because she’s black and a female even though the male is more qualified. Affirmative action is forced discrimination. All it does is hold back a “majority” person because of things that have happened in the past and haven’t affect many if any of the students and workers today. Yea, there’s no one left alive that was a slave even for on

    in reply to: Gender vs. Sex… There is a difference!! #21860

    I looked up both words on dictionary.com. and Sex: means basically the determining of male or femal based on sex organs, penis and vagina. Gender means basically the same the difference between male and female, although there is a small usage note at the bottom that talks about gender referring to social and/or cultural categories, it mentions the fact that this is by no means widely used by anyone any where and that’s true. I agree with their definition there are two sexes, male and female defined by sex organs, penis and vagina, not penis or no penis. and there are two genders, male and female the only exception is the rare case of a “hermaphrodite”(sp?) in which case the person is neither.
