[Hayat-R]

Growing up in Chicago I’ve observed all sorts of races. I don’t think the jerky body movements attributed to some whites is genetic, but rather has to do with whether they’re athletic, comfortable with themselves and how others around them move. In high school we could always tell a basketball player, be the person white, filipino, black or hispanic, by the way they moved. Some sports gear a person for fluidity and others for solidity. Many white people traditionally are raised with football and baseball, both of which require specific stances, moves, and a way of carrying yourself. Also, many of my white friends were generally uncomfortable in their own skins. In the racially diverse neighborhood where I lived whites were at the bottom of the social pool because they had so little culture and self-confidence to draw from. I guess not having much tradition, culture and a feeling of belonging caused them to go introverted. Anyways, no matter what race you are, if you’re not comfortable with yourself, your movements are bound to be jerky, inhibited and self-conscious.
