Maybe it's just coincidence, because I've noticed that where I live and in my school, more whites crack their gum than blacks.

This is definitely not a black phenomenon. In my school there is a large Italian population, so it's not uncommon to hear an Italian refering to another Italian as a guido, guida or guidette. When I first heard them speak like that to each other I was offended, and I'm not even Italian. I think the word 'nigga' is now being used like 'homeboy' or 'homegirl' was used in the early 90s. I've seen Italians call each other 'nigga,' and even blacks calling their non-black friends 'nigga.'

I think that this is a very positive thing. When I say that about my friends it means that I am able to look beyond their color and recognize them as human beings just like I am. What a better world this would be if racists took this to heart. But while I do say that, I do appreciate the different ethnicities and nationalities of my friend. Just because I say that I don't notice their ethnicity doesn't mean I've forgotten it.

In my school all ethnicities including white mispronounce 'ask' as 'axe' (it's a common mispronounciation) but I don't really hear the sounding of 'th' as 'f'. Maybe it's just a regional thing.

The United States does not force its culture on anyone. American companies won't waste their time on something that does not give them profit, so they wouldn't supply things like Tommy Hilfiger, Levis unless there was a demand for them. People in other countries just want American things, though I have no idea why.

Hispanic is definitely not a race. It denotes a culture. One can most certainly be Black, Caucasian, American Indian, or Amerindian and still be Hispanic. Just take a look at the variety of colors you see in the Hispanic community.
