I don't think we have a certain 'smell,' as you say, when we come outside. It may be the people who you were around didn't wear deodorant to keep them fresh the whole day.

I have to disgree with what's been said. It offends me as a Southern woman who's been here all my life to hear how we are being stereotyped. Since when is having big hair, wearing too much make-up and wanting to have a good marriage and good children just a Southern thing? I think it's a woman thing, period. Most of us dress up for what reason? To please a man. Most of us wear make-up for what reason? To meet a man. And most of us (including me) want to be married and have children someday. All woman are guilty of the things that have been mentioned here. To say this is just a 'Southern Thing' is just plain wrong.

I can understand why you were upset. I remember when Tiger Woods won the Masters in '97 and another golfer said he hoped Tiger wouldn't have them serve fried chicken and greens at the honors dinner. A lot of people didn't understand why that was offensive. It was offensive because it stereotyped black people. It sounds to me they've done the same to you.

I agree especially among young white females. But studies have shown that weight is less of a problem among African-American teenagers, and I think it's because, to me, black magazines project more positive and realistic images of the black female.

I've seen all the acts you have been talking about, and I don't consider them racist. In fact, if you pay attention to their routines, they pick on black people more then anyone else, but I didn't hear you complaining about that.

I've dated outside my race several times. Most black women have a problem with interracial dating between white women and black men because they feel as if white women are "stealing our men" and that they are taking the good black men away since there are so few available out there (according to some). I for one think you should date whomever you want to date if that's your preference.

I'm full-figured and kind of feel that way myself. I'm usually not attracted to overweight men, but I think the difference between men and women is that women are not going to be with a man because he's good-looking; he also has to have a brain, be nice to her and work. On the other hand, I've noticed men date attractive women - no matter how smart she is or even if she's nice. As long as she looks goo, that's all that matters to some men. That's what bothers me as we as a people (myself included) don't see beyond a person's looks when it comes to to seeking a mate.
