Because you’re only 21 I’m guessing you’re just hanging out with young, immature females. No woman worth anything would say such a dumb thing. As you grow up, the ladies your age will also.

I don’t believe assimilated Italian-Americans are any more racist than any other American group. However I have noticed that immigrants from all sorts of places tend to be more overtly racist than those who were born here. Perhaps it’s just social conditioning that Most Americans know it’s wrong to talk smack about other races.

I don’t understand why anyone has an issue with this. And as for Affirmative Action, gays should be afforded the same treatment as Jews, Asians and other disproportionately successful and well educated minorities. Since they are statistically higher earners than the norm, they won’t need any special assistance.

Name : Dot, Gender : Female, Age : none, City : L.A., State : CA, Country : United States, Social class : Middle class,Granted I live in L.A. and work in the arts, but I’ve never actually met any straight men who have openly expressed problems with gays. I do know this exists in some places so I must conclude it’s environmental and not an inborn discrimination. In any place where gays are disproportionately successful you find people more willing to emulate them and be their friends than those who want to talk smack.

Name : Dot, Gender : Female, Age : none, City : L.A., State : CA, Country : United States, Social class : Middle class,Older black people (more religious by definition) do not like to hear young gays, even young black gays, compare the struggle for marriage equality to the Civil Rights struggle. The opponents of this ridiculous Prop 8 we have in California screwed up by holding rallies in WeHo, Hollywood and Silver Lake (traditionally supportive communities) and totally ignored Gateway, Koreatown, Watts and such (areas where lower income blacks and immigrants live). They preached to the choir and got blindsided by the congregation. It’s been stunning to realize how homophobic some groups in this state are. Even more unbelievable if you look at who’s paying the lion’s share of the taxes and who’s receiving the most tax funded services. The well educated, high earning gays and lesbians are paying the bills for all these lower income, uneducated people who just slammed them at the polls.

Name : Dot, Gender : Female, Age : none, City : L.A., State : CA, Country : United States, Social class : Middle class,Advertisers have research showing that people over 30 tend to be brand loyal, ergo they are less swayed by the ads they see in magazines (or on TV). As a result all media targets younger people. Young men, almost by definition, DO NOT equate sex with love and are more interested in the mechanics of sowing their wild oats than the emotional complications of being in a relationship. Women on the other hand have the reproductive imperative, meaning they must forge lasting relationships earlier in life or be left childless.

Name : Dot, Gender : Female, Age : none, City : L.A., State : CA, Country : United States, Social class : Middle class,And the amount of anti-“Anglo” sentiment is horrifying. What “white” people need to realize is that our long struggle to evolve from our racist ancestors has not been fully shared with our fellow citizens of other races. While most educated “minority” people are enlightened enough not to act like what you have suffered. Far too many, especially those who don’t identify as American, fully expect to treat whites in 2009 the way whites treated their ancestors in 1850. The “get whitey” attitude you describe is so mainstream in Southern California that you hear it on the radio, see it on TV and read it in the newspaper…with no apologies.

Or is is that Crip who smashed my windshield and grabbed my purse? Or is it Africa, or is it Haiti or is it the West Indies? I would argue that there IS no one black experience. And regarding Tiger Woods, it was his half black father who created such a hoopla about his race. Multi-ethnic people should be allowed to identify themselves as they choose.

Name : Dot, Gender : Female, Age : none, City : L.A., State : CA, Country : United States, Social class : Middle class,White women are force fed a steady diet of “you’re not good enough”. Not thin enough, boobs too small, hit the tanning bed, etc. Why is a big brown or black woman beautiful when the same size white chick is “fat”. Most white women DO NOT think they’re cute. They are the most insecure group of individuals on the planet. There’s a reason minority girls rarely suffer eating disorders and white girls hate themselves if they’re bigger than a size 2.

Dump this guy. You’re a grown woman, you don’t need this Jr. High School behavior.
