Wow Jashua... what a coinkydink. The entire time I was reading what you typed to Mikah, I was thinking... and your mom should have swallowed... and then you go and say you're mad cause her parents didn't drown her. Isn't that crazy how when you read what a dumbazz writes, you can sometimes channel their ignorance... wow how scary :-(   See 34 other replies

Jewelle, that's because the United States has absorbed those nationalities into "whiteness". Look at the census and see what "races" are there. What you have just described, isn't listed. And then ask yourself why, which will lead you perhaps into some interesting historical research.

Sadly I'm absolutely guilty of thinking some black pple are going to mug me it may be due to having an absolutely sheltered background. :/ I won't even talk to the school janitors. But yes reality is rather unperfect.   See 27 other replies

I hate it when people say lack of diveristy. Because you know we all know that there is tons of diversity in america. Also we also know that the stereotypical action hero is a white male, that can be due to that United States has an Anglo-Saxon majority also I'm sorry but also we are more familiar with the 'white' gentleman :x. It also has alot nowadays in what you want to watch if you want shows that tell the complexies of life there are show like that Being Human is one even ifs a fantasy one, and i'm sorry to say most British shows do better 2. But watching a fantasy show and expecting to see such things if unrealistic at best. And I've lived in Portand and even through it isn't a 100% everyone pretty much acts 'white' except the Asian population, so its like you are in a hundred percent white town. Also just saying people can go alot of ways if you want to like me I could go feminist Nazi on this show by saying the only really cool character who were female in this show was episode1 and she got in a coma :D! But I won't, so please just spare me from ....anywho just enjoy the show!   See 34 other replies
