Actually I'm not real sure these are new Americans.
Some were here before the whites moved in.
My own ethnicity .... hmmm well my grandparents on both side had allot of Amerindian.
And I was told when I was quite young NOT to speak of it. Seems the states the came from before getting to CA were very unfriendly toward them.
Note: 2 of my ancestral types were not allowed into some salons during the 1800.
There were signs that said NO Indians, Irishman, or Dogs. (before you dweebs get goin NO none of my ancesters were DOGS)
StSanta... your sister is what she is. IMHO women and men are different. Mentally, physically, emotionally, etc. and no matter how much anyone trys to tell me they are the same I will disagree.
I'am further of the opinion that men and women do different things better.
Doesn't mean that either can not be tuff or stronge or anything. It means they are different and each does different things better then the other.
It also means that IMHO each deserves our full respect, unlessl they show they don't deserve it.
I consider this to be SOP regarding respect for all races/racial types as well.
I've know American's of Japanese decent to be just as ethical, moral, strong valued, etc as any other American. More so then some white? American's I've known.
Skin color seems to create a sterotype among almost all people. Yet I've found the American Spirit in ALL colors.
My Grandfather on my mothers side always told me NEVER judge another by the color of their skin, but by their actions, words, and deeds. And to try to always walk a mile in their shoes before I did that.
