rather than for they really are? Nationalities and/or ethnicity, social background seem to be much more important than human qualities to too many people. Be true and tell us what's your behaviour and opinion about that?

If I had a penny each time I ask myself the same question...\nSadly most of the time is the same family and the social circle that show the kids the ways of prejudices, even people wake late in life and see that is wrong, while we are kids our parents trying to protect us shows to avoid people that are different or don't behave like they think is normal or acceptable.

I was a student at King's College, London, many years ago. Probably there is not much difference, but they are possibly more disciplinarian? Of course students are always 'lively people' the World over.There is not so much emphasis on success-certainly there is much hard studying involved. The ethnic makeup of the British population has changed much over the years.

I believe emotional age/experience is much more important.  However that being said, if you 'go too far' outside your generation, you can later learn that you didn't have as much in common as you thought.. generational issues can be biggies.. it's to each their own and what they prefer/workout.

Let's not ascribe personality characteristics too closely to national traits. There are pleasant and unpleasant people the world over. Be aware that many African women, not just from Benin, are looking to marry Americans, Europeans and others as a way of finding a better standard of living abroad. I say this as someone who is an anti-racist campaigner, and sympathetic to their situation. However, I know of too many people (men and women) who have been fooled into a marriage that was genuine on their part, but really a sham on the part of their spouse. Sooner or later the horrible truth dawned. I talk from personal experience here too - lol. I also know of lots of successful mariages too, so it 's not all bad - just be careful, and trust your instincts. If it seems too good to be true, well that's because it is.

1. People are people the world over. Most are good, some are bad.\n2. Happy you guys are under your own rule again. \n3. Again, most people are good, some are bad. \n\nI really don't believe in generalizing an entire country or race, so that's why my answers are so generic.

it seems to me that people who live in more populated areas interact with more people and hear and discuss more different ideas than people who live in less crowded areas.  I think seeing that there are people in other religions and from other cultures AND that they are good people leads one to be more open-minded and tolerant --- and less convinced that there is only one right way to believe.

We are all Americans, all of us, and to imply that one color of people should only stick to one color is discrimination.  Which is kinda ironic considering that most of the people who stick to one race color are the same people who whine about everyone else being racist.  We are one people, at the DNA level we're all human and skin color shouldn't really matter much.  This sorta devision is what keeps racism a issue, because if people can't relate to each other they are going to dislike or be suspicious of each other.  Frankly, the sooner we realize that the only race that matters is the human race, the better.

Yes it matters to me anyway. I'd much more prefer someone of my own kind to be life-partners with. Why? Because I'm one of those people who believe in sticking with your own. In this world today this melting pot is destroying the cultures and tradtiotns people of all over the world have kept up for long times. Mixing it isn't helping.

=my mother always told me this as a kid.  I didn't realize it until I went into business for myself and got burnt more than once.  Also married a Jew, divorced him and still years later he is out to crucify me.  That is not to say they are all that way and cheap.  People are either decent or not no matter what race, creed, or color.  The above is based on my personal experience.

Doesnt seem like you agree with what people are saying about sticking to your own kind cos otherwise you wouldnt want somebody who is of mixed race. why does race have to stop you from choosing a person who's heart, mannerisms, friendhi is the kind that you want? besides whose to say that "your own kind" will be good enough anyway...follow your heart!

First of all, amen to that.  I am a white guy, so you will probably just brush me of in saying that, but I seriously mean it.  People are people no matter the color of their skin or any other physical attribute.  Guess what, all of your insides are the same color no matter what color the outside is.  The differences that really arise are differences in physical attributes (which mean very little if any at all) and the differences in cultural influence.  The culture of each group is what really makes each seem more different in the minds of the other groups.  For many people, it is hard to get that in their thick skulled heads, but for me it is very obvious.  See people for who they are, not for who they appear to be on the outside.

How can you possibly expect to describe all filipinos in the same way? Some are conceited, some are outgoing, others have all kinds of other characteristics. They're not all the same! What is your ethnic heritage? Could everyone who is from the same culture as you be described as being just like you? Your question is highly inappropriate as it seeks to stereotype people.

not every ones personality clicks. however, we don't have to please everybody because we cant! however, it is good to be sosociable with all people! a simple hello, a smile. or a thank you if we are in a store . so if people act differently its them not you or i.  we all should try to get along as far as we can. if we cant then move on. history, culture, whatever the case may be we all should have a conscience!! we all know right from wrong and good and bad. god made us that way!!! so if people act differently its not you or i its them! i hope you see my  point on this matter. and yes every culture has their own beliefs .  and their own ways.that does not mean they have to be rude or unsocialable  people talk different languages. so we all don't talk different languages however its good to take a foreign language. it can be very use full. i took french, and Spanish. that way i can talk to other people and make friends. like i said some are sociable some are not. i just move on. shake the dust off my feet. its their loss. maybe our gain. thank you Kat

I am friendly with all different type of people - no difference which ethnic group they belong to, but for marriage I think people should try sticking to their own race - it's easier for you and your kids.

I agree with all of you. People around the world are claiming races, people belonging to a particular religion or culture to be responsible of one-person's (or a group of very few people's) act. Why should any one blame someone else for someones misdeed. There shouldn't be even consideration of the person's race/religion/country/language. Not all the people of a particular group have same thoughts or ways to think. Not everyone acts in the same way in a similar situation.

You pretty much answered the question the way I would.  It would be great to break down the language barriers, so we would realize there are less differences between us and "everyone else" than we think.  But yes, I think there's the danger of becoming too similar.  Maybe not, though...every country still has different customs and "slang", so maybe the cultural uniqueness would prevail.

How come you did not mention your own nationality? Anyway, I've lived in some African countries and really liked the environments - very friendly and stress free. I've also lived in the USA and was in fact very disappointed - very stressful and hostile society (despite the diversity), especially down south in Texas.
