I've lived in Mexico all my life. I saw on an American TV show that Black people can't eat pizza, cheese, milk, anything dairy. Since I've never met a Black person I wouldn't know. Is it true?

I've eaten pizza with black people and they didn't disappear or turn green or anything.

this crap is not ALWAYS applied when blacks don't get their way.  it is a small population of people who have grown accustomed to using slavery and all the "oppression" as a means of getting special treatment instead being a hard working law abiding citizen. as a young black woman, I don't feel like i deserve to keep my gas on if i didnt pay the bill, or get out of a ticket because the cop might have only pulled me because i am black. i was probably speeding, so that's why he pulled me.  so, the woman who decided that the ONLY reason your husband is trying to run his business professionally without being bullied by that BS is because someone somewhere let her get away with that ish and she is trying to milk it for all it is worth.  my advice to her is "pay your damn bills and stop thinking that history is going to get you special treatment", and my advice to you and your husband is "please don't stereotype an entire race because a select few of us are waiting for their 40 acres and mule".  have a great thanksgiving!!!

Yes, the last one is Africans, but not in all the country, those who descend from the Africans are mostly in the states of: Veracruz, Tabasco, Campeche and some in Oaxaca. It's difficult to find some in the rest of the country.

Bullsh*t. I'm a native Floridian we say y'all.\n\nBBQ?  Hell, yes. Ribs, steaks, chicken, brisket, if you can't BBQ it, it ain't fit to eat.\n\nWhat do we eat?  Meat, Meat, Meat, Meat, potatoes, meat, and bread. And more meat.\n\n\nEDIT: Hey, Crystal: Come on down! Just stay on I-4 until you see a huge cloud of BBQ smoke. Exit when you can actually smell the pork sizzling.

"Blacks" as in Africans ... or "blacks" as in extremely dark skinned Mexicans?\n\nI know there is a major discrimination in Mexico and in south Texas by fair skinned Mexicans against dark complexioned Mexicans.  The darker skins are seen as uneducated, hick farmers, and you average day laborers .. these people are seen as being more Indian.   Where as the fairer skinned Mexicans are the elite of the society:  they are educated, white collar jobs, usually in management/political offices.  The fairer skinned Mexicans are seen as having purer blood lines back to Spain.

I say bigotry, Stupid people, fear, and unwillingness to change. I saw a guy on TV one time, can't remember who or what show it was, and he says the reason behind racism is, all those things i just said up there, and the fact that if a white person celebrates his heritage, it is nothing but racism to other cultures wether the white person is american, canadian, french or otherwise.If a black man celebrates his heritage, it is nothing but oppression  and hatred for the white man. Black people have BET and have comics telling jokes about white people all the time, and some white people think it's funny, some white people get pissed. What if white people had WET and had comedians telling jokes about black people, the NCAA would throw a fit! I think his point in saying that was Everyone is just as racist as everyone else, you can't just label a whole color/culture/heritage whatever. not all black people are racist, but i'm sure some are, same goes for whites, reds, browns, yellows, everything! And i'm sure since you're from south america, a region where there are no racists, you do get some prejudice. But what if I, a white dude, went to South America and tried to make it? You think i would just mingle right in? WRONG!!! You have to make the choice yourself not to be racist or hateful. My friend and i get along just fine, he is black, whoopidy doo, our families are different but we have been best friends since we were 12, now 22. So it's up to individuals to make the difference.

I am neither Mexican or Italian, but from my experiences knowing nationals with Mexican heritage, some of them resent Mexicans from Mexico.  The reason I'm not sure.  One man said because they give all Mexicans a bad reputation.  I don't believe in stereotyping any nationality but I guess he doesn't have problem with that.

What American women are you talking about?  \n\nI've seen plenty of Mexican women who pack on the pounds after childbirth, in Mexico AND America.  It's a female issue, not a ethnic issue.  Find a better topic for discussion.

the truth is everybody is different. u would have to experiment it for yourself. \nexample:\nmy son can not eat just a milk based product for a snack. his blood sugar will go low as if he didn't have anything for a snack at all.  other people with diabetes (such as his father) can have it for a snack and its ok their blood sugar is fine as if they had ate a granola bar or crackers.\nits weird but true, if my son wants ice cream for a snack then he has to eat another source of starch with it.\nremember that extreme HI's are always followed by extreme LOW's . this is true in people without diabetes also.

I'm Black and I speak proper English at all times unless I'm just hangin' w/ friends.  However, when it matters, and when I hear Black people speaking Ebonics -- or what I just plain call "ghetto" -- I think they are simply uneducated.  I think they're low-class and I think they reflect poorly on ALL Blacks.

In many western cultures a dog, like any pet is part of the family! Would you eat your family member? What if it was ok to eat family members in other cultures? What would you think? I heard cannibalism was pretty popular in Cambodia at one time. \n\nI guess people just consider it uncivilized.\n\nThen again some people have pet cows and chickens, so I digress.

Probably pretty immensely, and I must say, you have a good point. I don't understand why people are so touchy about their race. My grandfather was an Estonian (Teeny country on the Baltic) who immigrated to the US, and I don't get uptight when someone jokes about my heritage. But, if a person's grandfather was an African immigrant or Mexican immigrant, they'd be immensely offended if someone made jokes about their family's nation of origin. I don't think the minority argument stands, because even though I'm white, Estonians are certainly more of a minority than Mexicans or Africans.

No, they decend from a different genetic line from Africans or Europeans.  They are genetically isolated to Asia, just as "whites" are genetically isolated to Europe, and "Blacks" are genetically isolated to "Africa" (and wherever they were sold as slaves).

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.
