If you go to any university, what do you see.  You see white people sitting next to white, blacks next to blacks, and asians next to asians.  Is it the same in the work environment?  A white employer will promote another white employer over an asian one, with similar qualifications when the work involves social engagements, why, becasue white rather be with white when social engagements are required on the job.  That is why, you have the white boys network in top management.  It is a social thing.

they just don't "get" other cultures or ethnic backgrounds. you'd have to be completely whitewashed in order to be accepted. In some places, though people are more multicultural... especially in places with smaller populations. It's just with the bigger the population things start to split down racial lines.

Them white boyz... ha ha ha\nWhy are you so worried about bashing white ppl all the time? This happens all the time, in any race, skin color, religion, ethnicity whatever, ppl will associate together if they have something in common and can all relate to. And even if they do that does not mean they're racist, or anti-religious, or anarchist or any other crap. You can be different ethnicity and still be white! This is just a typical stereotypical bashing. Seems cool lately, so you decided why not right? You just sounded more racist and condescending towards others than them white boyz you just described.

I understand people's confusion over AA, but what about this scenario?  It happens all the time:  18 qualified people apply for a job.  One, however, is extremely qualified, heads above the rest.  She is the only woman applicant.  The man hiring her convinces himself that because she is a woman, she'll likely not work as hard because she probably will want kids and be a mom some day.  OR this scenario.  Of the 18 applicants, the one who stands way over the rest is an African American.  The man hiring decides that his clients would be uncomfortable working with a minority, so he gives the job to a white man.\n\nDiscrimination does exist.  Maybe AA doesn't solve these problems, but how do you make it fair for women and minorities if it's not a law to have fair hiring practices?

White people say that people will call them racist if they have an organizations and I believe it's the other way around. White people are under the mentality that if they have an organization for themselves that will make them a racist. So they complain and say that they will be called a racist.

I am an asian and i have had more black boyfriends than i have had best friends.... oh and that reminds me the smartest girl in the school and my best friend forever!! is black and she is so nice and i also have an asian best friend and also a white best friend. All three of them are the bestest people i known in my life and they are almost a part of my family.... so nope not all asians are racists.... The only people I know who hate blk people are wht people.... frankly, me being an asian don't care if i have blk or wht friends because they are people just like me... Their skin color doesn't make a difference to me. They are all "human-beings" so im not racist to people just because of the amount of the melanoma their body has.

I don't get it either,  hope you can get a bigot on here to answer that.\nThe discrimination is not against the color of the skin but of social class.... Let me build you this scenario...White man walking down the street sees a black "gang banger" walking towards him. The white man steps away from him....Now another man walks by, a black man in a nice suit...What do you think the white guy will do, walk past or step away...99.999 of them will walk past without an increase in their heart rate. Does that make him a racist??? Not quite it makes him an clasist of sorts.\n\nHope you are having a good weekend.

your teachers are morons then maybe cause they were white themselves?\nIf you lived in country like china or japan where the majority of people are asians and here comes white people, the white people will experience racism too.\nIn China, if you were to go to a fast food restaurant, they overcharge the white tourists because they are white.\n\nThe US first belonged to the Indians and then the white people took over the country. That's not right.  The US is made up of all different ethnic backgrounds and this country belongs to everyone,not only white people.\nUsually, people will experience racism if they are a minority in a certain situation.\n\nI've experienced racism by my classmates and teachers when I lived in Texas. There were only few asians in my school. Kids kept making fun of me because of my eyes. They kept getting my ethnic background wrong. They thought that chinese or japanese were the only asian (I'm filipino by the way) and I'm not chinese or japanese or korean or what have you.\nThe teachers gave me a lowest grade on my oral report even though I did a great job because I was asian. I compared my oral report with my classmates and the white kids all got 100s or 99s and I got a 93. \n\nWhen I was working, people kept asking me if I spoke spanish or if I was mexican because they judged me from my last name and some of them told me I look chinese or why did I have a mexican last name when I had chinese eyes?? Alot of filipinos have spanish last names by the way.\n\nNow I live close to New York City and I hardly experience racism because I live in a diverse neighborhood. \n\nThanks for the vent.

Why don't you Yahoo Search or Google this because I don't the average person knows what you're getting at. One thing I'm not going to do is to talk about different races, because everyone is the same inside only a little different\noutside. Do you compretend?

Race and Color are self identifiable and not challengable by your employer.  To challenge someone who claims African American or White is in itself racial discrimination and harassment.

I am not black but I would imagine it would be helpful to have people from ones own cultural background to relate to. Also a lot of what you get from college is connections and it may be helpful to network and develope alliances with other African Americans since things aren't always equitable in the world at large.

You are probably rihgt but I think it the behaviour varies from amongst individuals. I think the best approach is to try to understand the persons background in terms of their socialisation. You may want to look at the individuals family, age, race , schools they attendend and their perception of what the job entails.

Actually it is a lot less than it used to be. I am 58 and I remember segregation and white people talking about Negroes and "colored people" in a derogatory way. Today a lot of those same groups of people have black friends or work with black people and there is a lot less of that than there used to be. Yes, there are people, usually of a lower socioeconomic class who are still acting that way because they see educated black people getting better jobs than they do and don't want to admit it is because that person is smarter and better educated and they want to bring them below them so they have someone to look down on. They don't want to admit that the problem is themselves.

I don't see a problem.  It's not like you're saying "all black athletes are better than white athletes" or "all white students are better than black students."  However, the conclusions you draw by looking at a small sample of athletes or a pile of numbers are somewhat faulty.  Here's why:  Yes, there are a lot more black athletes in the NBA than white athletes, but how many black hockey players do you know?  They are some of the strongest, fastest, toughest guys on the planet.  Also, it may be true that statistics show blacks as not scoring as high on aptitude tests than whites, but we have charter schools in Detroit that are 95% black students (or better) and these kids are scoring higher on the SAT/ACT than their white counterparts in the suburban Christian academies.  My point is this:  Be careful about making general comments about any given race, and try to look at the whole picture when using "evidence" to back up your claims.

Well to be fair, I'm Asian and I tried fitting in the predominately "white" community of my hometown....but I just wasn't taken seriously as a friend. It's hard to fit in w/ people outside your race b/c there are all these barriers and such.  I mean it's easy for you to say we seclude ourselves, but we don't have a role amongst a group of "whites" except as a token, a mascot if you will. But I think after a few more generations, Asians will be considered Americans instead foreigners.

Actually I see white girls with Asian guys.  But I live in a big city where folks tend to be more progressive.  I think it mostly has something to do with American white girls being very provincial.\nAnd overall I think Asians tend to be more attractive, so I'd have to disagree with the comments left above.

About 25% better than a white male student with a 4.0 GPA.\n\n30% better if you are a black female rather than a black male. :)\n\nEdit: Not being racist or classist here... if you think I am, look into it and educate yourself on the matter. When it comes to higher education, white students get LESS money and are denied a LOT more on their entrance applications than students of color because of the 'standards' at nearly all universities (Especially California, what a screwed up state). HOWEVER, to balance out the coin here I will say that when it comes to PUBLIC schooling, Students of color have to put up with a lot more crap, and less oppertunities (steriotype, but in GENERAL statistically)... SO, in the view of college acceptance, a minority student (non-asian) with a 4.0 GPA stands out a LOT more than a white/asian student with a 4.0 GPA.\n\nHow many 'white only' scholorships are there?\n\nHow many '<insert random minority here> only' scholorships are there?\n\nKinda makes you think, eh?
