Do they not want to dominate everything and everyone?\n\nI must look like that from the developing world.

They are always bombing people invading their countries.\nThey corrupt governments and terrorise the people\nThey cheat the farmer with low prices and get cheap oil to waste.\nThe dig up Africa [etc] and take all the minerals\nThey put up trade barriers to keep people down and poor\nThey flood the world with a vile culture [which includes everything Christianity says it does not believe]\n\nThen when everyone is dying they throw a few cents at them and feel good

THAT ONE WOULD TAKE QUITE A BIT OF RESEARCH. ISOLATED TRENDS IN THIRD-WORLD COUNTRIES DO NOT ACCURATELY REFLECT GLOBAL TRENDS, NOR DO POWER-HUNGRY SUPER-POWER COUNTRIES' TRENDS NECCESSARILY REFLECT ON SMALLER NATIONS, LET ALONE ACCURATELY PORTRAY THEIR OWN PEOPLE.

There's a certain amount of that in white Australian culture as well, though perhaps not so much. I think it's more common among those with more money and comes from the British higher classes - i.e. dukes and whatnot felt the need to maintain their status as 'higher' than the other classes they had power over. I laugh to see it in today's society, because most of us are not leaders and have no need to feed our status by showing the world how together we are. Added to that, Western culture has moved on, and trying to prove we're not human doesn't gain us credibility anymore. As a white Aussie, I've been exposed to the attitude you speak of within my family and I don't subscribe to it as a way of life. It's self-destructive and stupid... though I don't recommend telling everyone your deep dark secrets and crying about it all the time, either!

it is possible that they are insecure, and need/want that sense of power.

I think that some Caucasians are worried about minorities like us taking their place in the political and business world. Politics and business equals control and Caucasians know that, so they may be intimidated by that.

Uhh.. They probably still would..\nWe are the shining jewel in the world\n\nSo much food, we have problems from being fat\n\nSo much money, we worry about filling our SUV's with gas\n\nSo much freedom, we look like a divided nation because everyone can speek their minds.\n\nSo much prosperity, someone with a HOUSE, FOOD, MEDICAL CARE, FOUR CHILDREN ALL OVERWEIGHT,  can be considered poor.\n\nSo much welfare placed on our children, they actually rebel and DONT want to goto school, to learn and grow.\n\nthere are other great countries, but this is the dream for many people standing right outside our counrty with nothing to look forward to.  \n\nThey will come, the only thing is will we let them in?

because it's the elite that maintain power and they don't wan't to give it up.  It's a closed society and they want to keep it that way.  They are biased, judgmental people and they protect each other.  They don't want to deal with common folk like you and I.

No, I don't think Indians have a more dominant group. I have seen many half white-half indians, some of them look more like whites and some of them look more like Indians.

It is because they are too full of themselves that they judge others. I have also noted at times that they fear those who are different in appearance and thinking. I judge people by how they treat others and not how they look.

No, its not just you though I can't blame them.  Our country, particularly our government, has an air of arrogance about it.  I suppose this stems from Americanizing other cultures and our self proclaimed "world police" status.  While these stereotypes do not apply to individuals, that perception of our nation as a whole bleeds into people's attitudes towards us on a personal level.

We are trying to get them to do it for themselves!Guess they are just slow to nurture...It does look like we rule there but we dont..we simply set some points for them and its up to them to follow thru..I think they will in time..It cant be easy and they have to deal with violence every day as they try to set goals..Good luck to them!

Ahhh, the truth will out.  Power hungry heads of state do tend to be cut from the same cloth.  Change the look, tweak the ideology, they're still the same under the skin.

I think they take a special course in intimidation instead of a much needed one in community relations. They want to rule by fear instead of repect, but expect to be respected. And then are stupid enough to think we are impressed by them. Hmmmm.

They are egocentric. They think that the world revolves around them.
