Anyone else think it is weird that we're the only ones under "Cultures and Groups"?

I DID notice, first time I started ANSWERS, and it bothered me.  Then after thinking about it, I was fine with it.  I don't think the categories are meant to include or exclude anyone, necessarily, but were created based on the volume of GAY/ LESBIAN -related questions and answers.  I mean there are a lot of us.  But where's other major groups???\n\nYes, I do think it's unusual that "we're" the only listed group besides "other."  Maybe that question should be posted and results brought to Yahoo's attention.  Personally, I think it should be a member of a particular ethnic, cultural, or 'whatever' group that should raise the question.\n\nI do thank Yahoo for being politically correct about our name: "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered."

Because we are all different...that is the way we are suppose to be.  \n\nit is hard to understand other's beause we are not them.

Who is "you guys", you mean Americans?  If so, it's cause we are a different culture, so accept it, we are all different!  Would it be any fun if we were all the same?  Plus, we're Americans and we do what we want to cause we think we're free....  But that's another story to talk about!!!

I personally accept people as they are. Nobody is the same. I don't think normal can be accurately defined for everyone since everyone has different views, beliefs, and ways of life.

don't Caucasians, African Americans, Hispanics or maybe Persians hang out together? And Actually I think you have poor observation skills (if you have any at all). The truth is Asians are the ones you will notice all over hanging out  with different kinds of people. Go out there, think about it and observe harder.

I've been here since the beginning. Hasn't it always been part of Society and Culture?\n\nI could be mistaken, but maybe I'm not.\n\nYou should also pick your battles.

Why is it that other people have to group all Americans together as "the majority of Americans". The majority of Americans do not think the way you guys honestly believe they do. Just a VERY limited few ignorant souls with huge mouths seem to ruin it for everyone. But that doesn't mean that the majority of people feel that way and I DO NOT appreciate being grouped with these people.

Because they are. And because everybody is different so if they didn't have different tastes, some of us would be alone, right.

I don't think we were actually put here. We evolved here, so we're natives to the planet, although you wouldn't always know that by the way we treat it.

My friends are as different as can possibly be.  We're quite a diverse group, but somehow that works for us.  ♥

Not necessarily,  most people call it CULTURAL DIVERSITY.\n\n/doc

It is under "Society and Culture," as a subgroup. I just checked and it is still there....

Why not? They're people just like anyone else. I have a few arab friends and a lot of islamic friends. They're pretty cool.

pretty silly to think that in a place this big ( the universe) that we are *that* special and that we might be the ONLY ones...

We live in two different worlds and it is virtually impossible at times to find that common ground. As much as we share in life's experiences, we also are different. I'm not sure we'll ever be together as a nation or worldwide community.

It is true we are all nearly identical genetically.  This is why culture plays such a defining role in our behavior both individually and as part of a larger group.\n\nThis is, for example, why I don't want to be part of a democratic system where religious fundamentalist are the clear majority.  I enjoy the ability to worship as I see fit without the threat of being stoned in public.\n\nIs this the answer you sought?\n\n-Armus

Some societies have a single culture (language, religious beliefs, life expectations, etc), but one like ours (American) is fragmented.  Any somewhat unified group which has their own cultural glue could be called a sub-culture.  (Gays, Conservative Christians, Latinos, Urban Blacks, Gangs, Neo-nazis, Pagans, Yiddish Hebrews, Academics – the Ivory Tower, Politicians, Militant Feminists, Little China, Swingers, Artists, Musicians, etc.)\nThey often have a language or vocabulary which sets them apart.  When interfacing with people outside of their own group, they often behave or speak just a little differently than when they are with other members of their group.  Sometimes members are difficult to observe in public, but often they are proud of their differences and do not wish to blend in.
