how come theres not a white community?
817246
Because the problem is that white is the norm or the standard. Everyone else is alienated. There is no need to specify the 'white community' because everything is about the white community until otherwise specified. If you really want to answer this question for yourself and broaden your horizons, pay attention. There really is merit to what we (as in the black and hispanic community) have been trying to get trough to y'all.

My dear Jeff, it seems that your point has been sorely missed by most people. I am guessing that you don't particularly want to chat with "whites only" but are merely asking that if other cultures are catered for then why not white americans? After all they are people too? \nAs soon as you mention anything like this, even if it's just to make a point then 99% of people will brand you a racist or nazi before even thinking of the question properly. \nI personally would have no interest in such a chat room, but will defend peoples right to have it - as other cultures have theirs. \nDo people really think that in say, a black american chat room, people use it to constantly berate non-black cultures? No, this is preposterous, as it would make black people generically racist!!.\nI live in Great Britain and have increaingly strong veiws on this subject. British people are increasingly being told not to celebrate their culture (in some places you cannot even fly the English flag - seriously!). British people do not want race hate, just to be able to show pride in who they are and their heritage. \nGovernments and corporations are so scared of insulting anyone these days we are all becoming transparent, unless you belong to a minority.\nThere is only a Human Race is an absolute shortcut to thinking, the world is vast with thousands of cultures and intricacies, if there was just one single human persona it would be a bit boring wouldn't it?\nAll we want Jeff is the right to be who we are without stupid, shortsighted and bloody insulting comments about racism.

The white people are the only ones that are really discriminated against.We aren't allowed to say or do anything against any other race, yet all of them want to come down on the white. Everyone wants to holler poor,poor, pitiful old me and they have to have some one to blame their problems on, so we get it from all angles! Yes I don't understand either if you don't like it leave!!No one is forcing any one to stay here.

Take a look at all the people that answered your question.We are all living in different places,backgrounds,races,religions... \nAre we not living in harmony with each other?Respecting each others answer.\nThere are more people in this world living in harmony with each other than we realize.

>>>>Not to be racist, but it's as if only white people are >>>>allowed to have an identity.\n\nThat's simply not true. \n\nHow many people do you know of who could explain the cultural differences between a Libyan and a Turk? To most Americans they are simply Arabs, white or not. Similarly how many people do you know of who could distinguish between a Boer and a white Kenyan based purely on cultural difference? Both are simply Africans. How many people do you think understand the difference between a Georgian and a Muscovite? How about a Berber and a Taureg? A Kurd and a Sikh? A Lapp and an Norwegian?\n\nYet those are all white people. Quite clearly this cultural ignorance has nothing whatsoever to with skin colur or race.\n\n\n>>>>>Nobody confuses an Irishman with an Italian just \n>>>>>because they are "European".\n\nThat is because America has huge numbers of Italian and Irish immigrants. Try the average American on groups from European areas that haven't emigrated to the US in large numbers. How many people wouldn't confuse a Dane and Norwegian as both being Scandinavian? Or a Frenchman and a Belgian? Or a Spaniard and a Portugese?\n\nFor perhaps the perfect example, even after 20 years of being a major public figure my experience tells me that well over 25% of Americans still don't understand that Arnold Schwarzenegger is not and never has been German. \n\nThe simple fact is that there are far to many cultures and ethnicities in the world to have even a cursory knowledge of them all, even those of us that are interested. We need to lump cultures somehow to get any sort of handle on what is out there. Sometimes that lumping is ridiculously broad, as with your examples of "Africans" and "Asians" but we still need to do that. And African is no more ludicrous as a grouping than “Russian”, and Russians are largely white.\n\nAs we become more and more interested in regions and people we narrow down those divsions. So most Americans can separate out Sicilians and Italians generally. Many now can also separate out Hmong and Vietnamese generally, which is a very fine scale split. \n\nBut the parts of the world we have no reasons to be interested in tend be populated in our minds by "Africans" and "Russians", even though those groupings are more or less meaningless.\n\nBut rest assured it has nothing to do with race. Americans are just as almost as ignorant or European cultural differences as Africans.\n\nBut just to make you fell a bit better, my experience has been that most Africans don't draw any real distinction between Americans and Canadians either. The USA and Canada are usually treated the same way Americans treat Austria and Germany. Everyone more or less knows they're separate countries, but the differences in language, culture and so forth are so small that they feel they can be ignored.\n\nLike I said, nothing to do with race.

White's stick together, and have more sympathy for one another. They don't want to hear about slavery because they don't want to be reminded about how dumb their ancestors were. I'd be embarrassed too if I was white,lol

Yes....and white includes too many cultures...but we are all lumped into one...because we have a lighter skin tone than other races.

Because White people SUCK! Naw I'm just kidding, its about time that the minority get something. Damn y'all got your for how long, let us have our time.

That's a good question.  It's probably just force of habit.  You may disagree, but I doubt that there's much - if any - lingering racism behind it.  People are becoming more educated and integrated these days.  Racism is a sad waste of the talents and capabilities of everyone, including white people.

There is a minority like any organisation. It just comes through environment or sometimes some incident has coloured their views.

Well...they SAY that they a group interested in promoting the social interests of Caucasian people.  They SAY they aren't affiliated with white supremists groups...but it's a bunch of $hit.

Most likely because larger numbers of black people don't live there compared to other races...

California is one for sure, and I am guessing that states like Nebraska, Iowa, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Wyoming, Montana, and Oregon, have not because generally these states are more populated by white's, or hispanic's. Sorry, I looked for a link, but couldn't find one on this issue.

The white people you are refering to do not want to lose their place at the top of the food chain. It goes back to the days of slavery when poor white people who didn't have the money to own slaves still supported slavery because they didn't want to be on the bottom of the ladder. A lot of white people still have a serious problem with increased competition and the possibility that it will be easier for them to be beat out for a change. Let me tell you white people are some of the laziest people you'll meet and it's because things have been so easy for them for so many years. When you've never personally experienced something it's really hard for you to understand how hard it really is.
