You are right on the money.  Even the ads in the magazines are predominantly "white".  Unless it is for a "black product" the ads that have black models are paired with white models and the black chick is always on the left.  Check it out.

How could it be racial discrimination?  You don't have a pic up, so we can't see you, and the name doesn't indicate one race or another.  Besides, most people aren't so petty like that.  And I went to your profile, and it says you haven't asked any questions before.  Were they under a different screenname or on a different website?

Well i'm going to focus on media and the obsession with being skinny....In alot of magazines, on television, and EVERYWHERE else you see underweight people and it's considered "beautiful"??! (only in america lol) But anyways, Teens and adults see this and want to be like this "perfect" image that they see....They go on CRaZy diets, starve themselves and have low self-esteem because of the media in America! What happened?? If you look at any old art work and you see "Healthy", beautiful, women but things have changed for the worse! I will NEVER conform!

What makes it seem wierd are the words on the side "What do Shoppers Want". It reminds me of Martin Luther Kings  I have a Dream speech. With the white people between the ladies. Its like theirs a hidden message there. But who knows?

Because in our society for some reason it is acceptable for a minority group to display pride and create segregated programs (ie: Image Awards, BET, MOBO Awards,etc..) but it is not acceptable for people in the majority groups to do the same. \n\nBesides the term "White Pride" has been abused by ignorant, backwards thinking people a for so long in our history all it does is imply Natzi pride. So even if you could, would you really want to put that kind of negative connotation on the back of your car? Certainly not.

I agree with you, and what never fails to amaze me is the number of young white middle class males who buy their stuff, and copy their idol's image. white  'gangsta wannabe's' are amusing additions to the street scene as long as you don't step on them.

I think what you meant by your statement about how "white ppl can be so blind" is not that you are calling all white people racist, but rather, you are wondering why white people seem to have a harder time seeing the consequences of racism or identifying their own racism.\n\nI think everyone is racist to some degree.  From my experience, there are two groups who admit it: \n\nThe first are those that are KKK-like extremists.  They admit to it, encourage it, and try to covert people to their belief system.\n\nThe second are people who try to not be racist, but were socialized or conditioned to see differences and attribute generalizations to people possessing those differences.\n\nI find the latter group - people who acknowledge their racism, are embarrassed by it and are trying to overcome it -- to generally be less racist than those who say "I am not racist."  Everyone who I have ever met that said "I am not a racist", I have found to be just that!\n\nTo those that say they are not racist, who do they want to find in a life partner?  Do you have requirements when it comes to specific race, gender, socio economic level, religion, body type, national origin or cultural heritage?  Don't lie.  eveyone does.  Well, that can be construed as racist, homophobic, classist, ethnophobic, etc.  We are all guilty. Admit it.\n\nYes, racism is in almost every skin color - but it's not necessarily racism based on skin color... it is bigtory based on any difference.  It Ruwanda it wasn't white people committing genocide, it was between the Tutsis and the Hutus.  In Germany, it was Aryan people against mostly other Caucasians.  In Germany it is now against the Turks.  In the catholic church it is against the homosexuals - not a race, but a difference in sexual orientation.  In the gay community there is bigotry against Transgendered people.  \n\nBasically, the real issue is not whether Latinos are racist against white people (which for some reason comes up all the time here at Yahoo Answers), but whether people in power and/or with authority are bigoted against a group with less power and/or authority.\n\nThink about it: What has a greater effect?  We have 2 imaginary men: The Senator from North Carolina and a Dishwasher from the local Olive Garden (I am making this up as an example... I don't know anything about the Senator from North Carolina, and I really hate the Olive Garden).  Both think that women don't belong in the workforce.  So, obviously in this scenario, both are sexist.  But, who really cares if the dishwasher is sexist?  What impact does that have on society?  That is not going to impact me, or anyone else for that matter outside of his family.  On the otherhand, if someone who has authority, who can make decisions that impact my life, that can create laws, that has more authority than I do, hates me for my gender, race, creed, weight, or sexual orientation, that is where it become an issue.  \n\nSo, to answer your question, because Caucasians are in a position of power in the United States, they do not directly feel the effects of racism.  They do hear it when it's blatant: when the KKK burns a cross on a lawn or when the Mayor of New Orleans uses the term Chocolate to describe his city, but they don't notice that standardized test questions are targeted toward the white middle class experience.  Math questions about the speed of two roller coaster cars don't make as much sense to someone who has never seen an amusement park.  A rat to a wealthy child might be a pet or a test subject - an animal that can be touched.  A rat to a poor child is more likely viewed as a bearer of disease, a pest.  When test writers don't take these differences into account when writing questions, it is subtle racism and classism that favors those who are of their status. My favorite example is Coco, the gorilla that knew sign language, got an answer wrong on an IQ test because she poi

Sucks does'nt it?\nI don't think there's anything you can do.Maybe change your name to Abdul or say you're black on your job applications.\nI'm not trying to sound mean to anyone but I've been there and it's ridicules!\nThere are so many groups out there demanding special attention that no one seems to care about us poor white folk.

I'm white and I agree. It's just like the black college funds, colleges, television etc... Lord forbid there be a white college fund or white college or a white tv station. I agree with your boyfriend that because of the history looooooooooong ago it puts a damper on things now. But we shouldn't have to suffer for the actions of others. I am proud to be white and I am proud to be an American and I am pround to be from Oklahoma. Shouldn't I be allowed to flaunt it?  And it's also ok for other races to make fun of us in their comic gigs or whatever and say the work "Cracker" referring to us but we aren't allowed to say the word "Nigger" referring to them. I don't think either word should be used. I don't think any word like that  should be used to describe anyone. But I can't say I am upset about the slaves being brought over here. I am glad their offsprings are here. They are my friends. If it weren't for the slaves being brought over we may not have some of the great people we do have. I am disappointed in what happened to alot of them though. I feel for them. Though thank God that thinking is different now.\n\nOMGOsh!!!!!!!!!! \nI wrote out that so horrible "N" word to make a point and it got substituted with symbles but the word CRACKER is still there. See my point people. If we are supposed to be equal lets be equal.

This is my opinion only but I believe that white america has such an influence on how we view others that it can rub off on other races that are new to this country.  I am sure that there are latinos that are flat out racist but I don't think that it is as big a problem as it is with the white race.  I know many many many latinos and they are like my family.

Maybe if you have ever experienced racism you would see.It is not unfounded,I have seen questions like "do all mexicans have diseases?" And the "SWARM from Mexico....."These are things that some white ppl do not see as being derogatory.But I certaintly do.I have experienced it first hand ,all the time.Especially lately,wonder why.I had a job where I experienced daily.It sux.

Statistically there are far more white people online in the USA then any other race... so there should be more white jerks on too.  Of course you never know if the messages you see were posted by whites just because they said they were.  I think there are equal numbers of hateful people in all races.

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.

The white American male is the minority. He's the one who's ignored. His benefits are none existent. He has to be blind or pregnant to get any assistance. He's not allowed to ask for anything for fear of being called names. It's a conspiracy I tell ya. \n.

well you are not the only one, my hubby is white n im black, we were in spain and  went in this restaurant sat and waited for my husband to bring food coz it was self service, you wont believe this white employee came and told me to stand up, this really hurts especially when it comes to skin colors, why behave that way i thought racism was ignorant but they still do it so intensly, even in shopping malls they wont serve you  or ask you how can they help you. i was really hurt by that experience, and some of them just think black ladies are prostitutes and nothing else.

I think it's similar to "race discrimination" it's only the whites that do it.\n\nhttp://thebaldchemist.blogspot.com/
