I've noticed that black people generally have deeper voices than white people, etc.  Why is this?

Black people generally are physically dominant to all other races and therefore have strong voices.\nThey are, on the other hand, usually not as intellectually equip as some others.\nIt is obvious why if you can just take an honest look at it. Where do blacks originate from and where do whites originate from. Flared nostrils are for greater air intake. greater muscle mass for running and fighting. Heightened sense of awareness to detect danger. They needed these things to survive in an African environment. A high IQ does little to help one out run a lion.\nWhites and some Asian people on the other hand had to be able to plan well ahead in order to survive a harsh winter. They needed to finds the means and invent many things to help them survive. Though blacks and some other warmer climate peoples needed to use their intelligence to survive as well and whites and certain Asian peoples needed some physical abilities to make it too, each of the peoples were giving and or developed what they needed most to survive in the premodern world.\nIn each case there are exceptions, however generally these are where the gifts and talents of most of the people in the particular races fall.

That bothers me to. I am white & honest to goodness most black people have been better to me than whites have. i am good to people that deserve it regardless of their race,age,size or sexual prefrences. But I also had a great Mother & Father that taught me that ! Alot of racism is from people not being taught that everyone is equal !!!

I can't say for sure, but I have two theories:\n\n1) There are more white people who get far enough to audition for those parts, so the chance of a white person getting the part is greater just because of numbers.\n\n2) Casting directors choose white people because they still consider white people to be the baseline (normal) and non-white people to be somewhat "exotic". (It's not exactly the word I was looking for, but it works.)  I think they may assume that everyone relates to white people fairly equally, but they don't relate equally to Chinese or African-Americans.  Like somehow they're not actually as human as whites...?\n\nEither way, it's true that it's improving and I'm sure it will continue to improve.  Sometimes they even have interracial couples on TV without making a big deal about it! :o)

Black what...? If you are referring to Human Beings please say people.....and not all black people yell racial profiling...I have an Irish accent and I get racially profiled every time I say something in public but I gave up yelling about it years ago because some people are just ignorant.

I'm black and I see nothing wrong with being proud to be white or black.  You should be proud of who you are.  But yes, it is a double standard in society.  I think that if more whites did not worry about being politically correct and say what you feel, sooner or later blacks would just "get over it".  But since we rarely hear whites show their pride, it's received the wrong way.  Any type of racial double standards are based on our own ignorance.

Have you ever heard a recording of your voice while speaking and thought "wow, that sounds nothing like me".  I think that is part of it, what they hear in their heads sounds better than what is actually coming out of their mouth.\n\nAlso they may have friends, family, etc that have never told them NOT to sing... or were never honest enough to say "you can't carry a tune or you are off pitch".

That's racism in itself. Not all black people have to act a certain way in order to be "black" It's their heritage that makes them black, not that they listen to rap music, wear huge baggy clothes and all of those stupid ethnic stereotypes. You can't act white if you're black, you're only acting like yourself and to even characterize how a person acts to the color of their skin is just wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.

Nothing is wrong with it, but some people feel that it is like mixing two different species, as it sounds like you dad thinks. Some people have latent racial bias and some don't.

I'm also a white African and I also don't understand that. I have more African roots than most of the black African Americans, my family tree goes back 400 years. When I meet black people that's European they never call themselves African Europeans, so why do they do that in the USA. Personally I think it's causes division between different races. I thought we were trying to stop race separation, because it causes racism.

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.

inferiority complex ?\n\n(some whites make fun of blacks.  whats curious is why blacks making fun of whites is so accepted and promoted in pop culture)

in order to satisfy one' ego one feels that he is superior to others and starts looking others as inferior to him.it will not stop there.another reason is we are conditioned to know that white is superior to black and begin hating the black people and love white skinned people. one more reason is if one group of people  is in possession of wealth, and power, it treats others as inferior to them.

If you were both blind, would you know the differences between you (other than maybe an accent!).\n\nI have talked with people on the phone who had assumed that because I sound white, I'm white and must automatically agree with their views and their prejudices on racial matters.\nOther other side, I have talked with none whites who assume because I sound white I am and therefore have the selection of prejudices they 'assume' I have on these things.\n\nI deeply resent those assumptions from both sides. No one gave anyone the right to assume to spreak for me, or to assume anything for me.\n\nI have listened to Black people talk and have heard their colour / racial prejudices, just I have with Brown people (Indian / Asian men seem to love their women to have 'light' skin tones...!).\n\nI have had none-white colleagues and friends who have shared the same tastes as me, liked the same books, films and activities ...and sometimes the same taste in female compansionship too. I once had none white girlfriend too.\n\nI suspect that your colleague who said "whites / blacks could never be 100% honest friends because were too different," was speaking about / for herself.\n\nPersonally I get pi***d off whenever I hear someone speak on 'behalf of others in such broad sweeping statements'.... and WITHOUT their permissions to do so.\n\nRegards.\nSash.

You realize that there is a whole section of American society that says "y'all" or "getter done" or even "howdy". Why have you not asked why SOME white people say and sound the way they do as well? Asking a well rounded question like that would take the racist edge off of your perfectly fine question.

It’s not a question of colour but financial status. Poor people are more likely to steal. In the USA the rate of blacks is high among the poor. This can be the reason, I guess. Well, in my country many more white people steal.

Black people feel that because their ancestors were the victims of slavery & oppression, they have the right to complain about what white people do. I feel sorry for the whites today that have to constantly watch what they say around us. It causes white people to act more hostile towards blacks. I think black people need to have a sense of humor & stop gettting offended when whites open their mouth to say something...life is just too short to harbor any resentments.

yes it is hypocrisy. you are right.some say that we took the word from whites to take the control of our identity as black americans.i use the word.i use those other words too.this is the real killer, in private there are still white folks that call blacks, the n-word.and there are black folks that call white people, whatever it is we say in private.i think that he is lucky that the black folks in the audience did kick his azz.i'm not saying any of those words are right all i know is we have to live with people and sometimes people say the craziest things.i would not stand up in a room full of white people and say derogatory things, because i would not want the shoe to be on the other foot. and im with you his career is totally over.
