Maybe you should hang out with cooler white friends?


What is it with people judging an entire race based on the small sample they are in contact with? lol

I am a professional person and I deal with the public. I have a very large sample size from which to draw my conclusions. Like Robert said, when I am among ethnics it's like someone gave me an oxygen mask.

But you are emailing from Scotland. How would you know what the typical American is like?

You don't have to live in America to know you can't judge an entire race that way.

More PC BS. There are differences between ethnic groups, but maybe you're not old enough or attuned enough to have noticed.

Of course you do. There's no way someone from Scotland could possibly have any idea of how Americans are!

Lol it was such a stupid question

Are these differences due to ethnicity or due to culture.

Not really. I am talking to you as an ethnic Mediterranean European who grew up in the Midwest. The differences between a Midwestern Lutheran, Episcopalian, Methodist, United Church of Christ Member, etc. and an ethnic Catholic are quite dramatic in my opinion.
