<p>these threads are really stupid, and i couldn't resist, i just had to start one of my own...hopefully one that will become "controversial"...so...</p>
<p>i've been to visit many colleges, i go to tjhsst with a total of about 4% minorities, and i admit i'm addicted to CC. growing up, i was surrounded with minorities, then when i actually entered HS, it was like BAM...where'd everybody gooooo? it's kind of annoying that a lot of you say things like "oh, i don't really know many black/hispanic ppl etc. etc..." Maybe if everybody were more "welcoming" and not so ignorant, you wouldn't scare everybody off! anyways, the "dream" is for me to marry a nice hispanic boy blah blah blah, but i really don't care. what i do care about is having some options. are there any guys out there who are either a) a minority b) not ignorant or c) willing to experience a new culture, who are in college or going to college to give me some flippin hope for the world?</p>
<p>It has nothing to do with ignorance, if you are refering to the other threads. It has everything to do with the personal preferences of what people find attractive. I could list you a handful of ethnicities/races that I'm naturally attracted to and another handful that I'm not naturally attracted to.</p>

<p>a) a minority b) not ignorant or c) willing to experience a new culture
there are many people like that. im one of em . heck in my old school i was a minority in a country where im the majority. i can say that i can be attracted to any race/ethnicity. that doesnt matter to me. what matters is if the girl is fine or not.</p>
<p>The thing about the asian boy looking for white girls threads is that it wasnt about attractiveness necessarly if you read the threads the asian men post. Their reasoning behind wanting only white girls is that some said no asian girls want them or some crap and others thought of white girls as some sort of prize.</p>
<p>So basically you're looking for people who are either a. hispanic b. know about hispanics or c. want to be hispanic? I'd have to say that that is pretty ignorant as well.</p>
<p>For example, you talk about welcoming people and acceptance, but you don't give a detailed explanation of how people aren't welcoming. </p>
<p>I'm white, I speak proper english, I don't like rap or anything of that sort, I value education, and I want to be successful in the world of business in the future.</p>
<p>Lets say you come up to me and we start talking, and assuming you conform to the cultural ideals of hispanics heavily, we probably a. won't understand eachother (not due to a language gap either, I speak some spanish, and I'm sure you speak english) b. can't relate or c. don't like eachother.</p>
<p>The big issue I have with "equality" in America is that it's impossible to attain when <em>every</em> ethnic culture has its own set of ideals and guidelines. </p>
<p>If you decide you want to live your life like a traditional hispanic, you'll have to find someone who shares those values, which will be fairly easy among other hispanics, but difficult among other ethnicities for the most part. People will not judge you by your ethnicity nowadays for the most part, they will judge you by how you act. So if you happen to be black, but don't act like a "gansta rapper", you won't be treated like one. However, if you do act and look the part, people will not accept you if they don't accept the set of values that goes along with it.</p>
<p>I and alot of my friends who have been to the US have ound the people to be cool. Not much people who look down on us because due to color or behavior/culture. In fact I have friends and family who are minorities in the US who have become succesful/rich in the US so the whole lack of equality for minorities thing is overblown</p>
<p>the person who started this thread said it herself
"these threads are really stupid, and i couldn't resist, i just had to start one of my own...hopefully one that will become "controversial"</p>
<p>The point is people seem to not understand that not everyone is the same. I would think it's pretty obvious, but everyone has their own likes/dislikes or prejudices.</p>
<p>haha, this thread started exactly what i thought it would. my friend and i were laughing at all the ridiculous threads about people digging other people, and i was like, heck, i'm bored, why not? to chris c2: (hey, we're both c2's) i do experience other cultures, all the time. i go to tjhsst so i'm surrounded by just about every culture besides my own. i have friends from every background, and i actually take interest in the world around me, etc. i don't understand how you guys can say "we would have nothing in common"....are you afraid of what you might find? you'll never know until you actually go out and meet knew people and learn from them, and if in the end you do have nothing in common, at least you'll have the experience.</p>
<p>to businessguy: i dance salsa, i eat empanadas, i speak spanish. couldn't someone of a different ethnicity do this as well? i have plenty of friends who are not hispanic and are in hispanic alliance with me simply because they like the culture. i am a member of the black student union, but i'm not black. why can't one just take the time to get to know one another?</p>
<p>i suggest you all read A Hope in the Unseen. you could all learn something from Cedric Jennings.</p>
<p>He was probably serious about the reading part, that is one thing I did not do much in high school, I basically SparkNoted my way to passing my AP English tests with 4s.</p>
