Search Results: different ethnic backgrounds

I was just reading this really dumb article post about 10 reasons why a woman shouldn't date a Mexican man because I was bored and had nothing much better to do, which are mostly just stupid stereotypes. All I ready on the comments below are Anti-Mexican coming from all women of many different racial backgrounds.

As a Mexican-American man, I don't fit into any of these stereotypes from the article. I suck at cooking, I'm not very assertive and I'm not the compassionate type. In fact, I'm a borderline misanthrope who's mostly reserved of his personality. I hate almost everyone.

On the other hand, I also dislike the negative stereotypes of all Mexican men being too possessive, perverted, prideful/macho, alcoholic and unhygienic along with being portrayed as criminal wife beaters and rapists (And no, Donald Trump has nothing to do with my question at this moment).

I hear many egotistical ladies on the internet acting as if they deserve to settle more than they actually deserve and then proclaim that they're too good for Mexican men.

If any of you ladies really have this sentiment about being too good for Mexican men, then don't flatter yourselves. You can prefer to ride on a dog's dick over a Mexican man for all I care. Just don't lump me into the same group as the bad ones.

who's of a different racial/ethnic, religious and political background?

As a Hispanic-American in the Southwest of the US, I'm sometimes very cautious of all the whites and blacks trespassing in my all Hispanic neighborhood to see if they won't cause any trouble or racial attacks.

We all have to admit that we are all a bit secretly racist to a degree. In fact, I think white people in this day and age need to stop pretending to be friendly and tolerant of all the non-white Caucasians for the sake of pleasing the PC era of society when deep down, they still somewhat have hostility towards us and others who aren't like them.

I'm asking this as an individual who rarely sees racism. With that said, let me give you my background.
I grew up in what was called "The Ghetto" back in my home town. I'm white, but most of my neighbors were African American (black). However, though there was some issues with cops going after AA's more so than whites. It was never a big issue outside of the police department.
Moving to Atlanta as to where the majority of the population is African American. I saw almost no traces of racism from either side. Except for once on a train. To where there was a minor incident with an older white male, but beyond that. I was treated fairly, and so saw all races treating one another fairly.
Then I moved to Seattle, and yet to see a single sign of racism outside of the occasional stories of cops profiling on occasion, but nothing from the common folk.
After my last move to Houston, and with all the Ferguson/Garner situations going on. I really started thinking about the racial issues that the media keeps spouting. Saying that whites are against African Americans, and that African Americans are against whites. However, I honestly just don't see it at all, and like I said before. If I do, it's very rare. Maybe I'm lucky, and have yet to see it?
Please keep in mind, that I'm not one of those "only hangs out with my own race" kind of individual. A majority of my close friends are actually of different ethnics, and my fiance is Filipino.

New Zealand’s flag is based on the British Union flag, reflecting New Zealand’s history as a former British colony, New Zealand’s largely British ethnic heritage, and the fact that the British royal family continues to be the New Zealand royal family too.

It’s been suggested that New Zealand should change its flag to one showing a fern on a black background. Both can be seen here: link

Do you support a change or not?

I oppose because I think it’s stupid. New Zealand is not like the USA, which rebelled against the British government. New Zealand is not like Canada, which has a large anti-British demographic (the French Canadians, especially the Quebecois). New Zealand is not like India or Nigeria, whose British populations largely left after independence: on the contrary, New Zealand continues to be mostly white and British. Changing the flag would be a denial of reality, whether you like reality or wish it were different. Whether you support or oppose what the British did in New Zealand, it is what it is. As long as the whites remain, the indigenous Maori aren’t going to have any real power. So what’s the point in changing the flag?

Note this question is not about monarchy versus republic. It is simply about the flag.
