7. Just a guess. Never done the research, but it could be the fact that the vast majority of Mexicans are here to work and take manual labor jobs outdoors in the hot sun.
8. It's true. Have you heard the term "Patel Motel?" Buying hotels is a popular thing in the Indian immigrant culture, and networking among other Indian immigrants gives them somewhat of an in to the industry.
9. Economics. POOR people commit more crimes per capita.

At least you raised your post count!

Right back at ya! ;)

Oh yeah, the stereotype that blacks have large wangs: according to a recent study, by and far there is no large difference in erect penis size between blacks and whites. (Whites average 6.5", blacks 6.6") However flaccid penis size is where the difference comes in. I can't remember the numbers exactly but there's apparantly as much as a one-inch difference on average.

Bottom line: it just looks bigger. "It's a show-er, not a grower." ;)

What are you? Some sort of penis scout?

hahaha not exactly.. just embarrassingly bad shower facilities at my high school gym, and first year residence... I haven't seen another penis in 3 years;)

Kind of hard to see it when it is behind you eh?
Bwahahahahaha!!:laugh::laugh::laugh:

1. Don't know about their thoughts on death.

2. Not sure about this one. I live by the water and every black friend I have and
most of the people I know that are black can swim and are not afraid of water.
Probably has something to do with the fact that people who cannot swim are
alittle afraid of water, (probably a good idea to be wary of water if you cannot swim),
and most black family probably couldn't afford to get their chilcdren swimming
lessons, and since they probably themselves didn't know how to swim, than
their children couldn't learn how to swim.

3. This one is funny. I know its not true, and I don't think I woiuld believe it
if someone told it to me. Next think your going to hear is that white peopl e
have bigger brains so they are smarter.

4. I have actually read from more than one study, during a college class about
dispelling myths that on average a black male's penis is shorter than a white males
penis, however black male's usually has a larger girth, than white males.

5. WOP

WOP does not stand for Without Papers or Without Passports.
While widely thought to be true the origin of the word is not this.

6. Guido is a term for Italians that try to protray themselves as mafia.
IE see the Jersey shore.

7. From my understand beautiful ray of sunshine comes from the process of crossing the Rio Grande not from
sweating alot.

8. Not sure about this one. Most of the gas stations and conviences stores are not owned by middle-easterns.

9. While I have heard this one before, I don't know enough of the facts to answer intelligently. I can only guess
that blacks are usually associated with Urban areas where crime tends to be higher. Also blacks tend to be
in lower income situations where crime is more prevalent. Put those together one might say that yes blacks
commit more crimes. Not going to say that for sure though.

And do they own these sports because of genetic superiority? Or is it because they are in many situations requiring them to run and are raised playing basketball in the cities often. I wonder if most black runners/basketball players are from suburbs or the city. Hmmm

I really don't know WTF you're getting at. Pools exist in the city, public pools probably more so than in the suburbs/country. And basketball courts are everywhere.

The "situations requiring them to run thing" ...uh....yeah....erm.

I find it amusing that you spelled dispel incorrectly. What's amusing is that you spelled it EXACTLY like misspell but with a 'd'.

It's a fact that blacks commit more crimes, when looking at prison statistics. No, their wangs aren't bigger, many studies have shown this to be false, they are within the average of whites. Last, I have heard that blacks' bone structure in their femur is straighter, whereas European descent (white) are curved. This gives blacks a distinct advantage when running and jumping... How much of that is true, who knows.

I am not a racist at all, but I'd like to know the origins of these racist ideas / slogans / etc.... Most of these I've heard from the media, or... gulp, my family.

1. Many black people are afraid of dead people. I was telling a family member about how I was at a funeral a couple weeks ago, all of the black people sat in the back and didn't look at the open casket body. My family member told me this was common... they don't like funerals and almost never have open casket funerals.

2. Many black people come are afraid of the water and can't swim well at all. ?? I assume the can't swim well thing comes from the fact that they don't like water.

3. Black people have extra/different muscles in their calves that enables them to jump higher / run faster. My [black] African-American studies teacher told me this is a myth.

4. Black people have large penises. I remember watching some sex tv show a while ago that said black penises are on average, .25" longer than white males. .25" is about the length of a pencil eraser (not the long, aftermarket add-on erasers either). I have spoken to more than one white female in my time who only date black people because.... and I quote... "they get all up in you, they are so much bigger than white guys." The girl was about 23 or 24.

5. WOP ... italian WOPs. I'm under the assumption that WOP stands for with out papers. Where does this come from and does it still offend italians today?

6. Guido ... another italian thing. I am dark complected, you've all seen my pics. A guy in the food court at the mall was openly staring at my girlfriend once and I made a funny face at him. He was throwing his food away and when he walked by me he said "Fvcking guido." I said "I always wanted to be Italian!". Is guido an offensive term?

7. beautiful ray of sunshine... this is... because Mexicans backs are wet from swimming the rio grande or because they sweat a lot???? Or something different? I sweat a lot, and once again, am dark complected so my brother always calls me a beautiful ray of sunshine.

8. I'm under the assumption that middle eastern / Indian people own many hotels and gas stations per capita. Do they? And why?

9. And yes, I am also under the assumption that black people commit more crimes per capita that other races so I feel *less* comfortable in certain situations (in the city, at night, on the streets) than other races. Is this because of racist police or do they truly, legitimately commit more crimes per capita and therefore do pose a higher % risk of commiting a crime in certain situations versus other races.


These are pretty much the only things I need help finding truths about, but I'll try to think of more.



1) Open casket funerals are pretty rare actually, which most people in american don't realize. I believe that it is a primarily Catholic practice which has filtered down through the years to become more common. Some people find open casket funerals to be offensive, and that might be what you're seeing, a trickle down of cultural differences.

2) I've definitely never heard this one, although now that you mention it I rarely see black people at the beach, in an area that is about ~15 black. I've never thought about it, and it might be coincidence, as I surely can;t think of any reason for it.

3) I went running this semester several times with an Indian friend of mine and a black friend of mine. Basically, they said that on average, the calve muscles in black specifically African American people were longer then those in most other races. The reasoning for this was that of selective breeding in the US, although it is believed that over time this benefit will be negated, and is even now negligable.

4) Completely not true. As sited several times before, a study from the late 90's took and did a survey with people of not only multiple races, but of the same races living in different climate. There was no difference in penis size that wasn't negligable, and average size was significantly smaller then I expected (I don't recall the exact numbers). Something interesting in this study was that it looked at average size, and while it may havebeen a fluke or what not, but white men followed a bell curved standard distrubution for size (ie most people had dead on average, a fewer less slightly bigger/small, and so on), and black men tended to have more extreme outliers (the had more significantly below average and significantly above average), although they still were primarily centered.

5) Never heard of this before now, I won't lie and pretend that I have.

6) I've heard it used jokingly in the US by Italians living here, refering to themselves as being all gangsta, joking around, and nobody was offended. I hear people actually residing in Italy take extreme offense to it though.

7) beautiful ray of sunshine refers not just to mexicans in my experiance, but anyone who travels accross water unpermitted to come into the states. I've definitely heard cubans refered to as wetbacks too. Definitely an offensive term.

8) not a clue.

9) It's an issue of average income. The big key here being that theft and violent crime have a statistically higher percentage of blacks convicted of then whites. However, looking at percentages, an equivalent difference of the average income of white and black families exists, and most people commiting those crimes are lower income households.

1. Not that many people like to be reminded of their own mortality

2. There was rarely a colored only pool for them to learn to swim in and you know ole Jim Bob would not allow Junior to swim with the negroes.

3. They were bred during the days of slavery quite like cattle, Big man with Big woman to produce larger offspring.

4. Penis size has often been linked to lack of mental faculties, but typically the taller and larger an animal/person is usually means they are packing more heat then their brethren.

5. Dunno much about Italians, not that many of them outside Joisey.

6. Just a slang expression, sort of like Gaijin is in Japan.

7. It's a popular hairstyle, it is low maintenance and it gets kind of fvckin hot down in Mejico so they need something that is not going to be too hard to maintain and relatively cool. Why people call them that and not calling the youth of today Mr Saggy pants or Droopy Drawers I have no idea?

8. Yes. No one wants to work at gas stations for fear of being shot, so its an easy opening for someone FOB. Lots of Patels in the hotel business as well, why most of them are named Patel baffles even some of my Indian friends. They hear that name and they think hotel as well.

9. Most violent crimes are committed in largely poor and drug addled areas. There is disproportionately more blacks and hispanics living in Watts, Compton, Harlem and Bedford-Stuyvesant then are living in your richy rich neighborhoods. Question to ponder is robbing a liquor store at gunpoint worse then defrauding your employees out of their pensions? White collar crimes and the real freaky deaky mental cases typically are committed by a disproportionate number of white people. Maybe white people just have bigger goals or are more polished at it, then their darker skinned brethren.
