Of course not, asians only glow because they can't get rid of the alcohol quick enough because of thier small peckers causing alcohol build up. 😉

if you're talking about whites i have news for you:

africans enslaved each other well before europeans ever did. how the hell do you think they got slaves in the first place? africans living in coastal towns raided the inland villages, then sold slaves to the europeans who visited coastal cities. persians/arabs also bought slaves (particularly females) as concubines.

I know, what's your point? Justifying ones decisions because "someone else did it" is childish, pedantic, and stupid.
 
this thread is making me LOL like mad. Again, reason # 1091283123 on why one should not browse ATOT @ work.

I'd say the embarassing thing about my race is going to KoreaTown and watching all the posers and the girls ( a lot of them are a bunch of whiners, attention whores, and the way they speak korean is annoying as fvck..'whine whine whine whine whine~~~~!!!')

The indian snobbishness from being brought up in a society still choked with the caste system.

Not me, personally (US born and raised), but it's a problem with my parents' generation.

Actually, the real problem is some from my ethnicity think they just know exactly what is wrong with my ethnicity and can speak for all of us :roll:


...problem is most prevalent especially with ABCDs

EDIT: The real problem with people from India is that they are intimidated by Westerners and tend to stick within their own circle. It's often mistaken for arrogance or "clannishness", but really has to do with coming from a society where you are taught to be obedient - seen, not heard - right from childhood. When that kind of a person enters an extroverted society in the west, he or she is handicapped by lack of social skills.
 
I think there is some snobbishness amongst some Indians I've known, though for the most part they're one of the most amicable races on the planet (concepts like honor has meaning). Such diversity would be expected in a nation that large.

On the one side, war crimes that made the German's blush in WWII (Lithuanian).

On the other, severe alcoholism (Slavic).

Aren't those two traits mutually exclusive?

One would think, but somehow my grandparents have survived so far.

And making a comment meant solely to incite a flamewar is equally childish, pedantic, and stupid.

That's not embarrassing, that's domination.

I am not the slightest bit embarrassed that my ancestors were conquerors. The people whose ass you kicked would have gladly kicked your ass if they were able to do so. Remember that.
