Thanks for the pictures. In all Germanic/Anglo countries ethnic groups do not mix- it is because the mainstream does not encourage them to and is stuck up to them. So, you have an Apartheid so sweetly called multi-culturalism. In a place like Brazil or Panama ethnic groups are encouraged to mix more and integrate more because the mainstream is thousands of times more welcoming and encouraging them to do so. There is less emphasis on race, no rigid compartmentalization and the whole place is just infinitely friendlier. To mix, you have to be allowed to mix and welcomed into the fold. If you are not, well, you have the US.The racial make up is deceptive by day, because Irvine has many large companies and people travel here for work. After dark, or at local grocery stores, you find the true demographics. If someone were to ask "why are these ethnic groups so exclusive? Why don't they mix?", that person obviously doesn't live here, and it's pointless to explain.
The article is not funny. It is actually quite sad! The person has fully accepted the America-induced role that he is supposed to play, learned to live with it and even feel comfortable with it. No global solutions, no other countries involved I just feel quiet desperation when I read something like that and thank my lucky stars that I have been able to live as an expat and seek out new horizons and new nations where people are not so anal about all this. He, on the other hand, has not.
Sure, that's where we got the mixed (biracial) kids from.ladislav wrote:Oh, I forgot that in the US people from E Asia are treated as a monolithic group. And so are European- descent people. So, do Indian people , Chinese and the 15% whites there date and marry each other in the end?
