these days, I am lucky to be just walking straight... back I wanted to come back here and say one more thing, that is...I hesitated about posting where I am from. Because I know there is a lot of discussions about that other country right now, and there are a lot of fears, unknown, and rumors, and some of them true while others aren't... Please do NOT let me deter anyone from wanting to discuss those issues. I do NOT have any problems with it. Once again. I value the freedom of speech greatly. I didn't want to hinder discussions that is why I have kept my ethnic background hidden for so long...alas, can't keep it hidden forever...*sigh... |

I agree with you... Tiananmen Square was awful...but the Nanking Massacre was even worse. It was the Holocaust of the East but not very many people know about it... (I hesitate to post that as well for I don't want anyone to blame one country for committing such an atrocity to another. It was the PEOPLE that were involved that were at fault...) if you or anyone are interested: Part of history....but be warned...very triggering and graphic also(photos) ...and yes, relatives again...LOL Hey, what can I say, there are a lot of us....LOL (but, I am not related to ALL of them... ) Last edited by who moi; 07-23-2008 at 12:49 AM. |

Back to the actual topic of this thread, I was remembering the band-aid era when dozens of music stars joined forces to make records for foreign and domestic relief to the hungry and farmers.
Those videos bolstered my faith in humanity so much, the impression has been a lasting one. Plus, those recordings were iconic and soooo coool! "we are the world, we are the children..."

Well put, Cindy. You know, whenever I fill out any type of paperwork/application or even just a survey sort of thing I notice that there is always a section to tell what race or nationality you are. It's always optional but I just can't see how that information is necessary. So......I answer the question anyway but I always check the "other" box and then put "HUMAN". That's what I am - I am of the human race. And I believe that's all that matters.

The other thing is that some races are more susceptible to certain medical conditions, or react more seriously to them, so, in a medical situation, I answer it. Marketing research is the sketchy one to me. On the one hand, it's justified to ask because there are different selling strategies for different demographic groups and that information helps the client identify the correct approaches to appeal to said markets. In this case our differences can make an impact on market trends, but, at the same time, if we're all interested in the same product... you get where I'm going. Ours seems to be a nation that wants to celebrate our "sameness" yet, simultaneously maintain our "oneness". It's a tough nut to crack, stats seem to be both a blessing and a curse when it comes to us humans.
