have you ever had some reserves toward a different ethnicity from yours?

Yes, today on myLot. A Ugandan poster started a discussion that ranked the likelihood of different parts of Ugandan husbands to beat their wives. This is is so culturally different than that of the West, where wife beating happens regrettably, but is not legal. Apparently some Ugandan wives ask to be beaten as that proves their husbands love them! I find this morally repugnant. It harks back to the old days when a wife was her husband's property.

I consider this as a very interesting and bold discussion which someone is always very wary of touching.But but it is there.Well most of the people who come from some parts of the world lacks patience and tend to take everything personal and easily show disrespect to the fellow mylotters.Well I just tend to avoid them giving them time to get some more experience.

I sometimes find myself having issues when talking to people from countries where gender roles are really messed up, like another poster here. My other major issue is with certain people of different ethnicities that don't seem to understand the idea of personal space. I do not like to be touched by people I do not know well, despite the fact that I am affectionate with my close friends. I don't want people standing too close to me, or touching me, if they are strangers. I have this problem a lot at work, since many of our customers are foreign students that go to the college nearby. I don't want to be rude or mean, but I can't handle anyone being too close to me, so I have to find polite ways to step away or ask someone to step away.

i was brought up to have respect for other people"s culture but of course because they have a different way of doing things does not men we still cant agree as long as we all know where to draw the line,the issue of racism however is a big problem the world over but i dont allow it to bother my person cos am always proud of my race and expect every other person to be of their race
