Living in a Post-Racism world...

Obviously, various elements of all ethnic cultures (past and present) have been re-appropriated throughout the entire world... this is an example of monoculture, which will inevitably be the end result of globalism in the digital age. As time and technology progress, there will be less and less compartmentalization among people... Race does not even exist biologically... yet racism remains a contemporary issue throughout the entire world and class structure as culture progresses and evolves. From pre-emanicpation under the Lincoln administration to current escalating world tensions across all ethnic groups as class warfare and decentralization escalate as contemporary social ills, racism is a serious problem in America as well as throughout the world. I don't choose to find racism in the world... I see things as the parody or satire that they are meant to be. Nothing offends me. I myself am Iroquois, and I think that in order to highlight Native struggle in modern america we need to examine the ongoing marginalization that exists even today...

Race Relations

Race does not exist biologically. All these constructions of race are culturally created.

I'm mixed, so it doesn't matter who I date, or even with whom I'm interacting, it's always going to be interracial.

I personally am only physically attracted to black, mexican, and to a lesser extent white men. I've tried to make myself be physically attracted to asian men but I'm not able.

But what I have to say about my preferences is irrelevant... living on the earth for almost 30 years has given me plenty of time to really observe the way people interact and feel about other groups of people... perhaps being mixed has made it easier for me to interact with other ethnic groups, so I can observe them from the inside out.

Obviously, white people seem to be "all or nothing" when it comes to accepting other ethnic groups... either they're totally cool with minorities or they hate anybody who's not white. Also, a lot of times white people single out a certain group- i.e. middle easterners, jews, gays, etc, and are cool with every group aside from which ever one has been chosen to be scapegoated.

It seems obvious that asian people don't like black people but spend their entire lives wishing they could be white.

Black people seem to be pretty accepting of white people, asians, and mexicans so long as they feel like they're not being disrespected.

Mexicans seem to warm up to white or black people, but I have never really experienced the nuances of how they feel about asians.

It's just like Jerri Blank says- Black on white, outta site, black on sloat, there ain't no hope...

America is losing its lead in the space race as other countries challenge its dominance on the "final frontier", the head of Nasa has warned.

The more obvious rivals such as Russia and Europe have been joined by countries as diverse as Brazil, Israel and India, which are all launching their own space programmes.

A recent report on international space competitiveness by Futron, an American technology consultancy, concluded that "systemic and competitive forces threaten US space leadership". America had failed to keep track of how quickly the "globalisation" of space was occurring, the study said.

Meanwhile, as Asians and Europeans became increasingly enthusiastic about manned space exploration, public interest in the US was "limited", said the study. In 1998, the US launched 121 new satellites but that number had fallen to 53 - about 50 per cent of the total - by 2007.
