if their sister has a mustache then he's hispanic

but in all seriousness...i think for the most part it is pretty obvious. coming from Los Angeles...i think i can usually tell the difference...

hispanics tend to usually have a shade darker skin...but that's not always the case...sometimes it's tricky to tell the difference you're right...

in general though, the attitude towards the french here is more of a feeling of a superiority than it is a true hatred, ppl like to think french people (and canadians too sometimes) are wussies.

I havent had any trouble from people hearing my name, only reaction really has been from other french ppl who go "OMG are you french?"

I think maybe im like 1/128th french or something, we kinda broke off from the french when the first of us came in in like 1669 or some crazy way back year. I found stuff in my attic written about it.

it turns out that LaRue is the french word for avenue, maybe i descended from some street people hehe

in all actuality i think people from say england, australia, france etc are for the most part treated fantastic in the US. probably the only stereo type we have about the french is that their rude...which i think is just a misunderstanding of french culture...but anyway...as long as people are nice to others in the US...i don't think they'd be privy to any racism at all...

and they'd take all our ladies with their stupid accents

I New Zealand we have a treaty, for the soveriegn and the maori. Maori own a certain amount of land and visa versa with some other stuff too. this was signed back in the 1880's (i think, can't rememebr too much bout Social Studies) years later white ppl have some of the maori land. They are getting pissed off and want it back. ie. there is land that stretches along a beach and a bit out to sea that belongs to a maori tribe, it's not to be used by the public. The government disagree and say it's for everyone to use, for swimming and fishing etc. Maori ppl gathered together and started a huge march through NZ, debating that the 'white ppl stole our land, the treaty says it's ours'. This issue still hasn't been resolved and don't know what the fuck is going on.

We have a lot of indian, asia etc ppl in our country. The indians own most of the Dairy's (Corner shops) in NZ and a lot of Asian's own Fish & Chip shops. i heard my Nan talking bout this and because she is Maori she thinks the maori should own them, no logical explanation she just thought that.

Hinduism is....
A guide to various aspects of Indian religious thought
and inter-religious understanding and religious tolerance.
"Its chief mark consists in concentration on the spiritual aspect,
belief in the intimate relationship of philosophy and life,
the inseparability of theory and practice and the insistence
on intuition coexisting with the acceptance of authority."

If you will be interested in more information on Hinduism you can check on http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Forum/9410/hindu1.html

Indians dislike pakistanis but are usually nice to english

I hate that bitchass Indian attitude . A very good Pakistani friend of mine(I treat him like a lil' bro) lives with an Indian friend of mine. Even otherwise conflicts between Indian's and Pakistani's is non-existent here. In India, it's a completely different story.
