Why do inter-race relations in America seem so much worse than in Europe, Australia, Canada, etc?
Sorry for not being specific. I mean general relations and interactions between people from different racial backgrounds. Specifically racial intolerance and or violence. The way people are referred to, or refer to themselves as 'African American', 'Italian American', 'Mexican American',etc. Seems like, in a way, they want to distance themselves from other Americans, or other people want to be distant from them. I don't know if that's true. It's just seems strange, in the UK everyone is just British and the only time you would use 'African British' or 'White British' is on a census or other sorts of paperwork.

Other Cultures & Groups: Do you think America is going back in time with race relations?
Since Obama got elected. White American's animosity towards black Americans has grown. They feel like they're losing their country. That they're behavior is being dictated to. There's already groups across America arming themselves in order to " take back" the country. And hate groups are on the rise. How long until they start attacking black people? What do you think? Hans The media doesn't report those type of things.

Does interracial dating make race relations worse?
it seems that most of the time..when people interracial date. One person in that relationship succumbs submits to the other partners culture beliefs..etcTherefore if they have children, the children only relate to one side of their familyThis is common among non whites who date whites mostly. But generally it's common when one of the partner's is black raised in a predominately white society dates ANY non black.that black person typically has a low self esteem about themselves and generally goes over to the non black side adopting non black culture beliefs ideals . Creating children racist towards blacksThe same case with any group that interracial dates with whites..but i think for black people that date ANY non black it's worse. Generally because they think low of themselves anyway if they are desiring to interracial date

Do you think we are better off now than 100 years ago, race relations?
I think we came a long way. I think most people just like to complain and blame their woes on other races. Or use their race as an excuse. I don't think it's really that bad for any race these days

Do you think that the movie "Crash" is an accurate portrayal of race relations in the US?
Just saw the movie... my initial reaction was that it seemed extremely exaggerated and was purposefully trying to evoke " white guilt." Is that my optimistic ignorance talking? Or are things really like that? I am white, but I live in a city with a significant nearly 50 % Hispanic population, and there are not to my knowledge many pervasive " race issues" like are depicted in " Crash." I was close friends with several minorities at school and they never complained either. Do I just happen to live in a " good" city?

Do you think that race relations in the USA are better in the North than in the South?
I am not American, but have traveled the country extensively. People always seem to think that the North is more integrated than the South. However, I saw racism in places like Michigan, New York and Connecticut where I felt that people were more integrated in Georgia Atlanta and even Arizona. What is the general consensus of racism and territory in America? Is the North South divide just something that belongs in the history books?I am not British Nor a " f... G ... " LOL Stay in your lane you say? LOL Thanks people. It was only my observation. I expected some race wars in the South but was pleasantly surprised by the people there. They seemed genuine and peacefull.Shadow Yes I was in Chicago also, and experienced the same. The inner city was very white dominated, and the minority groups seemed to travel for hours by train in and out of work everyday. Lovely place though

Is Yahoo Questions a place where I can ask sincere questions about race relations?
Hmm. I'll admit not all of my answers have been good.But this question is for real Shouldn't we just admit to one another that black and white people weren't meant to live together? How's that a violation? Or does that just hit too close to home? Or does that cause you some cognitive dissonance in that you think maybe I'm right but too scared to admit it to yourself? Mark. I never asked a question like why are all black people horrible. Idiot. Why don't you take your head out of your ass?

If Amercans stop using the terms "white" and "black" would it be better for race relations in the US?
We share the same nationality, If we identified ourselves by our ethnicities there would be no generalizations based on stereotypes of those terms. There is alot wrong words that have been created to separate. Ethnicities donate heritage , white and blacks says not nothing .just propaganda to uphold sterotypes. Stop being pc?
