today, I was eating my capn' Crunch this morning catching tha saturday morning Cartoons! -Hooray!-

Anyways, I noticed that most cartoonjs focus on a white main character and wondered why is this? I mean this is America and teh governzment sez tat we are all equal and so why don't we have any Asian or African or any other main character?

Oh yeah, back to the topic... what is your race? I was just wondering. Because maybe we are all just whiteboys *And 2 and a half women* trying to fit into a black society....

it's true.

i grew up in a white school. we had like maybe 3 black kids from K-12. it's not so much that were racist, it's just that it was a school in the countryside. Now, I go a black university and there's still white kids there. anyways, without being rascist the different races segregate naturally to feel more comfortable. whites sit up front and black people sit in the back. it's weird had it works after we are all free and it being in the 21st century.

Even in a lot of northern states, if you go to a fast food restaurant, you will see 5 black people for every white person working there.

Guess who the manager is?

Where I lived it was 98% white (according to the 2000 census). Basically raised my whole life in a predominantly rich white area.

Moved to Texas and now I'm the minority, and it does feel different...

I just got back from Steak N Shake. There where a ton of Asian guys in there. The parking lot looked like a seen from the Fast and Furious. I have never seen so many Subaru WRX's and Scion tC's together in my life.


Also, I am Irish.

Racist undertones?

EDIT: Insinuating the manager is the white person given nothing else is actually straight up racism.
GG.

I don't see the problem there.

Are you making the point that there still isin't a lot of racism prevalent in american society especially in social classes?

or are you just arguing semantics for my particular example.
