Race Rant? You decide :)

>>158220 Agreed. Case in point- back when I was still in college, one of the class that I enjoyed the most was in Asian-American Studies (as a graduation requirement from the Univ of Calif system.) The professor was from Taiwan. Anyway, he started the first lecture by picking ten students randomly from the lecture-hall full of students. He then asked them to come onto the stage and asked the rest of us to try to identify their ethnicity. Maybe I sucked, even after I spent four years at a SF Bay Area high school (not in SF), I didn't even get half right, but that was the point! You cannot tell people from looking at them.
>>158321 For being the World's Policeman, the US education system fails for not teaching enough about others. We get involved with too many cultures with too much power, money, and weapons at stake without enough sensitivity, and worse of all, we failed to learn from history or even by retrospective- how the European/Caucasian cultures affect others, and how they in tern may perceive of European/Caucasian cultures AFTER (negative/bad?) things happened.
But hey, we only have 12 grades. I didn't get US history completely at the end of my HS career. I read to the end of my US History book myself. But what about others? Guess what, they are going to be voters, or even soldiers sent to distant lands with no idea why they were sent there in the first place other than what their CO tells them!
