A dialogue on Race- As a non-white, what is a question you've always wanted to ask a white person?

Question

I know there are some things I've wondered about. But sometimes it's difficult to ask a question you think may offend a person.

Answer 1

You can ask me anything...I'm orange...I'll give you the Orange perspective.

Answer 2

Does White mean pure, and is their such a thing as pure Melanoma?

Answer 3

like what?  we are not that different, seriously like what?  idk, there is nothing i don't know about black, indian, chinese etc.. that i wouldn't ask.

hmm thats funny, never been told that before, but its particulary amusing because black peoples hair smells funny to me, i know why though its that pink grease, i can remember it from grammar school on the bus seats

and all the stuff from your other ? i already knew, because i've asked.  obviously you can't just walk up to anyone and ask stuff like that, but i know enough black girls to know that they do burn, and i know about that pink hair grease, this balck woman across from my friend used to put it in my friends hair cuz it was so unruly, i swear she's puerto rican with that hair, but the grease works for her too, see not that different, and i too feel weird in an all black setting, and i think the ternm that i have been called by blacks that seemed the most hateful was simply " little white girl" as if i am just some helpless weakling, that actually really pisses me off, we may not be "strong black women"  but hello, we did head the sufferage movement!!

Answer 4

I am 53 years old, and no one has ever told me that my hair smells like a wet dog.  *sm*

Answer 5

I have to say that I have never heard that white people's hair smells when it is wet.  That is interesting.  Is that a common perception?

See, this is the way to open up dialog.

Answer 6

The hair thing is very interesting, I never thought about that. If there's anything else people wanna ask I'm totally open to it, this question was a really good idea and so was your other one.
