Answer 1

Race is an illusion.  Those are called stereotypes.  There is no group of people which every member of the group is exactly the same; because every individual has experiences that are different from those of others.  Sounds like you need some education on stereotyping.

Answer 2

No!

Answer 3

All asians are smart, you forgot that one.

I have a list of stereotypes, a really good one too

Answer 4

umm no duh

desis=think ther the besttt and def aree :P

Answer 5

not true

Answer 6

In all the races ,what is common is more than what is different. All the souls are coming with common attitude.All over the world people have common values for best and worst.The  level in acceptance and expressions will differ.

Answer 7

No one is same. Every race is different, every person is different. We are all inimitable.

Answer 8

NO

Answer 9

Yes, just as all horses ,cats, and dogs are the same.

Answer 10

yes.... all mexicans are just like each other. all blacks are just like eachother. there is almost no difference between chinese people at all...

all indians (red dot) work convenient stores. ALL OF THEM.

the world is much simpler this way.

Answer 11

No, not at all.  They may be similar because they are subject to the same stereotype and have some of the same history, but they're not the same.

Besides, race has absolutely nothing to do with one's abilities.  Race is what color your skin is.  The color of your skin is determined by where your ancestors lived.

Ex.- People of African decent have dark skin because their ancestors were always out in the sun, so their skin darkened so the sun wouldn't affect/hurt them so much.

I'm about 90% Scandinavian, so obviously my skin is light.  My ancestors' skin was never exposed to the sun much because it was cold, so they were usually wearing clothing to keep them warm.  Their skin never darkened because it didn't need to protect itself from the sun.  

I love one of the lines of the song All The Same by Sick Puppies.  It goes "Black or white, if I close my eyes, it's all the same".  People with different colored skin are persecuted against because of just that.  Their skin has nothing to do with their abilities or skills.  It's just a sign of their heritage, which everyone should be proud of.

I kinda got off subject, but you gave me a chance and I just had to get this out.

Answer 12

Of course not.  Saying that all people of a certain race, religion, culture, s*x etc are the same is akin to saying that all Scorpios, Capricorns or Aquarians are the same: it's completely idiotic, and it fails to take into account the vast complexities of humans, and that identity is generally more diverse than simply one's membership of a certain group.

Answer 13

I'd have to say yes.  In general, all humans are pretty much alike.  There are minor differences in most cases and major differences in a few, but most people want the same things, food, shelter and safety for their families.

Answer 14

no i totally think thats wrong and messed up ive also heard ppl say all african american ppl are mean and scary.i completely disagree.
