The Immigrants / Minorities Thread !

[Dark Lord Zenigame]

Heh, that totally is.

Shame that the sound quality isn't better. :/

[Arei]

The Thread includes "Minorities", LGBT is counted as a Minority.

Geez, give me a break...

I think it meant RACIAL minority.

I always thought LGBT was a lifestyle then it's own "race" :/



Other then that reply I probably have nothing to contribute to this thread. Stereotypical white-american heritage here, nothing of interest XD

[MagneticMonkey]

Half african half european here.
In africa black people look at me as a white guy whereas in europe... Haha!
Kind of odd to be somewhere between the 2 worlds :)

It's not a lifestyle is one is born that way XP

Not a "Race" either, but yeah.

[KingofSarus]

So... gay people are minorities?

[Demon Rin]

So... gay people are minorities?

The US Government considers LGBT A Minority, like we're counted as one when we vote, etc.

According to all the news outlet Election coverage at least.

[KingofSarus]

Oh wow... didn't know that. That's kinda weird, but okay...

[MagneticMonkey]

The problem of immigration is integration. Some just enter germany and live in their own culture bubble having little to no knowledge of german and being unemployed without any really "interesting" qualification.
I agree with woflwood. Talking about it is like asking to get stoned.

Go chill with Arabs and you might fit in.

[Demon Rin]

Yeah, but the thread starter apparently didn't mean to include LGBT, (even though the Thread starter has yet to comment...) so I should back out of the conversation right about now

lol.
In Benin for example the arabs (especially lebanese people) are ruling the supermarket industry. I did have little interaction with them. What amazed me is how tied the community is there. They somehow created their own bubble where they are strongly tied together. Though they have no problems interacting with black people. Anyways if one arab has a problem there many arabs will help him :)

That tends to be how immigrant communities work.
I can still see that in my Dad's half of the family. Least ways compared to my Mom's, which has been here for possibly longer then the US.

One thing sure immigrants will always be one the major scapegoat of a bad economy.

[Strohhut-Ruffy]

I'm an EU-immigrant.

[RobbyBevard]

I'm english with a dash of american. Possibly some French in there somewhere. But mostly English.

I really have no right to be in this thread.

[Sea]

She'll need it if she's ever to surmount the incredible muscle strength of frail elderly fictional characters!

To surmount it, all she need is an afro.
Eh.
Now that is on-topic.
Having an afro makes me a minority.

[Mugiwara_no_Ice]

Well I meant Minority as in every kind of group that does not fit in the majority's picture of things, so LGBTs are included, I suppose! (The idea was to include african-americans, cause maybe they do not see themselves as immigrants)

I am a 2nd generation Moroccan immigrant. My grandparents came here in the late 60s to work in the coalmines. The plan was just to work some years and go back, but after a while they brought their families and they're still here.

The dream is to one day go back to the homecountry with the whole family, but I sure couldn't live in Morocco right now.
And that's the story of 90% of the maghrebians in western europe.

[amanitium]

so, Demon Rin, do you let other people watch you in action?

I can't help but feel this is a quote from Obama.

Joking aside though I'm English; though I guess if I traced my bloodlines I'd probably find myself in Europe.

Then again I remember an article on the origins of humanity in the National Geographic that said something along the lines of 'the oldest human fossils being found in Africa'.

(I'd take this with a pinch of salt until I find the article I'm referring to)

[TakinawaTonfa]

You probably couldn't tell by looking at me but I'm actually half-Cuban. On that same bloodline I also happen to be 1/16th black.
