I saw that when I worked at the schools too, where I am there is a large
poplulation of Hispanics, and always at lunch time all the ethnic groups
pretty much self-segregated into their own groups while eating.

Okay, it might not be famine, or civil war, or religious fanatics taking over your town, or some horrible killer epidemic, or lack of clean drinking water, or having a crazed lunatic running the country, or lack of electricity, or any number of things. The important part to remember is that for some people, these problems are non-trivial. Tomatoes can be an important part of a nutritious, healthy, and well-balanced, diet. I don't eat tomatoes so that's not me but squirrels with haunted eyes would certainly be a big problem - if I was on the mainland.

When we lived outside of Seattle, we used to feed those little guys. Squirrels amuse Hawaii folks to no end because in Hawaii, we don't have any. It would come into our house and eat nuts for our entertainment. We loved that little critter. A squirrel with scary eyes would just ruin our day! I suppose that would mean it had rabies or some other awful disease.

Some people are wanting to go back to that here. I had asked about a new
store. India Supermarket. It's very near here and I hoped they'd have
produce as that would be super handy. Turns out that they did. Very fresh
and nice but obviously tailored to what Indian people might want. But...
When I asked about it, someone actually told me that I shouldn't go there
because I'm white. Because of this comment, I felt a bit fearful to go in. I
actually was the only white person in there and much of what they sold was
not things I was familiar with but I did buy a few things and everyone was
really nice to me.

I just think it's weird. I grew up in segregated Wichita and moved here
where everyone was living seemingly peacefully, but now people are wanting
to segregate. It's not the white people doing this either. We're being told
to stay out of places and not even enter into social media conversations
because we don't understand.

Huh? What brought on that? It's also wrong. I don't know of a
neighborhood that isn't mixed racially here. There may be some areas
with McMansions but they probably are just a higher percentage of old
money folks and I'd hazard a guess they are mixed as well, just a
percentage difference.

The fact is, no one really cares anymore.

Ok, maybe I misread you? That sort of segregation is breaking down
fast now. I can tell you that the little party here 6 August is
totally mixed. We have 3 things in common. We are friends, we live in
walking distance, and we are foodies who cook. THe rest is more about
me having a bigger house with 2 big TV's, 2 small ones and wifi (so we
can spread out the kids from the adults and so on).

LOL, I was told I have to make Lumpia as Sara's MIL just got to the
states from the Philippenes (still studying English but Sara's husband
will translate) and Aya can teach me to make a neater wrap (mine taste
fine but I haven't quite the hang of a pretty wrapper).

That may be the case where you are, but here, the segregation is starting.
It wasn't that way when me moved here except perhaps for specific areas such
as the International district in Seattle. But out here in the suburbs, some
people who are not white are wanting to stick with their own and are making
it clear that we white people don't matter.

Whoever made that comment is a xenophobic moron.

The only way different cultures will come to know each other is if we
engage each other.

Don't be so quick to judge someone based on something reported by a
pathological liar. She may still be traumatized by the man in the turban
who chased her with his broom.

I live in an area that is almost exclusively white, but there are
various ethnic stores in nearby cities and I often go to them. The
people who run them tend to be very friendly and helpful.

Being friendly and helpful is a good strategy, retail-wise.

You would think so, and yet some people in this community are calling people
like me (who do not sort people out by skin color) to be a racist. We were
told that only white people are racists and we'll never see the problem
because we have white privilege. Mind you, these are young people saying
this. They didn't live through segregation like I did. They don't get it but
they are still trying to school me.

Have you considered playing in traffic, Dave? I don't know who that guy was
but he is long gone. I saw him twice at that Walmart. He was an elderly man.

Same here. Wasn't the store people trying to keep me out. Just some random
person that I don't know, on FB.

A lot of white folks believe that racism is just a wildly exaggerated defensive stance taken by colored folks. My wife is a haole but she certainly knows what it's all about. She was raised by a Korean stepmom and had to defend her mom from the rest of the family. It breaks my heart to think of my wife and her siblings having to fight and stand up to cracker relatives/strangers when they snubbed/bad mouthed her mom. No kid should have to go through that.

I know it still exists but I get angry when people accuse me of being a
racist and not knowing it. The reason? I spoke to them. Since I am not
whatever their race is, they said I should not have said a thing. The
problem? This was a FB post. I couldn't tell what race they were based on
their name or pic, not that either thing mattered to me. They said I should
just speak to other white people. But my friends are not all white and even
some who are, are or were married to people of other races or have adopted
children of other races. I'm sure these whiners would complain about this
too.

I will not put labels on any of the posters here. All I know is what I saw while I was living on the mainland. After over 150 years the US has still not come to grips with the end of the American Civil War AKA, The War for State's Rights.

What then, is the proper term to refer to non-whites? Seems it changes
every couple of years.

There is none. That's the catch. And "whites" all origin from Africa (a
longer time ago any creationist would dare to admit) and had to adapt to get
enough Vitamin D - by getting paler.
And those who blame others not using the right term don't know one, either.
"The pot calling the kettle black" - is that even politically correct
nowadays? ;-)

Bye, Sanne.

Acceptable names keep changing. It is like lots of other terms for
various conditions. Terms often end up becoming a pejorative with the
same connotations as the terms they replaced. In the early 1900s doctors
used the words idiot, simpleton and moron to denote levels of mentla
ability. They were perfectly acceptable because they were medical terms.
When people started using them as pejoratives the terms change. Mentally
retarded was a term used in medicine and psychology for people with low
intelligence. That term is no longer acceptable. The word "challenged"
has been attached to a number of issues, and it quickly became a
pejorative.

In this area, the politically correct term these days is person of color or
people of color. Could mean anything. Just not white.

Right, colored people. Amazing how touchy people get over things like
that when they have the same meaning. .

You're all a bunch of racist bigots... "colored" was the PC term
from the days of slavery, otherwise the N word was most common. But
for many years now the correct nomenclature has been African American
(or Black), or Asian American. or Native American, etal. The last one
to get away with "yoose coloreds" was Archie Bunker.

On this rock in the middle of the Pacific, we've given up trying to be
politically correct on the matter of race. We've accepted the fact that
we're all different and have learned to appreciate that reality. It is the
differences between the people on this rock that has enriched the Hawaiian
culture.

I have never heard that one, and I doubt that it true. I have read that
some of these genetic testing business are extremely unreliable. A
recent article in Canadian History Magazine showed the results of their
tests for one individual and the results were vastly different. Maybe
one was more accurate than the other. Perhaps they were both inaccurate.

Yep.. So they omit it entirely and blame it on out and out racism.
Heaven forbid the guy should admit that if their was a stereotype about
his people he just helped to reinforce it.
