Cultural norms has influence on our behaviors and attitudes, however idiosyncrasies can be used to create biases and breed ignorance without having a complete understanding of a given culture. I am Latina (Brazilian and Hispanic)and women in our culture are known to be subservient or more submissive, but what does this mean?

"Hmmm....are you sure that racial context plays no role in a person's behavior? I am black, but I think it does - there are idiosyncrasies critically peculiar to every given culture - something they are noted for.......you disagree"

There are other factors other than "racial context" that play a role in negative behaviors within all cultures among all people.

she is a fool to open her mouth

I don't mean to ignite a race war here at all, but just to initiate intense discussion.
One of my Professors believe that Black girls are better home wreckers than White girls. She is a black woman. She thought Latina women are subservient or more submissive. But again she warned me: Hey Sam, before you gallop down the alley to that White girl's door, be sure you already bought you a burial spot at the nearest cemetry because ever since O.J., they've decided to kill you first and weep at your grave later. OMG!
And I was like, Prof., so who do I hook up with after this scare session. She goes: go with the moment. Now I'm in a dilemma-it's called Sam's limbo.
What do you all think?

Not quite Oceanbluze, this is a great discussion, a fool is a person who lacks judgment and sense, and I am neither nor by participating am I projecting that image.

We are here to discuss all topics of interest, no given answer is foolish and to be quite honest, it is through knowledge that we are given power to understand reason and logic.
