My little boy was orange/yellow between 4-7 months. The doctors didn't have a clue what was up with him. He was otherwise healthy though so they wern't worried.
His mother is half Spanish I don't know if that made a differenceComment

He had a yellow/orange tint to his skin and then it just stopped.Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

I was fearing the worst for a second.
In any case, better get a genetic check up for gilbert's. it COULD be that. ( in any case, nothing bad about it. )Comment

I was also yellow, but that's because I had high fever for few days after I was born. I guess that explains the obvious brain damage

Yellowy colour sounds like jaundice, perhaps the liver just wasn't quite functioning right but it sounds like it has sorted itself out. Probably not significant.Speaking of Erith:

His liver was fine the quacks checked for that.

Can I be forced to mate with an Asian or Pacific Islander instead? Also, because we're all members of 'Poly wouldn't it be included in your plan that we get first pick?That's why I propose a radical new idea.
Forced breeding. Yep, you heard me right. Whites should be forced to mate with blacks. Mexicans should be forced to mate with Chinese. American indians should be forced to mate with Indians.
you get the drift. This will eliminate racism.Comment

Aren't Mexicans largely of Amerind stock and therefore technically orientals?
You'd be amazed at how many of my patients are racially mixed. I'd guess nearly one-fifth of my black patients either marry outside their race, are products of inter-racial couplings, or have mixed race family members."I say shoot'em all and let God sort it out in the end!Comment

True, but that doesn't mean there are no common traits. Stereotypes wouldn't exist if there wasn't some truth in them.Originally posted by MichaeltheGreat
There are Mexicans (and a lot of them) with every sort of ethnic influence, from Yanqui to all over Europe to African, middle eastern (Salma Hayek for one), Asian, etc. Even the near-purely indigenous people range from fair skin, light haired northern desert Indians to very dark tropical Indians. I see native Mexicans who are more "whitey" than I am.
Any racial or ethnic lines are just a generalization.
They told your afterwards how bad it was?Hanging's a nasty way to go. I've known a couple of people who did it.
It's not biologically meaningless at all, but the reason you believe this - and want others to - is because you think believing this is the only way humans can accept each other's differences - by believing we are all the same.The ideal is to drop the entire inaccurate, biologically meaningless antiquated social construct of separate races entirely.
I want the same thing as you - for everyone to recognise that we are all brothers and sisters - but I don't think denying the reality of group differences is the best way to go about it....people like to cry a lot... - Pekka

Of course a blanket statement will always be wrong, but if nobody experienced a common attribute of any particular group there would be no stereotypes. For example the stereotype of the arrogant American. If it hadn't been the common experience of a lot of people who met Americans, the stereotype would never have emerged. This is not to say that most Americans are arrogant, but that there must have been enough of them who are in order for the stereotype to have been created.Originally posted by Kropotkin

Or they just happen to see the traits they want to see.
