ODUMCHI, i understand you-- but "African American" has more than one definition. here are some of the ways I've seen people use the term "African American" : 1) An African person who is an American citizen 2) An American citizen who is of African ancestry i remember telling my teacher that i am from nigeria. My teacher is a "black american." she said, "you're from nigeria? that means you are a real African American because you are an African living in America." so, the term has several meanings i do feel the term "black" is strange. I don't even use the word "white". I prefer to say "European American". |

Read the BBC article here: India's Unwanted Girls http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-13264301 very sad excerpt: Kulwant has three daughters aged 24, 23 and 20 and a son who is 16. In the years between the birth of her third daughter and her son, Kulwant became pregnant three times. Each time, she says, she was forced to abort the foetus by her family after ultrasound tests confirmed that they were girls. "My mother-in-law taunted me for giving birth to girls. She said her son would divorce me if I didn't bear a son." Kulwant still has vivid memories of the first abortion. "The baby was nearly five months old. She was beautiful. I miss her, and the others we killed," she says, breaking down, wiping away her tears. Until her son was born, Kulwant's daily life consisted of beatings and abuse from her husband, mother-in-law and brother-in-law. Once, she says, they even attempted to set her on fire. "They were angry. They didn't want girls in the family. They wanted boys so they could get fat dowries," she says. India outlawed dowries in 1961, but the practice remains rampant and the value of dowries is constantly growing, affecting rich and poor alike. Kulwant's husband died three years after the birth of their son. "It was the curse of the daughters we killed. That's why he died so young," she says. |

[size=15pt]sorry, but indian culture has little respect for women[/size] (with the exception of the few indian matrilineal tribes) [size=13pt]yes, the bride pays the grooms family. which is why indian families prefer to have sons. that's been a cultural tradition for thousands of years, as indian culture is quite ancient i read an article in the bbc a few weeks ago about indian wives who are forced to kill their baby girls--truly pathetic oftentimes, a family with daughters will go bankrupt just trying to pay for their daughters to get married! my mom is a nurse at a large hospital in atlanta. the indian families are always rude. She said one Indian guy actually spit on one of the black nurses! and the indian doctors always talk down to her and the other african nurses.[/size] [size=15pt]80% of every indian man i have ever met was DOWNRIGHT RUDE, including the ones who work at the gas/petrol stations [/size] (because here in atlanta, indians own a lot of gas stations |
