Women

So I don't get this whole idea of women being put into categories based off of race/ethnicity.

This false notion that all Spanish women are submissive and docile creatures, who cook and clean to please their men, and have the newspaper waiting at the dinner table and ESPN on the TV. While on the other hand you have Black women who are these teeth sucking, neck rolling, “we don’t play that” women who will cut a man for speaking out of character at any given moment. While for some Spanish and Black women this may be true, it is unfair to have such a blanket statement made about an entire group.

It’s very bias for women of the groups but also for those outside of the groups, like as if to say that White women can't be hardcore and live by a no nonsense approach or that Asian women aren't appeasing to men. It is so wrong to have these generalized ideas and that so many people believe them.

But I guess just as ideas concerning race/ethnicity can be boxed in and labeled, so can idea about gender.

Pride and Prejudice

Why do we refer to eachother a colors?
Were we raised that way, did our parents refer to others the same way?
 And how will we teach our children, is this right or wrong?
I sat on the infamous NYC subway the other day and watched two Latinas talk, proudly they spoke bits of spanish but mainly english which lead me to believe they were a later generation. They were young, couldn't have been no more than 23yrs old. They talked about men or are they still called boys @ that age?..anyhow there was one thing in particular that made me think about this color war.
When referring to their black friend they said he's cute for a moreno ( translation he's cute for a black
guy).Now I by no means want to single these latinas out but what did they mean for a black guy. The term moreno is a whole different topic, but since when did black suddenly become the ugly yet again.
I know we refer to other races as colors i.e. White ppl, but this was very interesting to hear on so many levels.
