I beat myself up a lot while waving the white flag to my conqueror. It's terrible.

are all the designers in Japan white? hmm that sounds odd

i think that the dynamics that inform the Black community in the US have a bit to do with the type of jobs most of us pursue.
and relax, i'm NOT speaking of Racism.
but since jobs were hard to come by for Blacks, getting a SENSIBLE/DEPENDABLE job and keeping that motha' 'til you died was the ultimate goal.
since most would-be rap artists and NBA stars will eventually go to work for UPS, it's still the prevailing wisdom.
"Sensible and Artist" don't often make it into the same sentence 'round these parts. but we're workin on that.

second only to Gary Oldman's "you must've thought it was white boy day..." line.

all I know is when I tell people that I'm a designer, they look at me kind of crazy and I usually get a generic form or "oh, really?... I wouldn't have guessed that you were a designer"
What the fuck?! I'm supposed to "look" like a designer to be one... WTF does a designer look like?
white?

Can someone decide what sort of "whit" we're talking about? Because I was thinking of the colour of skin, not citizenship. Religion of parents factors in too.
- ItTango0
hmmm. don't know.
the US has a very generic def. of white. pretty much color of skin. some of my Jewish pals refer to themselves as white and some look at you like you're crazy if you describe as white.some blacks love it it they can pass for white and some whites spend most of their lives trying to get darker.
i, on the other hand, love it when i can pass for "employed" when i apply for a loan.
