I don't believe that there is any one "way" that black people or any other group of people act. I respond to people on an individual basis and not as a member of some ethnic group. This concept seems foreign to you.

>If you want to see how black folks act, take a trip into a black neighborhood.< A black neighborhood where? In Cleveland? In New York? In New Orleans? In Los Angeles? In Seattle? In Nome? Or perhaps in Salt Lake City. Blacks vary as much from one community to another and even within a given community as whites do. >If you want to see how Hispanic people act, go to the park on Sunday.< Strange, the one Hispanic woman I dated never went to the park with me. We did things like camping, snow skiing, going to the Hollywood Tropicana to see the female mud and oil wrestlers. And of course, her Hispanic boyfriend would fix me a nice meal when we would get home, if he was waiting for her. And, of course, she fixed me a great Thanks Giving dinner when the black woman I was living with at the time went to have Thanks Giving dinner with her family. >If you want to see how gays act, go to a gay bar in San Francisco.< Hmmm, the gays that I have met ranged from a loner who preferred young boys and got of on being beat up, to a male prostitute who spent most of his money on other male prostitutes, to a man who was well liked by everybody I knew who also knew him, partially because he never made an issue of his sexuality. I can't say that I have met any two gays that resembled each other any more so than I resemble any other heterosexual.

Quite a few years back I went to a gay bar in S.F. with two women, one my girlfriend. They had lots of gay friends there but when we tried to get in the bar they were kept out because they had "open toed" shoes on. I was welcome. We left, laughing at this discrimination, but then we were all very tolerant people.
