I don't live in the US but I often get the impression that even those African-Americans who go to college and use proper English are mocked or accused of "selling out". According to that logic, a black gang member is a proud African-American while a well-educated black person is nothing but a traitor. I think there are big efforts within the black community to counter this attitude. This is not a race thing but the result of the longstanding economic isolation of African-Americans. The economic status and the culture it creates shapes everyone's attitudes and values. Even low-income class whites are prone to accusing someone from their ranks of "forgetting their roots" if they climb up the social ladder by receiving college education.

Asians sometimes talk of "bananas." too. Somehow it seems like a bit like sour grapes even if the reality is that few seem to have the talent and luck to escape their original culture. |

I grew up in a largely working class area of Britain. Yet some seem to get upset if you were striving to achieve good grades at school. |

This one is real shit
Yarra City Council .... That's Inner Melbourne, A lot of rich cafe leftists live there, Last night passed a motion that they will no longer be celebrating Australia Day. Australia Day is January 26th, the date where in 1788 the first fleet of English arrived at what is now Sydney. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/vic...05da04c40899d2 That is about as PC as you could get

I doubt the original Australians have ever celebrated that date.

What the Brits did was disgusting, same goes for what happened to the American Indians .... It really annoys me when people just won't accept , I accept aboriginal culture, always have, and don't think that's a joke either or just empty words. Seriously, I hate it when I see any race discriminated against, also keep in mind I have no Anglo or Irish blood. But there is no way we can change history, only learn form it. It's when people don't want to let go of the past and just won't look forward instead that things will never change for the better. I've no problem at all with Aborigines not wanting to celebrate Australia Day, none at all, it's their right. This is the bit that counts to me .... anyone who is not of an Aboriginal blood line and hold up Banners like "You're On Stolen Land" well, then go back to wherever you're ancestors came form, and those who take a paid public holiday on January 26th, well they might as well go to work instead. I welcome both cultures celebrating what suits their needs, but that Yarra City Council, get this .... full of the Rich Cafe Leftists ...... the activist kind who would cry in their cafe latte if you hid their ipad and, well, I'd be willing to bet heavily never even been to an Aboriginal Community in far North Queensland, remote parts of Western Australia etc ..... there's, err, no Alfresco dining there, wouldn't suit lifestyle.
