One Thing I'll Miss About America

One day, I'd hope to return to my country and do what I can to contribute to its growth.

Yet, as a weird as this will sound--I will miss one thing about the United States: white people. Although white people do occasionally frustrate me, there are many things about them that I secretly admire. And they fascinate me. But, I'd never openly admit any of this to them.


Yes, I realize that there are white people in Nigeria, but very few. I guess I'll have to enjoy it--their company--now when I still can.

I believe I get your point, but it's not really about "white people" per se. For example, Argentina is full of white people yet its mainstream culture of survival at all costs, with little regard for the common good or for rules, probably resembles Nigeria more than the US. What you will miss is a more predictable, civic-minded, system, the result of, yes, many white people, but also blacks, Latinos, and all kinds of immigrants in the melting pot.

Here are some things that I adore about white people:

1. Their adventurous and enterprising nature--white people love to explore the world (hiking, fishing, Mars explorations, hunting, sailing, etc). They don't wait for other people to help them or expect others to solve their problems. I really wish that my race would take a cue. For example, see this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCmTJkZy0rM

Earlier this year, I read about Daniel Boone and Lewis/Clark and was amazed. It's incredible how they forged this great nation out from wilderness.

2. Their discretion--they're very good at controlling their emotions, relaying information discretely, putting on a happy face, passive aggression, maintaining confidentiality. Btw, passive aggression is not necessarily a bad thing

3. Their eyes--they look like gemstones (sapphires & emeralds). I also like some their hair--the variations in color and texture is interesting

4. Their achievements--as much as I hate to say this, the world today would be as modernized had it not been for YT. Of course, they had a tremendous amount of help from black people (see Lewis Latimer thread & slavery/capitalism thread). But still, YT is often the one to get things going

5. Their intellectualism--Western civilization has produced a vast, vast body of great literature, philosophy, etc. I especially love such Western intellectuals as John Milton, Aristotle, George Orwell, Michael Faraday, etc. Of course, other groups/culture have also produced great works, but there is simply no comparison

Instead of demonizing YT or diminishing their achievements, I wish that other groups of people would take notes. Clearly, there are good things about white American/European culture. Otherwise, why do other groups of people keep trying to immigrate to predominately white nations?

There are other things that I admire about them. And there are things that I very much dislike. Maybe I'll save that for another thread.


Of course, I realize that what I've said was not politically correct, but it how I truly feel

Well, OP, your people could have been like the whites you so admire. If they had been cursed with a lack of resources and without morales to rape, steal and pillage from others, they could have easily been the world leaders, having secured others' resources for their own pleasure and advancement. You are just stupid OP. Sorry, you are.

OP, I have to giggle, either you are a troll, or dumb.
Hey, go out to a Native American reservation and tell them what you're telling us.

Agree. OP, I'm white originally from DC and I lived in Scandinavia for a while. Being in such a homogenous culture was weird. I missed all the different colors of people. Not seeing many black people was strange.

OP you are confusing admiration with obsession.
