[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm Nigerian American. I came to the United States as a young child and have lived here most of my life.

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.[/quote]

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.[/quote]
