[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not believe that on average white women bottle up their emotions. People express emotions differently. [/quote]

If people express emotions differently, why can't some people accept that others don't choose to walk around smiling at everyone they pass, and that it's not a reflection of their happiness?

I'm a smiley person, by the way, but I don't find fault with others for not smiling at me as we pass on the street. [/quote]

I don't necessarily agree with those who say that everyone should smile all the time but one question is how you express your emotions, probably to friends and family, and the other question is what is considered appropriate and professional in the workplace, say, where I do think many people, not just white people, believe it is impolite to walk around grouchy all the time.

NP to this particular discussion. I find that many people assume you are grouchy if you aren't smiling. I'm black and when I'm concentrating or thinking about something, I can sometimes look intense. It doesn't mean I'm mad and/or grouchy. I've found that many people like to assign the "angry" tagline without any real merit. [/quote]
