I really dont understand why people would want to change their nationality. I lived next to this girl from Ethiopia and she tried so hard to be americanized and lose site of her culture etc, because she didnt want to be ethiopian. I love being an all american white girl. I love who I am and where I came from. To me its weird to wish you were something that you're not... and go to extreme lengths to change it (ie Michael jackson)
i know many people dont understand this feeling..but there is a reason you dont...sure we should all be happy with who we are and where we are from...its not like we had any control over it anyway...but look..it is a bit niave to think we are all born onto an even playing field..we are not..what would you be doing right now if you were born in Iraq...or Afghanistan...or Darfur for that matter..sure im happy to be an American..that cause i live in America and can only blame my failures on myself not the lack of opportunity...all im saying is sometimes the grass is actually greener on the otherside..they have a water hose to water it...

Good for you! I in the other hand live in two worlds; the american and puerto rican cuture, which I learn to appreciate very much! One minute Im American the next Im not! cool!! I love being an American that is for sure!! Dont want it any other way!
i guess it would be like me saying..nobody picks on overweihgt people..its easy to be overweight...well im not i barely weigh a buck 60..so how would i know...ive never walked a day in their shoes...
its like Paris Hilton...everyone puts her down..but if you were born into the family she was born into with all of their wealth..you might have some character flaws too...oh yeah you already do dont you....
i just think the world would be much better if we all tried to understand each other before we judge each other...
I had a friend once that told me he met a very prejudice white man who had no problem telling him how much he disliked black people...he had never really known anyone closely that wasnt white..it was ignorance...the lack of personal knowledge and experience...this guy put down black people all the time..my friends wife invited the prejudice guys wife to church..she went and loved it..her husband said he would never be seen with those n(word)..after some time..the black guy won the white guy over and they became best friends..in fact when he was baptized he said only his new "black" brother could baptize him...Later the black guy was diagnosed with cancer and was in tremendous pain..guess who sat by his bed side..my point is we have to understand other peoples struggles...some nationalities are actually looked down upon and given less opportunities..sure that not an excuse for failure..but just know everyone isnt starting at the same starting line..

I can tell you what happened with Michael Jackson. He does not love himself poor thing... I dont judge him, but I wish he would turn to faith and prayer more to heal him of his self destructive behaviour..
I have only been on here a few day's, and Man !... you ask some of the most unusual questions I have ever heard, you either have no life experience, or, are just a very inquisitive person . No offense.
