Which person? Some guy you know from work? The situation with the aboriginals seems to be that very many of them behave differently from the majority of the immigrants. So many, in fact, that it shows up in statistics. Sounds to me like a mostly cultural difference, not a personal one. And with the African-Americans it most certainly has to do with color. They're black. They're not going to get any less black just because you don't use the word "■■■■■■". And everything has to do with social standing. If you work in a sweatshop 21 hours a day, from the age of four, ad mortem, you are different from someone who can afford the sweatshopped clothes, and very different from someone who has the majority of stocks in the company whose logo appears on the clothes. Not all are given equal choises. And among those who are, trends often follow race, color and social standing. [/QUOTE]Color has nothing to do with it. Lazy and useless is lazy and useless no matter what color they are. The minority card is a complete excuse to give up. You get out of life what you put into it. So, if all you put into your life is bottles of liquor all you are going to get out of life is piss. People always have excuses why they can't do something instead of just trying to do it.
