why do hurricanes have caucasian names and some latin names, but no names in other languages?
Q. example:El Nino or El Nina meaning boy/girl or other latin names.is that because spanish is becoming very well-known and accepted as the 2nd common language? is that discrimination against other languages, such as asian languages,etc or should meterologists/weather naming people alternate between different language names/terms and spice it up since the U.S. is very diverse (ex:Category 5 Hurricane = (italian)Mamma Mia! or (french)Le Danger!) or (chinese)Dai-lo*Big Boss*? or should they just all be in english since that is the universal language in the united states? what are your opinions? thanks.

A. Hurricanes have been the greatest threat for shipping since humanbeing started cruising,and as you know the Spanish and Portugul sailors were the frontiers and pioneers of navigation, additionally after them the English sailors achived this title, hence it is not amazing that the majotiy of hurricanes have latin or caucasian name becous they were named by the people who used above cited languages to name any new thing.

A. You're right, Caucasian does not always equal what we in the US would call white. Technically, Arabs, Afghans, Persians, and people in nothern India, as well as Europeans are all caucasians. They are all related to Indo-European and Aryan tribes who settled in Europe, the middle east and India. Sometime in history someone started calling lighter skinned caucasians especially ones in Europe "white" and the name just kind of stuck. Yes there is an area in southern Russia called Caucasia and has the Caucus mountians. These people are refered to as "Caucasians" because they are from literally Caucasia.

What is the new Swedish word for a person who has opposite color that a Caucasian has?
Q. The word does not start with a consonant,I guess. The word is soon going to be accepted I think, because people who has been born in Sweden as the second or third generation. don't like be related to a continent the never have visited or are going visit at all. I don't know the word, but I think that it is adopted from the states, because Swedes are not known to create new words, but it can also be a word created from their original language or just word so people can continue to discuss contoversial subjects without hurt anyones feelings.

A. I do. Language is a big part of a person's culture because it contains ideas that are specific to that culture. (Alexander Key) It's hard not to laugh at the hippies/new agers who try to steal/borrow/siphon a living off of Native American culture--among others--but in some respects, I think it is because they themselves are lost because they don't have a real culture. The reason for that is, this is not their homeland, it is ours, and most of our cultures are still intact.

They too easily hand out these labels when their is alot else at play... Maybe they're just not interested and bored? Maybe they have emotional difficulties? A lot of these specialists that diagnose these "disorders" dont really know what they're talking about or are looking to write a scrip and make a little money. I think it exists to an extent.

In some areas there is an oversupply of teachers, so a permanent position may be hard to get as there are waiting lists. You can Jump forward if you are willing to teach anywhere in the state.

Hispanics can be of Eurasian, African or "New World American" descent (white, black, Asian, Native American). To solve the language barrier, you work from several different angles: 1) You can spend "quality time" with your mom and mom-in-law and while doing so each mom gets to learn a few expressions at a time, such as courtesies (How are you today?) and compliments (That's a lovely outfit) or self descriptions (I love the holidays!).

A. It originates from someone's early theory of division of humans into 4 main racial groups: Caucazoid (white peoples) Negroid (black and dark skinned peoples) Mongoloid (Asian peoples) and Australozoid (apparantly Australia's aboriginals have their own group) Caucasian simply refers to anyone belonging to the Caucazoid family.

What dont you understand about illegal immigrants?
Q. What good are borders or countries when foreigners can enter and occupy cities, speaking their native language, and ignore Americas history, culture, laws and language. If they are having such a hard time in their own country it may be time for them to have a revolution. Fact is no Mexican would allow northern Mexico to be flooded with 95% English speaking Caucasians, having children, incurring education and health fees in the billions, and add an additional 35% to mexicos prisons. As many as 20 million illegal immigrants from Mexico are in America,. That is equal to about 25% of mexicos entire population. Now imagine 25% of Americas population were to illegally cross into Mexico. That would be 75 million illegal Americans in a country… [cont.]

A. The term Caucasian race (also Caucasoid or Europid) has been used to denote the general physical type of some or all of the indigenous populations of Europe, North Africa, the Horn of Africa, West Asia, Central Asia and South Asia. - so it is just a term that some people have chosen to use. Historically, the term has been used to describe the entire population of these regions, without regard necessarily to skin tone. In common use, the term is sometimes restricted to Europeans and other lighter-skinned populations within these areas, and may be considered equivalent to the varying definitions of white people. The concept of a Caucasian race was developed around 1800. Today most scholars reject the concept because human genome studies… [cont.]
