Perhaps the school does not want to risk having an interracial couple coming to the prom so they let it be privately funded so it can be legally segregated.
And of course there's no real reason to believe that

Indians come from India, which is in Asia. Since he was referring to North America, why did you bring them up?

I think we have a misunderstanding. In the United States, another name for the Indigenous peoples of the Americans is Indian. I don't know if you are originally from the United States or whatever but using the term Indian for Indigenous peoples is very common.

~1630 on my mom's side
before the 1790 census on my dad's side.

The appellation you're looking for is American Indian, though it's still incorrect.

My apologizes for the false assumption, but I believe you will find the term Indian to be widely used and extremely common in the United States to refer to the Indigenous peoples of the Americas. Hope I helped clear things up! :wave:

Incorrectly so by people who are ignorant of what the proper names for certain ethnicities are.

I very much admire the Japanese way of doing things in regards to immigration. Although it probably would not work for the United States, it seems to be doing very well for Japan! :thumbsup:

Thank you for understanding that. Different cultures can't live united in one nation. It will never work and did never work anywhere. In japan we dont want such chaotic circumstances like you have in the usa.

Who cares?

You're not going to solve racism by forcing people to group together.
I see it as a promotion of security over freedom. I opt for the freedom which means we must accept the bad along with the good

You're right segregation works much better:thumbsup:

So, government has a right to decide who you can and cannot invite to your party? Freedom of association should be suspended?

Again: This applies to PRIVATE parties. If the school is sponsoring the event, it's a different story. But no government should be allowed to dictate the guest list of a private party. No matter what.

Yeah, look what your culture did when unrestricted.

The Butchers of Asia.

Such cruality will never be forgotten, what you did to the POW's, I'd never even buy a Jap car because of it.

Most Germans accept what happened and are sorry.

Japs on the other hand, often like to pretend it never happened.

Yes, I think Japan is a success because it is a nation based on a specific group of people with the same culture, heritage, and other things. The United States however, has become a place where anyone can be an American. All it really has become is geographic location. I'm surprised that our government doesn't just give American status to every single person on Earth. It means very little to be called an American these days.

If Culture never changed or mixed and its so wrong for it to happen, your nation would still be a Colony or part of the Commonwealth at least and you'd all still be British stock.
