Are you referring to Native Americans or the Indians in India? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1444651 Dot refers to the bindi an Indian from India wears on her forehead. Feather refers to something typically associated with an American Indian. An investment in knowledge pays the best interest. -Benjamin Franklin |

User ID: 1601336 United States 12/28/2011 06:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | That isn't even a regional view... The amount of American genetic diversity is far behind that of many countries due to the Segregation Period and it's effects on American Culture. Despite an incredible rate of immigration to America, the majority of immigrants moved into communities of people from their own native countries. Hence "Lil' Italy" and "Chinatown". The "Melting Pot" hasn't affected genetic diversity in America until recently, and that is generally accepted as the past 20-30 years. Otherwise the term "Melting Pot" was used to describe American Culture being a blend of it's collection of immigrant cultures. It was not used to describe a genetic blending, as many wrongly assume. Countries like Brazil are generations ahead of America in terms of Genetic Diversity. ----------------- Now to address India directly, much like China it is comprised of many diverse groups of people, but the average Western Education usually gives only a brief lesson on South Asia and a bulk of the time is spent on Euro-Centric history instead. From the far north to the southern tip of India the people are incredibly different in appearance and culture. ======================== Despite your Co-workers claims, she is ignorant to the very subject she is using to claim superiority over a country that is on pace to pass China as the worlds most populated. You should laugh at her the next time she decides to use bigotry to lift her own self-esteem and explain that her claims are ridiculous. |

Also the reason Indian women ( both Indians) are stronger is because they know the creator and trust in Him. Quoting: Lion of Judah "I was told today that American women are genetically stronger than Indian (dot not feather) women." What part of this implies that she said Indian women are stronger?

Globally, few women enjoy the freedoms of the American Woman. If that is what she meant, I agree. Again... it has nothing to do with genetics. Yep, you are right. And, how sad is that, in this day and age... It's weird to live on a planet where some people enjoy the highest level of our technology and luxury, while many people are still living in rain forests, and far too many people are living in complete squalor and poverty.

War, famine, and social castes are all still prevalent in today's modern error, all due to the tyranny of a few. We should be so much further along by now, but despite the appearance of a Golden Age in technology, it is really a dark age as only a small portion of the world are enlightened. Meaning only a small percentage of the world enjoy things that were invented 50-100 years ago like electricity, televisions, phone, and automobiles. Really, really sad. |

On a side note, lots of people in America tend to pretend to be the ethnicity of the area that they move into. When my grandparents moved to the town that I live in now, they suddenly became full blooded German. Because this helped them fit in and become accepted. I have the family tree going back hundreds of years, so I know that there is lots of Dutch, Italian, and Scottish on that side of the tree, with only a tiny amount of German. They just chose to forget that. (They also didn't mention Indian (feather) step parent and step sibling. My Mother's family tree is a whole different ball of wax. My family likes to move around and make love and war. |

Mostly European blooded ancestors with French, Welch, Scottish and Isle of Man mixed in, probably with a touch of German and a dash of American Indian.
