Thanks for your comment. But...Hey Black Salsa Mama,<br />Thanks for your comment. But it did seem to me that in the US each group sticks to itself, being white, black, latino, etc. And once I asked a black student about why and she seemed puzzled and replied: should it be otherwise? So it seems to be a cultural thing rather than a racial issue. At least from my experience and point of view. And you should definitely come to Brazil and make up your mind about it since my opinions would obviously be biased :)Sambahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07120077413896397663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811305918135820763.post-65938651506409488782011-08-22T00:57:42.248+02:002011-08-22T00:57:42.248+02:00Wow. really amazing information.

I am Black American and it is refreshing to hear people from other countries who met Americans or traveled to America and noticed how OBSESSED whites are with race here. Its a real sickness. I almost wish we were like Brazil in that if there were so many different people, whites would have to get over their white privilege and acknowledge that Jesus made and will save those of every TRIBE, TONGUE and NATION.<br /><br />I came to this sight because I am a "salsera" that recently became addicted to Samba. I'm taking a class now and learning more every day about the history of your country, music and culture. God bless!

And A. likes them but does not live for them either... which makes a few parties once in a while ok.<br /><br />Is it my impression or are there a lot of extrovert indians with introvert goris out there??Sambahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07120077413896397663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811305918135820763.post-26181708610944585322011-05-16T17:44:33.100+02:002011-05-16T17:44:33.100+02:00Yeah just reading the word huge party is enough to...Yeah just reading the word huge party is enough to make me feel uncomfy, I hate them :) I always end up being in very awkward territory too, small talk with complete stranger in loud music, not my thing, and as you pointed out what's left to do? Smoke drink and eat. Like you I don't smoke, I don't drink much more than one or two glass of wine, and seriously how much food can you eat without looking rude or bulimic? <br />I try to avoid such gathering, if I can't I generally find an excuse to leave early. DH don't mind big parties, but he doesn't live for them so that makes it easy for us.Cynthia Hallerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15693243354879700715noreply@blogger.com
