I find it strange that someone of your age and in a VERY diverse city would think of any of these things.
Something doesn’t add up.
Wait, 32? I assumed he was actually 16 or maybe 22 at max, the way he talks about girls not liking him, cousins etc I had the image in my head of someone fairly young.
Exactly, me too. So yesterday when he was on the whole kissing the bar waitress thing, I was like, wait what? You are old enough to be in a bar?
So i searched the username and he posted in the “30 something’s” forum that he’s 32. Also, he’s had this profile since 2014, so it’s not like a new troll profile. In 2015 he was asking strange questions about showering procedures in he gym.
Then again, this is the internet and lies are common.
Your spy skills are impressive.
I always wished I could be a secret agent or a PI.
This is as close as I can get1 -

So in other words your saying to not annoy you cause you will hack my computer and release my unpublished beauty and the beast fan fiction?
Bahahaha better watch out!
Nah I just wanted to expose the troll! You are not a troll (yet)0 -

If you know this girl is a "nice girl" then I'm assuming you have met her in order to form this opinion. Therefore it's not the first conversation she has had with either your mother or you. She has asked two questions of two different people, both of a very different nature so why would you assume that every time you see her (are you expecting to see her a lot suddenly?!) she is going to only ask racial or cultural questions?! I think you are either trolling or just overly sensitive.
As for me, I have lived in a couple of different countries other than my home country. I love, love, LOVE meeting people of new nationalities, cultures and religions. I am utterly fascinated by people and I ask a million questions about where they are from, the way they live their lives and how they view the rest of the world. Gosh I've learnt so much and now understand much better WHY people think differently maybe than I do. I am more open and tolerant to other peoples' viewpoints, I may still disagree with the way they think but can understand why they think their way.
Maybe your distant cousin is just curious and wants to know about her family members. Maybe she's just maing conversation. What's odd about that? And oh, if you are a different colour than her (I am assuming since you made a big deal out of telling us she is Caucasian that you are not!) , then newsflash, you ARE different to her... So...? Every single one of us is unique and "different" to the next person. What's the great secret about where you / your parents / other family members are from? Personally I think you are making this into an issue that doesn't exist.
There you go again saying I’m not Caucasian. I am part Caucasian and that’s how most people perceive me.
People must not have double standards. If it’s interesting that I’m also another race then it’s just as interesting to be white too. Stop calling me different.
Just stop with the BS posting please. You are one race: Human. Skin color doesn't matter, sexual orientation doesn't matter, religion, etc. Noe of it *kitten* matters. Be the best person you can be and stop *kitten* worrying (and posting) about the *kitten* little things.
I said I’m just one race too but people in this thread say I’m different
Everyone is different. Why do you think you shouldn’t be?
You have on multiple occasions said you are mixed. So you are one race but also mixed?
Are you have Caucasian and also have Caucasian?1 -

So, then why bother posting? You're worrying about trivial *kitten*. Live your life and stop *kitten* worrying about whether you get facebook likes, your cousin thinks something about you, etc.
Log out from the internet, and go enjoy life and stop *kitten* worrying about stupid *kitten*.2 -

Is it true you're in your early 30s and live in San Francisco? I hear rent on a one bedroom starts at like $2,000 a month. You must be wealthy.
Wait I want privacy. Are you trying to figure out who I am? Are people on this forum able to?
I don't know how she figured that out. I always thought you were in your early 20s and from Hong Kong but a frequent visitor to Poland, but that was just speculation on my part. The kids on this site are very adept at figuring things out as they were raised predominantly by electronica. You just can't turn your back on them for a minute because they really have the upper hand in this venue.
All I did was search by username and scrolled through to see what caught my eye. You’re the one who posted it, I didn’t hack you. Pahlease

Do you think people are gonna find these things I wrote? Like if I get married she won’t like these things.
she would need to know your username. maybe create a new account when you get married and delete this one.
or maybe stop posting nonsense like this that will embarrass you if you lost your anonymity2 -

I don't understand why you should let it bother you that somone is curious about your ethnicity. Either give them the complex history or shrug your shoulders, say "I'm American, we're all a bit mixed together" and move on with your life.2

You sir, will never ever have to worry about getting married. Institutionalized, yes. Married, no.15 -
Workout4Health wrote: »And she asked me if my Caucasian uncle is racist.
If she is serious, then answer her question and that will be the end of it. If your uncle is not from the Caucasus mountains, then he is not Caucasian. It is an archaic term rejected by anthropologists now. According to modern science, there is no such thing as race. Or another way to say it is humans are all of the same race.
http://www.newsweek.com/there-no-such-thing-race-283123
Ethnicity simply means lineage. We are all from different families. People have the characteristics of their families. Culture is completely external. A person can be part of any culture regardless of their lineage.
The U.S. education system and media continually inject race into every situation, which confuses many people. There is real racism, but it isn't based on facts. The answer is to provide the facts.0 -

That’s interesting but what about animals? Are humans the same as animals too since we’re related to apes?
Quit being silly.2
