Teeth are naturally an ivory color ie white with a touch of yellow. Badly yellowing teeth is due to smoking usually, not to bad dentistry.

Call it what it is, racism. Oh wait, both nations are majority white. Well maybe it's just a stereotype and a joke then.


I'm sure it is - its just that only Americans seem to get the joke. No one I know in Britain is more than even vaguely aware that such a stereotype exists..so how come it came about?

[Vanders9]

Do some Indian parents cause an outrage if their children date/engage Pakistanis? Or is racism only something found in the white Western world?


Of course not! What is militant islam's attitude to us other than blatant racism?

I'm also led to believe there is a lot of racism in Japan, especially against Koreans.

One of the girls, Danielle Lloyd, is actually a former Miss Great Britain and is very attractive. She is, however, thick as two short planks, which kind of detracts from the whole package.

Well Britain is, I'm not sure about Amercia.

Evidently, the ratio of dentists to the general population in much of the UK is very low and a problem for some. Besides, we have to razz you about something besides the bonnie prince. ;o)

[MadMitch]

Bonnie Prince? He looks like they crossed Ted Kennedy with Chelsea Clinton.

[DeFault User]

It depends on which bonnie prince:

"Actually everyone is a racist."

I disagree. Everyone is prejudiced to some degree or another, but very few are truly racist. There is a difference.

Oh...that explains it, it's a peta freak set up. They are going to claim that woman was abused, whether she was or not. Maybe the other contestants are even PETA freaks, too.

One is a French fancy one is German/Greek take your pick.

You are right, prejudiced is probably a better term.

Sort of like the difference between someone who doesn't like spiders, and someone who is completely psychotic about them.

"Let me guess: you're female, big city, East or West Coast?"

I live in small town in the South, and I'm 100% male. I've been married for 15 years to a fine American woman, and believe there are still plenty of good, decent American women out there. There are good women everywhere. I bet you'd have better luck finding one in your home town though than you would searching Internet personal ads for mail order brides from some third world country. No doubt there are great women in all of the parts of the world you mentioned, but I would suggest that you are liable to get yourself in big trouble if you go searching for a foreign bride on the Internet.

Oh, I didn't see this post before I responded to the last one because you had only replied to your own post. But yes, that's right.

Of course Indians are appalled by discrimination, being consumed with the equality found in Hinduism...

[Dr. Eckleburg]

LOL.
