text: I am a Caucasian born in the USA now living in another country.  I think there are major differences in blacks within the different regions of the USA. It is not possible to truly understand minority issues unless you are a minority, and if you are not from an oppressed race it is even harder to understand. Comparing European blacks or Asian blacks with an American black is not possible, in my opinion. I could come up with some demographic information, but I cannot ever describe the FEELINGS of an American ethnic minority, and I certainly cannot compare southern USA blacks to Egyptian blacks. \nI find Americans to be more verbal about the intolerance they display in their society. That does not necessarily mean other countries are more tolerant of minorities ; it means Americans are very opinionated and unafraid to express how they feel. \nI think there is worldwide racial/ethnic profiling. It has always existed. Good luck on your study !
