Why do "bown" people think they work harder than "white" people?

serenely, soMEone

Example: A sixteen year-old girl gets home from high-school to her family's corn farm, hops in the tractor and drives. In 6 hours (while listening to her MP3 player and talking on her cell phone) she plows - or plants, or harvests - more corn than 1,000 laborers could accomplish in the same six hours.

[Note: My great-grandparents did it the horse & plow way. Then, in the 1930's, bought tractors (first generation to own any) and kept up with technology.]

That means the food that would have taken 1,000 farmers is off to market for a thousand engineers, doctors, professors, nurses, technicians, musicians, etc, who aren't forced by unmechanized human limitations to be laborers.

Then, she parks that big tractor, does her homework and studies for her SAT so she can become a doctor, attorney, engineer, whatever.

Every time the U.S. has relied on cheap physical labor - slavery, illegal immigration - we've paid for it dearly over time. More advanced countries who don't rely on cheap labor invest in more efficient systems and take over our industry.

In fact, the wealthy America we know today didn't start to develop until after the railroads were built. The middle class didn't crop up until the time of Henry Ford and diesel tractors. Slavery had kept us poor and held us down. We learned a hard lesson, did the right thing and reaped the benefits. Now, relying on cheap labor is erasing those gains.

im brown (Indian) or "bown" as you like to call it, i haven't heard anyone say they work harder than another race, thats just ignorant on the part of whoever made that statement

some browns work harder than other browns, just like some whites work harder than others, its like that in all races

I don't know about the brown and the white thing - but many people think that working with your hands is hard work while working with your brain is easy. They have it wrong.

Because they are bigots?

You ask the question as though it were true. I have seen hard-working browns, and lazy browns. I don't think color is the operable variable. I also think most brown people have a good opinion of most white people. It is just the lunatic fringe that maintains bigotry.

Laughing Man Copycat

What are bown people...Like S&M people. I didn't know people were into bondage worked harder than white people.

"Cuz pimpin' ain't easy."

At least that's what Ice-T and Big Daddy Kane say, anyway.

Who are "bown" people?

If you mean that Hispanics (AKA brown people, according to you) think they work harder than American, it is just another lame excuse as to how we need them here. However, they are WRONG!

BabeHeart

What are 'bown' people? Do you mean "brown"? I don't know that they do think they work harder, but they do often do manual jobs that many other people don't care to do.

Perhaps, as a group, they are more likely to work more phsyical jobs than some other races, but even someone at a desk can 'work hard' so in that respect, it would vary upon the individual as to who actually works harder.

SidTheKid

bown people?????? Who are they????????????????

Siervocal

Necessity makes you work harder. It's not about race, it is about conditions. Eastern Europeans are white and still are very hard workers because of their need.

masterjack_98

don't know any bown people.

Chee

Who says they do?? Talk to a lot of "bown" people? Didn't know there were that many on your space ship. And I thought they beamed you back up?

Because it makes them feel important.

I remember years ago when there was this push on who's job was the most important. New York (I think) garbage collectors went on strike. It got NASTY.....literally. They floated the barge of garbage along the coast for quite awhile. I still wonder what happened to it. Anyway...EVERY job is important. It takes people from all walks of life to make the world go round. The problem is when we say 1 group is "more important" than another. We are more tightly intertwined than people want to admit. They work no harder or better than anyone else. They get paid less....but then again....no one ever thinks that what they do is ever paid enough when our prices keep going up. When you come to America....you plan to work hard and have that hard work paid off by moving up the social scale. Mexicans aren't comming here to have their kids and grand kids grow up to be lettuce pickers just like they were. They want to get them an education and make it so they don't have to do the same things again. It won't be that many generations when the "brown" people will be "too good" to do these jobs too.

They just haven't "got it" yet that "white" people have done these jobs all along. They moved up just like most people try and do. The difference is.....atleast as far as I'm concerned.....we need everybody to do every job that's here. We are dependant on every person to do their job. The problem is....when there are people that do these jobs...there is a "standard of living" they should be able to have for doing that. That "standard of living" or "quality of life" should be there and the problem is....it's going down....not up.

I've worked at stores at their openings or managed a huge case load of patients. It's easy when you are there at the start. You grow as it grows and your skills develope as the job advances. I couldn't pick as fast as they do when I've never done the job before. Just as they couldn't step in my shoes and do what I do. So it's easy to make a stupid statement like that when you don't know any different. It is human nature to know that your presence means something. Honestly....it is a need that's just as important as food and water and air. So people find something....anything....that makes their life "worth" something. Problem is....when people make a judgement as to what's better or worse. Mexicans no more make the world go round than white people do. That was there mistake. We need everyone. Mexicans aren't the be all or end all and neither is any other group. That's why "black poverty" is no different than "white poverty". Race isn't the issue....poverty is. Mexican womens issue of rape isn't any different that white or Asian or any other "special" group....Rape is the issue.....not what color the "victim" is. Unfair labor practices aren't because of a race group....it's GREED. So no one is "targeting" a group. Targeting the GROUP isn't going to fix the problem. They will just shift the problem to a different group.

loopy loo

do they that's a big generalization it doesn't matter what colour you are you can still be lazy maybe you should try asking them to their face ?

But some how I don't think you will!

Bad Samaritan

Unlikely.

clueless_nerd

I'm sure they don't ALL think that.

For the "bown" people who do think that it is because it probably is true for THEM.

ja man

Well "BROWN" people in some cases do work harder than we "White" people as they have something to prove. If we worked as hard as we complained sometimes we wouldn't have the problems we do

IvaNN

Because browns are stronger and Machos, and white are spoliled and femminists.

Mellivora

because they generally work harder for less...

It's Me Yal !

Becuase all whites do is cry. Oh, the sun is to bright. Oh, my hands are gonna get blisters. Oh, my kids get on my nerves. Oh, I can't cook. Mexicans shut up and work hard . Proven fact !
