Mississippi Chinese The people who shopped at his store were mostly poor blacks working on plantations, relatively well-off laborers who had cash from their work draining swamps and cutting timber in the Delta in the late 19th century, or poorly paid manual laborers in town. The Chinese grocery was, however, a welcoming place for African Americans in the Delta: a place to sit and talk, pass the time, and even find work from landowners who would check there for available day laborers. Chinese in the Delta attempted to maintain a certain distance from others in society, hoping to insulate themselves from problems and concentrate on their economic success. mshistory.k12.ms.us /features/feature33/chinese.html   (1854 words)

What makes something British? - Education - The British Council United Kingdom Conventionally, the unpredictable nature of the British weather is believed to prompt people to talk about it, and to have constructed a range of idiomatic conversational openings based on it, such as 'Nice weather we're having, isn't it?'. People living in Britain - as well as people living elsewhere but of 'British origin'- differ significantly in their unspoken intuitions on this subject; they also express quite different beliefs on the question whenever it is openly discussed). Over the last three decades, the popularity of British Chinese restaurants has expanded from primarily the cheaper end of the restaurant range into the full spectrum of menus and kinds of decor, including expensive, Westernised nouvelle cuisine restaurants. www.britishcouncil.org /studies/stdsbsn11britishactivity.htm   (1799 words)

Talk Talk China Chinese people don’t react the way that you’d expect them to at many “foreign” events like plays or concerts (14 year old psychotic girls screaming for asexual non-threating wholesome Supergirls, not withstanding).

Rachel's Pages Mandarin Chinese names for gamers I have also tried to list a number which allows for easy dice-rolling; some of the names are not as common as others, but were included to round out the list. Chinese surnames, like English ones, have meaning, but few people pay attention to them or even truly understand what the meaning has to do with the actual name. However, names do generally maintain the same structure in the different Chinese languages, and therefore, while the pronunciations may be different, the ways of using the names and frequency of use will be basically the same. www.jiawen.net /Chinesenames.html   (2825 words)

Blazing Saddles When this movie came out, all people could talk about was the scene where the bean-eating cowboys fart around the campfire, but that scene is tame by today's standards. Curious how it comes out, the stars watch the end of the movie on the screen of Graumann's Chinese.) It's not only one of the funniest things ever committed to film, but is also one of the most scathing portrayals of racism and official corruption. Saddles is pretty far down the list of the top comedies at IMDb, probably underrated, but the competition is stiff, so perhaps it is fairly placed. www.fakes.net /blazingsaddles.htm   (1032 words)
