White is a color, the perception which is evoked by light that stimulates all three types of color sensitive cone cells in the human eye in nearly equal amounts and with high brightness compared to the surroundings. A white visual stimulation will be void of hue and grayness.

White light can be generated in many ways. The Sun is such a source, electric incandescence is another. Modern light sources are fluorescent lamps and light-emitting diodes. An object that does not alter the color of light reflected from its surface will appear white, compared to the surroundings, unless it has very high specular reflection.

Since white objects such as clouds, snow and flowers appear often in nature, human culture has many references to white, often related to purity and cleanness. The high contrast between white and black is often used to represent opposites. In some cultures, like Chinese, white is considered to be a color that represents death. On the other hand in many cultures white represents purity, freedom, and hygenic purity.

What percent of white men do you think prefer Asian girls?
Q. I think that most men who like Asian girls are from more metropolitan areas (where there is more diversity). So in a city like Chicago or NYC, what percent of men do you think prefer Asian? That is, if given a choice, they would pick an Asian girl over a white girl. What percent of white men prefer white? What percent do you think don't care which race they're with?

How come white american parents dont punish their kids so munch?
Q. Not as much as other ethnic group, nationality religion, etc. White Anglo American Protestant parents dont punish their kids as frequently or as harshly as other parents such as Blacks, Asians, Hispanics, Jews, Catholics, etc. The question is why are they so lenient? White kids should be thankful for this. When I was a kid, I got much more than JUST a time out. And A lot of my other Mexican friends and other friends have as well such as getting pulled by the ear, spanked, grounded, whatever.

A. It isn't just white Americans, it's British parents too. Leniency when it comes to parenting leads to delinquency and mental health issues also - dumb a$$ lenient parents think that any form of punishment is "abuse" and will lead to "mental scarring". B!tch, not teaching your child right from wrong and punishing them when needed also leads to mental scarring! Children develop self-entitlement complexes and become juvenile, spoiled little brats who think they have a right to demand what they want and bully their peers. At worst, they become low-life criminals or just wasters that have no direction in life because they're used to getting everything on a plate. After being treated like that all your life, of course you're going to think, "wh [cont.]
