Of course I would.
by Major Look at yerself on May 15th, 2008
I probably would if there was something I could do. Their culture, religion or social standing would have nothing to do with it.

I agree with Admiral Sir John
absolutely!
Why not??? cooties?
by sweetbottom on May 15th, 2008
Absolutely! I do that on a regular basis. I always try to be helpful & am never discriminative.
by jenji on May 15th, 2008
absolutly...i would want someone to help me! :)
by Debris - the new slimline version. on May 15th, 2008
yes of course.
A person is a person regardless of race or social standing and if they were in need of assistance I would help in any way I could.
by Arisztid on May 31st, 2008
Of course. Why would I not?
by Account Closed on May 15th, 2008
I have and would continue to do so.
by - M.C.S. - Dave on May 15th, 2008
Yes their just as much of a person as I am. I am no better then they. And if I was in need of help. I would hope someone out there in this world would do the same. Or a least maybe make a cell phone call for help.
by Doc2000 on May 15th, 2008
In South Africa, where I live, it simply is NOT an option.
I will NEVER stop to assist anyone in this country. Some of the cultures here will put a real live baby in the middle of the road, when you stop to investigate, they kill you and your family and take your belongings.
If ever you come to "beautiful South Africa" on holiday, be on guard and never go into townships for tours or the like, you never know when violence will erupt in there settlements.
by ImNotAnonymous-COAT of Maestro-ness on May 15th, 2008
Yes,yes, and yes!
by sm00z on May 31st, 2008
I would help him as long as he isn't packing an Uzi.
by Jade on May 15th, 2008
What has all that got to do with helping someone? If you will not extend a helping hand to someone because they are different, it says a heck of a lot about YOUR character.
by ChandaDiane - est. 1975 on May 15th, 2008
None of that has anything to do with me helping someone.
by dead leaves raked in a pile on January 31st, 2009
Of course I would and often have without even giving it a thought.
I find this question somewhat contemptible,
by ILoveLois on January 31st, 2009
Yes, of course I would. Why wouldn't I?
by Colt COAT of Justice on January 31st, 2009
Without a second thought!
by Phillis - Zacks little sister on January 31st, 2009
Of course I would.....and I DO!!
by Lori K still ignores stalkers and trolls on January 31st, 2009
Honestly, it depends on what help they need and why they need it...no matter who they are
by yup. on September 24th, 2008
Most definitely. It's those people that are of the same culture, religion and social standing that I try to stay away from!
Just kidding, of course.
by Merfish on June 1st, 2008
I don't think I would ask those question in the first place.
"Hi, need help? Please fill out this application to see if you are worhty of me helping."
"Ooh, I see you are hamster worshipper, sorry, not on my list of who I can help. Bye."
by Alicia on October 11th, 2009
Yes I would....small things make a big difference...check out www.scriboz.com and http://scriboz.com/szblog
by Merriment on October 7th, 2009
How would I even know they were of a different culture, religion or social standing? I don't assume any of those factors based on looks.
I help whenever, wherever, and whoever I can. I also use common sense about doing so when I am alone.
by Ed the Jetpacking Headbanger on October 7th, 2009
Absolutely!
by KimKfromAbseconNJ on October 7th, 2009
Yes. I have bought homeless people a cup of coffee at times, rather than giving them money for it. I try to be helpful, as much as I can. I believe in treating people the way I would want to be treated.
by Karen Anne Queen of AB on August 7th, 2009
+5 People are people and are all human beings. I will stop to help anyone.
by tfc225 on August 7th, 2009
yeah
by tfc225 on August 7th, 2009
yeah
by Eddie O. on June 24th, 2009
yeah why wouldn't i
by SigFreud27 on June 8th, 2009
i would have to say any decent person shouldn't think twice about helping somebody, regardless of what they look like or what they believe or any of that BS. a lot of people tell themselves they would but wouldn't. one instance that sticks out in my mind was after 9/11 happened, my friend akim and i were walking to class and out of nowhere this kid just socks him in the face. i started to beat this other kid a bunch, bashed his head into a locker and tried to help out my friend cuz he was bleeding pretty bad. i ended up getting a weeklong suspension for fighting even though that other jerk decided to punch akim. i figured he was targeted because he's muslim (he was an american citizen, so it pissed me off he was targeted)
by Andrew on May 23rd, 2009
Yes.Show someone kindness and they will be more likely to pass it on.
by olan black on May 22nd, 2009
yes, I don't think it is a question of culture when a person needs help. this practice was outlawed in the US in the 1960's. prior to the civil rights act, blacks were often not provided public services, or they would arrive so late that the service was not needed. i am speaking of basic fire, police and ambulance service. to question this again would basically be trying to roll back the civil rights laws.
by CoRoNa_ChiCK ILOVEMYH@TERS on March 18th, 2009
I have.
by Hainclopse on February 2nd, 2009
If I thought I could actually help, I would.
by Sparky on February 1st, 2009
Sure. I have before and see no reason why I shouldn't again.
by DA BEN DAN yanggui zi on January 31st, 2009
Of course and I often have....worked for a major airline for 31 years.
by xhepera on January 31st, 2009
Absolutely. Wouldn't you?
by msflower76 on January 31st, 2009
What does the culture or race have to do with needing help?? Of course I would help!!
by Anonymous AAA on January 31st, 2009
Definitely , I did that & I am willing to do it again & again for aaaaaaaaaany person whatsoever
by Sourgirl Cobain on January 31st, 2009
Yes I would, because at the end of the day we're all the same HUMAN
by ConservativelyLiberal on January 24th, 2009
Sure.
by Blackberry. on January 24th, 2009
Yeah.
by Clairesghost on January 24th, 2009
Yes i would, i consider my self racially/culturally blind, if a person needs help i will try to help to the best of my ability.
by dont worry about me on October 2nd, 2008
yea if it was a child the rest probably not unless they were in real danger...too much violence for me to just stop and help people any more
by Symbeline on September 24th, 2008
Yeah, and have done so before.
Also, when I was younger, for some reason most of my friends were either Indians or black people. By hanging out with people like this for years, you realize just how much the word race or country barely seems to matter much.
I'm also French, quite reputed for hating just about everyone but the French-apparently.
by teddy boar on September 24th, 2008
Yes, I would if requested. Have you ever remark how most people are helpful each time you need and ask for nothing ?
But only if requested. One should never ask people in need of you to file a form first.
by Anonymous on September 24th, 2008
I have done so many times and i will continue to do so :)
by Teri on September 23rd, 2008
Any day....a person in need is just that....I do not judge others or pick and choose who I will help because of any difference or lack there of...
by LuckyLefty on August 8th, 2008
Race has little value to me...
I definitely wouldn't base my decision on how different they were from me.
by Kw Hudd-Vets-superquack on June 1st, 2008
Why not? Should we even notice if there is a difference?
by cantfoolthewise on August 10th, 2011
I do not care what color or culture people are, If I don't know or care about you i will not extend help, the sad reality is when you need help no one helps you.
Do not help people in car wrecks or pedestrians that been hit by a vehicles, because they can accused you of causing them harm and sue you. just go to payphone or highway call box and call 911
Just because someone is a child does not mean they are innocent they could be decoys used by some adults attempting to rob you.
If your gut feeling says do not help, don't do it.
Is it racist to call the black one Scary Spice?

What is worse...a blatant racist/bigot or one who has no idea what a racist/bigot he/she is? Does being clueless make it less awful?
