What two attitudes toward free African-Americans remained in the north even after slavery had Disappeared?
Free African Americans in the North were treated as inferior even after slavery. They had few rights and considered 3/5 human.
What was the attitude of southern whites towards slavery?
While it is never a good idea to generalize, studies have shown that large majorities of southern whites accepted slavery. Some even felt it was the right thing, because they believed that black people (then called "negroes") were inferior and meant to be slaves. But other southern whites were somewhat more ambivalent about it; we know this because even though they kept slaves, they later arranged to set them free. It is also true that the way slaves were treated varied: some owners were harsh and brutal, while others were somewhat more humane. Still, there was little public discussion about whether keeping slaves was ethical, and most southern whites seemed to support slavery as a necessity for running a plantation. Based on newspaper and magazine articles of that time, we can conclude that a large majority of southern whites were in favor of slavery, or if they had their doubts, they were not vocal about them. But it should be noted that there were a few southerners who were opposed to slavery and who did their part to try to end it. Unfortunately, their views were not the dominant ones, so slavery persisted.
Do white men prefer Hispanic women?
Sometimes I think they choose to date Hispanic women if they appeal to them. Some think that white women are too uptight and dramatic (even though not all white women are like that). Obviously, white men pick hispanic women because of their beautiful looks, but they also pick them because their are very family oriented. They always stand by their husband, son, daughter, or any other family member no matter how hard things get if they know they can fix their problems.
What country has the most women?
In spite of local preferences, the genders of mankind are pretty much on an even keel, and have been for millenia. Thus China, with the largest population on Earth, has the most women. India, the second most. And the United States, the third most. They say the former Russian States has more women than men 3 to 1 and on some places in Moldovia, Ukraine as high as 4 to 1, but its not happy days for western men that have a few grand to marry them, these women are mainly scam artists and your genuine good women don't get a look in because of the reputation these women have in using and abusing western men.
What is institutional sexism?
Institutional sexism is the discrimination against one gender (usually women) by means of actual rules, such as a rule stating that a particular job can only be filled by a man.
