Ewoks, specifically the Ewoks of Endor.

You see, I was an AT-ST driver until the incident. I, and my gunner, "Steve", were part of a light recon troop sent to reinforce a legion of peace keepers that were defending a strategic point from a terrorist attack, which were aided, no, not aided, rather the terrorist force composed mostly of the indigenous Ewoks. Ewoks, who we went out of our way to leave alone prior to this, as we respected their borders and way of life (like how we respect all lifeforms equally. Don't listen to the terrorist propaganda). Now, the defending legion were heavily outnumbered and outgunned, and they were screaming for help; a cry we absorbed with all valor and honor that we, we of the light recon troop, could muster. Taking a reinforced platoon of mechanized Stormtroopers for support, we embarked. Not much needs to be said, as we hit an anti-mech pit that the Ewoks built only several kilometers from our base; 50 kilometers from the battle, and hundreds from the Ewoks' villages. Terrain overlay didn't pick it up. Steve died, slowly, his lifeblood running over me as we sat and waited to die in our mechanical tomb, seventy meters under the earth.

Now, I'm living my life away on a government disability pension, waking up screaming as I see the shadows on my walls.... Shadows I swore were watching us on Endor, in the trees just beyond the defensive perimeter.

It's the Ewoks man, the Ewoks.

@Uprising:

Women are vicious. Statistically, Western women are more aggressive than Western men--but only if you count what we call "relational aggression": That is, shunning, exclusion, gossip, not-so-friendly teasing, undermining reputation, etc.

The difference is not too great, though. Women are only a little more aggressive than men, and more of their aggression is directed at other women than at men. And men are much more likely to engage in physical conflict.

Don't let that turn you off trying to make friends with females, though. There are a good many of us who know very well what it feels like to be treated badly, and who refuse to do so to anyone else, especially unprovoked.

Seems like a failed poll, but still with some interesting results. I'm a little surprised that white females is in a strong lead. I didn't expect that, but it sounds reasonable given the arguments in the thread.

I grew up in a very VERY diverse place, and I was really never hassled or bothered by members of any race other than my own (Caucasian), and therefore, I never understood bigotry or racism. My only bigotry grew against white people.

Agreed! Most women I know are like this, even flesh-and-blood family members. Nasty cows, the lot of them. (Referring to 95.5% of women I've met)

Yes we exist, but are rare in my opinion. Just give your trust carefully. I haven't found a trustworthy female friend locally in a long time. They keep moving away. :(

Is this an NT-to-aspie thing? Or are women just vicious to each other no matter what their background is? I personally get crapped on mostly by men, but some women do it too, the men are in majority tho, I rarely have problems with women unless it's about one of those touchy subjects like love.

I think of people and how they treat me individually. I don't think about what "group" (in the way you've grouped them) they may belong to.

I didn't see "a-holes" in your list. They come in all shapes and colors.

Arabs (and Persians, and Indians, and Berbers, etc. etc.) are Caucasians also (at least, if we use "Caucasian" in the sense of "Caucasoid race").

This is a fascinating poll and has always stuck with me so had to play with the search engine to resurrect it :)

FWIW, here are my thoughts but want to add that there are many exceptions, of course.....(i am a Caucasian female)

"Treated worse", I would take to mean the unfriendliest, hardest to get to know.......

Of all groups, I have had the hardest time with older, Caucasian females (age 50+), especially if they have grey hair!! !! !! They HATE me for some reason (of course maybe i am just being paranoid)....

Next on the list of grumpiest is college aged Caucasian males.......not that they are necessarily grumpy by nature, but i think they hate crazy cat ladies (meh)

I have had the best experiences with females in their 30's and African American males.

while caucasian males by the sheer fact of numbers and population made up the bulk of the problems I had, most of the non-caucasian males were a problem too.

The one exception was some guy from Jamaica in high school. While he wasn't exactly a friend, he wasn't mean to me like the others were. Everybody else, regardless of color or ethnicity, was a jerk to me.

I guess mostly caucasian males, because they were more numerous. I don't attach much significance to that. I was a dork and was basically a target for anyone who needed to expend some frustration. In high school, I had a particularly hard time with Latino males. I developed a marked aversion to Latinos and Latinas until I worked at a discount store in my senior year. A lot of my coworkers where of Mexican descent, and I realized I related to them more than I did to the white people who ran the store.

As for who as best at bullying, I would say it was caucasian females. I'd been punched, kicked and pushed to the ground by guys, but it was a pair of young ladies ridiculing me that nearly made me cry. It hurt far worse than a face-plant on the asphalt.

Too bad cant pick both genders of caucasians. I get treated the worst usually by other Caucasians and I myself am Caucasian. I usually get along better with Asians than my own ethnicity. :shrug:

This aspect of female bullying was more pronounced during High School, especially grades 8-10. Then again, most middle schoolers should not be allowed in society. Little monsters!
Anyway, I am only relating my expeiences, not "bashing" per se.
On the pother hand, a white adult female who was my "friend" managed to destroy my Life's work so there is that.. ( she might be on the Spectrum too tho..)

Sincerely,
Matthew
