Why do Indian women prefer white men than black men?
Hi I'm an Indian Woman in SA, and have had a steady Indian boyfriend for a very long time till we split up. I have also had white boyfriends. I guess it really is up to one's personal preference and how attracted u are to another person. Indians are "governed" somehow by beliefs, assumptions and values that in a huge way deplete mixing of races, and although this isn't correct, it conforms to society and upbringing. Believe me, I have had stares from all races except black whenever my white boyfriend and I went out together. Still it is true and I don't know why, it's always safe to have a boyfriend of any other race besides black in the Indian community - Indians reading this will understand what I mean. Its more religion and cultural than anything else, I believe if u love someone, whomever he/she is, then that's great and you should go for it.

What are the different types of jewelry Indians wear?
American Indians are people like any other: some prefer pearls, some prefer gold over silver, some love diamonds. If they come from a metalsmithing family, the chances are good they will prefer to wear their own jewelry, but not necessarily. If you're asking what different types of jewelry Indians wear during their ceremonies, at powwows, and/or historically speaking, then the answer depends on their tribal affiliation/history/cultural customs, etc. The formal regalia of a Woodlands, or northern Plains person would most likely be buckskin and beadwork, with complementary neckware, earrings and so forth. A member of a southwestern tribe would be apt to wear their own style of clothing complemented by turquoise and silver. Just like any American, be they Swedish-American, Italian-American, Polish-American, Indian-American or American Indian, we all have our own unique styles.

Did American Indians have facial hair?
The answer is yes and no. Mainly it depends on the persons genetics and family history. If they had ancestors from other races who had facial hair then yes they will have facial hair too. Otherwise true blooded American Indians cannot grow facial hair cause of the smooth skin they inherited. Also some American Indian tribes can grow facial hair but prefer to shave it clean, mainly due to the ancestors beliefs that man should not be at the same level in appearance as animals.
