HUH?
I never suggested anything regarding what people "should" do or not. I merely asked the question if the practice occurs with the same relative frequency from one race/ethnic group to the other. It's my experience that the type of comments I highlighted (namely Tokie's comment) tend to be more frequent with Whites wanting to lend their advice to Blacks, e.g., about what they should do and who they should listen to.
All I asked about is if this is a practice that's observed in every (or most groups) in the same fashion and with the same frequency.
