Do white people Always wash their hands?

Question:

i try not to make broad generalizations about people but it seems that the white people i work with don't like to wash their hands after being in the bathroom.I think it;s sick and i am a germaphobe so it aggravates me.but i don't want to ask them if they washed their hands because it might embarrassed them.

Even when i was a daycare teacher it seemed like the white kids always "forgot" to wash their hands!

Answers:
I don't usually make generalizations either but the two white people at my work place ALSO forget to wash their hands. The entire staff at our school knows it and everyone's disgusted by it. Since we work with children it only makes things worse. But really, besides those two, I don't know.

The reality is that most people don't to wash their hands as often as they should. Most kids don't wash their hands as often as they should either. That's why we have flu and cold outbreaks at school.

If you're really grossed out by it. get some Purell or Germ X and use it between hand washings.

People in general don't wash their hands enough.it's not a white issue

yeah we are white trash.water makes us sick

I Always wash my hands, so this must be you! Do black people wear sunscreen?

i don't think it's a white or a black thing. i think it's a lazy - hygienically challenged kind of thing.

I dont know..I dont spend that much time in restrooms watching people.

I would assume that there are all different types of people that either do or do not wash after using the bathroom.

where do you work because if it is in a restaurant then you need to report that before y'all get closed down for that being a health code violation i've just noticed people in general don't wash their hands lately after going to the bathroom, all races. i don't know why this is, but i find it gross as well. so to answer your question, yes, i always wash my hands and i'm white.

Its nothing to do with being white. im sure plenty of black people do it too.

That is kind of a tacky question. Men, no matter what color they are usually don't wash there hands, but most women do, whatever color they are.

Exactly.they just "forgot" to. LOL. Oh lord..not true.you sound a bit more inteligent than those around you honey. Thank God you were taught better.I've washed mine since I was small.
I'm ashamed of my people.lol.

This one guy said to me once when I was leaving a bathroom. "Where I come from we wash our hands after we go to the bathroom." I replied "Where I come from, we don't pee on our hands."

LOL

Seriously though, I think most white people and people in general wash their hands "most" of the time after going to the bathroom I know I do.

must be in your area, in my area it seems to be a different race. but its not a race thing..many people dont Since you're a germaphobe, you'd probably get skeeved out even if they did wash their hands.

Based on your experiences, it sounds like black people wash their hands more than white people.

I have my own experiences, but I won't post them so as to prevent further support for black stereotypes.

Im also a germaphobe and im white I wash my hands constantly,Im also a out spoken person and if I see people I work with not washing there hands I tell them I dont care,We prepare food all day,I also see what your saying too. i'LL ANSWER YOUR QUESTION LATER.i HAVE TO GO WASH MY HANDS

If you don't want to be called a racist don't ask a question that singles out a race. Especially when you put "forget" in quotation marks like you're accusing the kids of being dirty on purpose or something. People aren't going to appreciate you asking if anything is a "white thing" just like people get offended if you say rice is an "asain thing" or something else like that. I think people forget that white people can be victims of racism as much as minorities, people just don't react to it as badly because either they think it is justified or they just act like racism against whites is an oxymoron. But if you think about what you just said, it pretty much proposes a stereotype and so if you dont like being stereotyped dont try to stereotype others. Plus its just a stupid question to ask.

Do you watch everyone, or just the white people to see if they wash their hands? Do you feel that you don't have to watch the black people because you "know" they'll wash their hands without fail? You need to get a grip. I'd be willing to bet that the percentages are the same for all races. I don't think washing your hands is a genetic thing.

I think it's a class question, not race. I see white and black and hispanics not wash their hands. I also see these people throw trash on the ground. They are lazy and don't care about others. If your family is middle class, you prob were taught to wash your hands. but everywhere I go now, people use paper towels to open the door. apparently, they've seen the same thing and don't want to touch the door!
