i got a question also, sorry for going off topic but its about down syndrome too. um do those people know that they are not like us (normal) people?

I went to elementary school with a black girl who had down syndrome.

you just see many more white people than blacks and asians.

here is one study I found that discusses DS among other races: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/q...t_uids=9006310

Here in NYC we get all races, so to answer your question ...yes.

You know what looks funny though that you may have never seen..a gay asian. Just wierd if I may add.

Ah, thanx GBC, Rob, and Mino. I have no idea why me and the gf actually had an intelligent conversation but I appreciate the help

That would probably be hard to generalize. If they were raised in loving care and so that they were not mistreated in any way then in probably would not be a big deal to them. But if they were picked on a lot and ostracized for their condition then they would probably realize the differences and feel bad about them. I guess it would be different for each one.

Well they don't have too much of a package, so maybe after they get passed the butt cheeks it's just not worth it

OK, I distinctly recall an episode of "Trading Spaces" where two (male) gay couples traded houses and decorated each others' rooms. One of the couples consisted of an asian and a caucasion. The asian was probably the most "feminine" homosexual I have ever seen.
