Actually it make sense. Looking at the figures in this report https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachm... - see for example chart 3.09 and 3.11, whites tend to be murdered much more b

"Evolution, it should be remembered, predates gender by a long time." 1. Good point - gender is 50 years old (first used in 1963). 2. What about other, non-human organisms? If we leave humans out of it, there have to be significan

People on the first list don't get to choose who they are. People on the second list make a conscious decision to use birth control. Thus the two are different. Same way hating men in general would be misandric. Hating men who do X is

Reading the comments below, I am guessing that most people simply don't understand the terminology you are using. Ie you have to define what are: 1. Public service 2. Lock in a price 3. What are the prices (vs margins) 4. What's a

Right - but I don't think anybody took that seriously. Even the tea partiers saying it most likely only meant it as a 'Obama is a very bad guy and the worst name we can call him is Hitler'. On the other hand the many liberal

Fair enough. But people did experiments like http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/twitter-user-replaces-white-... that show how same speech applied from opposite angles produces different results vis-a-vis being banned.

How does this in any way negate the comment you are responding to? His point is that people go to Gab because they are thrown out of other venues. You're just going on about how they deserve to be thrown out.

You have every right to believe in whatever you want. I'd suggest you read this piece by a someone who you can relate to - a "member of a desperate and discombobulated coastal elite" that discusses how definition of the term

You realize that the word 'racist' has lost all meaning by now? It simply means 'people I disagree with'. I think it's lost meaning starting with 2011 (thanks, Obama). See: http://chronicle.nytlabs.com&#x

You're mostly right. The law actually says "the Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination by privately owned places of public accommodation on the basis of race, color, religion or national origin." If someone

There is a big difference between the two. Businesses / customers are not required to patronize certain establishments. However establishments are prohibited by law from denying business to people they personally find objectionable.

Can you provide research that shows upside from hiring diverse candidates for the business (aside from benefitting the actual diversity hires)? Are there examples of business staffed by diverse staff that outperform boring white/asian

"Positive discrimination for minorities is legal." White and asian men (the groups discriminated by this policy) make up about 37% of US population. So in this instance we've already reached the point where 'minority&#x2

I'm not a native English speaker and to me this word has none of the connotations you describe. I'm with 'Residents of Spain, Latin America, the Caribbean, and some countries in Africa freely use the term mulatto, or its cogn

How is multiracial more accurate when it equally describes someone who's amerindian / chinese as european / african? If you could propose a more PC term than mulatto (which specifically describes someone with white/black

by omonra 10y ago
The answer to your question is 'black' because of political correctness. This is a great example of why it's pernicious - as it robs us of ability to describe the world. There is actually a more appropriate term - 'mulat

You missed my point. I don't care what you happen to believe. I'm pointing out that people probably objected to inserting a debatable & unpopular held view as a subclause in another argument. That forces people to either go al

My guess is that this is due to a matter of fact stating of a rather controversial opinion held by a minority of the population.

You're being glib with the term 'immigrant'. He was an upper middle class professional who moved to the west in order to obtain health treatment for his kid that was unavailable in iraq. https://www.google.com&#x2F

How is this different from advertisers selecting the age bracket or gender they want to target? I'm not sure why this is any more illegal.

1. I don't think of foreigners who live in Switzerland as 'immigrants' (despite the article calling them that). They are foreigners who are residing in the country (and most of them come from Europe anyways). It's extrem

If we strip your comment from the emotional affect, you're essentially saying that immigrants are happy to do menial jobs that the locals do not. How do countries without large immigrant (I won't even go to refugees) populations h

Is it normal for these new laptops to not have an SD card slot? That would be a major drawback for me as that's the easiest way to import photos and I don't want to lug around a card reader.

Why doesn't Amazon have a simple 'verified purchaser' flag that users can filter by? They know who actually *paid* for the item (since they collect payments).

I remember that file renamer program! Think it was actually rather well reviewed at the time. Didn't realize it was in some sort of bad UI hall of fame :)

This part of your comment is factually not true: "The kerfluffle over Apple's Irish tax bill is because the EU competitiveness committee has ruled that Ireland's low taxes are equivalent to an unfair subsidy. But the key poin
