From my understanding the curriculum will still contain both evolution and the periodic table but in other class years. Not sure why the media are jumping from reducing the amount the two topics are being taught to it being a decision based

This has been a long term trend in Europe and Asia as well, going back into the millennial era. I remember getting into arguments with American left wingers and LGBTQ Americans saying that the lack of gay bars in Asia wasn't a sign of

Indian Americans were/are actually exceptional in that they tended to be more likely to be nonchalant about the Hindu-Muslim conflict compared to other Indian diaspora groups - e.g. Canada/Europe/Australia etc... were and are

The caste system is also present in Islam and Christianity ethnoreligious communities, but absent from the Buddhist communities. De facto casteism is worse in Pakistan than in much of India (especially South India where most techies come fr

This never made any sense in a global context. Islamophobia has always been a thing in Europe for example. Hindus and Muslims have always lived a somewhat segregated lifestyle in Indian culture as well (similar to Hispanics in the US). If y

True. But you can also generalise that people in a certain country react differently to people in another country for the purpose of identity politics. A politician calling a person or party "racist" only makes sense if a meaningf

Would you say that Nvidia's role in AI is based off software or hardware?

Reading some of the comments here, I think too many people (notably quite a few Americans) don't quite understand how severe cultural and philosophical differences between countries and cultures can be. It can very even between two peo

It's famous that the Portuguese and Spanish live with their parents until 30s (increasingly 40s) and usually close to their grand parents.

All of them. I often attend a lot of events where you get diaspora from across the world, and one thing that all the Indians will agree on is that Indian American don't mix with natives as much as Indians in other parts of the world. T

British Blacks. And also just to point out that racial minorities have been mixing in Europe, Africa and Asia for thousands of years. Look at immigration in the Roman era for example.

by witchesindublin 3y ago
Just to add another point. You forget that the minorities in the US have assimilated into American culture. If you put a British Black person and Black American into a same room, or Indian American and British Indian, they would have a lot

Read up on the history of immigration to Europe, Africa and Asia. You act as if the US is the only place where immigration has ever happened.

Northern Europe is much less diverse and Southern Europe, but there are also parts of the US which are similarly less diverse (especially once you have taken out Hispanics from the equation who are often white or slightly non-white). Americ

It obvious you have limited interaction with people from around the world since you seem to have no knowledge about how diverse many other parts of the world are, with much better results too. I actually meet a lot of Indians who critise th

You represent what the problem with Americans tend to be. You assume that your culture and philosophy is the best, and then start to hate how all the locals hate you and blame it on their culture. Southern Europe and much of Asia has had in

Southern Europe has much more visible minorities than most of the US, especially the smaller and medium sized towns. Not sure where you have been. Most Indians I have met usually have negative views about racism and diversity in the US.

Indians are fairly culturally diverse if you only compare the major cities. You have much more ethnic differences in India than US as well. Immigration from the more "Middle Eastern" North-West India and the more "East Asian&

They aren't going to kick out elderly tourists who have been there for years, but it is a new move to encourage wealthier tourists that contribute more to jobs and the wider economy. South East Asia also know that they can't maint

But you have these types of places everywhere, all over Europe and much of Asia. You forget that much of Southern Europe and Asia has had immigration for millennia and ethnic groups from all over the world have been living beside each other

This never makes any sense to me. Have you been to any country in Southern Europe? Parts of those are akin to the Mexican border with nationalities from all over the world - for example Portugal has a half-Indian prime minister and most of

South East Asia has been against long term tourists for many years now. They want all the "families" and richer tourists who stay for a few days in expensive hotels that hire lots of local workers.

You touch on a major reason where a lot of American digital nomads fail, and that is that it takes A LOT to integrate into a foreign culture. Europeans tend to have a lot more contact with diverse cultures and are more likely to understand

In Europe and much of Asia, there is usually a core area that is very historic and very exclusive/desirable to live in, and of course by virtue it's hard to expand a historic area. These areas have been turned into a mixture of to

There are problems with tensions between locals and digital nomads in several places, especially Portugal, but also in a lot of major cities where they are having a similar effect to Airbnb. A big issue is the strength of the US dollar simp

Airbnb is also another culprit. Most major cities in Europe are suffering from the strong US dollar, Airbnb and digital nomads. Portugal and Spain are usually big draws for tourists and retirees from UK and Northern Europe, so there is some
