Pretty common among Anglos.
But BLM being trendy is better than it being trendy to be alt-right, like it was back in 2016. Though I am seeing more of white guys coming into other leftist movements, because it's trendy, but they were Trumpers back in 2016 so I don't trust them and I don't think...
What can I say? White supremacy is pretty pervasive.
And IMO, things like self-hate and "white guilt" work to keep it in place (despite the fact that overt white supremacists hate both).
I was about to say, but deleted it, that it might be somewhat normal for certain groups of white people to...
Oh yeah this COVID-19 nonsense is a pain. I had to fix my own bathroom sink last week (after watching plumbing videos on YouTube) because I couldn't get a plumber to come to my place.
Also, had a flat tire a while back, and couldn't get roadside assistance to come... thank God I do know how to...
That’s weird. You rarely see a person with 98% anything and to see someone who’s 98% Northwestern European I think is pretty interesting.
I wonder where they are from, or where their ancestors came from specifically.
But really, what these people are displaying is not self-hate, it's racism...
Go to Namibia. I felt perfectly safe there.
Well, you have other safety issues there, that you should heed. For example the country is over 50% desert and you can get pretty sick if you don't follow the advice of the local people.
For example: Namibians drink a lot of beer, and while I like...
They do that in Africa too. Sometimes they will dangle key chains in front of you and carve your name into it, then you feel obliged to pay for it. They will start with a high price but you can talk it down. That's how they roll there, for everything. It's like buying a car, the person selling...
I've been to both Africa and Southeast Asia. Would recommend both. I liked Africa better though, because I find many parts of Southeast Asia oppressively hot. At least in Africa, you get some relief from the heat early in the morning (in Namibia, people start their work/school day earlier so...
I'd like to go to Egypt but I heard it's unsafe for women.
Paris isn't that bad. Tourist trap, yes. Expensive, yes. But it's not too bad.
As far as Europe, I wouldn't go back to Monaco. It's beautiful and I am glad I got to see it, but it seems their authorities have accommodated tourists at...
All countries are racist and sexist since there are racist and sexist people so that is not what I was getting at.
More about trade, and international alliances.
