Lol. I know. And don't worry, I still love Hanover despite his arseovertits whackbackassvilIe ideas. I got another good example though. In Northern Ir...
(And what makes positive discrimination towards Jews with regard to the establishment of a Jewish homeland from the pre-WW2 Balfour declaration on pot...
I think they should have been given the land as they were. But they didn't stumble on it, they were actively helped as you know. And it was positive d...
I'm not going to defend the video as I didn't post it. Anyhow, I'd rather just see straightforward arguments too. And videos used as evidence or demon...
The more you write about this, the more you keep stuffing grenades in your shorts. And I wish you were reading @"T Clark" as charitably as I'm trying ...
On second watch, you're right, I misinterpreted the vid somewhat. Skipped through too quickly the first time, and the crappy music put me off. It focu...
Don't put words in my mouth. The video is consistent with there still being widespread discrimination. That's consistent with claims made by me, T Cla...
So, what was the point? You show me the video, I agree with the sentiment, and you tell me I have no stake in it? We all have a stake in it in so far ...
@"Hanover" Thinking about it, I guess we should separate out discrimination in action as I did in my own definition from feelings and affinities. In t...
You implied earlier you discriminate, in terms of how much you like people, based on their race (you like your own kind more even though you don't dis...
When you go to the trouble of doing your own study, you can choose whatever words you want. I don't have any reason to doubt them on their phrasing he...
Sometimes. Anyway, links are notoriously unreliable. I remember the time Thorongil accidentally posted a link that led to a sickening porn image. Some...
Here'a an anecdote from Thailand. When I was applying for my visa extension, immigration came to our home to do some checks. They took a look at me, a...
Yes, and that's backed up by the evidence. I was hoping for some kind of meaningful debate from those who think that's not true but it never materiali...
Out of curiosity, I looked up the Starbucks thing myself. Can't find any witnesses who said the men did anything wrong, and one witness (who also took...
I agree with this part. The over-arching problem is inequality. But that's getting worse not better, so I'm not as optimistic as you are about the sit...
But the evidence, which I provided, in the form of data from studies by some of your top institutions suggest there is. I have yet to see any evidence...
Well, I didn't fully agree with @"T Clark"'s estimation of the situation. I said I thought it was overstated. I thought he was misinterpreted though a...
Where did I do that? And what I said about the Starbucks story, where there were differing accounts, for example, was that I agree with Erik, I don't ...
Ok, all's I say is that in my like/dislike scorebook, folks don't get extra points for being the same colour as me. And the idea that they should is w...
@"ArguingWAristotleTiff" Just to relate this to what @"Hanover" was saying. I would argue that his concept of affinity (liking more) and @"T Clark"'s ...
(As in if you trust me more than Michael because I'm white and Michael is black that's just a lower level of racism than if you actively distrust Mich...
The whole basis of liking more or less or disliking seems wrong though when it's about race. Isn't that the more important point than the level of lik...
If you mean to extend that to white vs black people then you are saying you trust, like and respect white people more than black people. I'm not tryin...
