in the interest of getting people to read cool comics

sex criminals is a book about two people who feel alone who meet and fall in love and realize that they're not alone after all, and then they use their power to stop time by cumming to rob a bank and poo poo goes downhill for them from then on

bitch planet is a women in prison story, in space

southern bastards starts out being a Walking Tall type story complete with big stick and it quickly turns into a story about fathers and sons and crime and football in a little southern town. jason aaron is real good at this kind of story, check out scalped for something similar set on a reservation

ok yes there are various minority groups that exist in both countries, but they are very very very small in number, even if accounting for government fuckery. japan being ethnically and culutrally largely the same is far from a contentious fact, and again, china has been largely han for a very very very long time.

10% a smattering of other ethnicities is definitely monoethnic, i dunno how you could look at a country that's 90% mostly one group and 10% everyone else (this includes dozens and dozens of ethnicities) and be like "yep that sure aint ethnically homogenous! :downs:"

at that level in any country where people are able to readily visit large cosmopolitan centres you're not in a situation where foreigners are a total novelty or where people have never seen them before. China of course has still a very static agricultural population so there are still a lot of people who haven't got experience with foreigners

but china historically has been very well networked to surrounding states and further afield

there's no way you can try to argue china is racist because it's monoethnic when there are plenty of minorities, and there used to be many more

idk what your definition of a monoethnic society is but that's not mine

there definitely was a long stretch of history where america was 'monoethnic' by my standards, yes, and this definitely contributed to its race problems

1 in 10 black people doesnt really mean all that much when they're very concentrated in only certain areas and the rest of the country is basically lilly white

personally I just think it's hilarious that like 80% of China's current land area has been, is being, or is slated to be ethnically cleansed by the han. the only areas that were originally han chinese were the half of China Proper north of the Yangtze

if anything the problem with japan and china is that it's one of their national myths that they have the country to themselves, they believe it despite all evidence to the contrary in plain view. it's a way of ignoring the messy nation building that went on in the past and continues to go on.

you have to factor in that the han have basically managed to inculcate a joint han identity on people who different languages and are culturally very different from eachother as well

china is still doing poo poo european countries were doing to themselves in the mid 1800s in terms of introducing a unified language and monoculture

pointing out that the country is largely made up of one ethnicity =/= denying the existence of other ethnicities

its just pointing out that the country's largely made up of one ethnicity

this is a dumb argument but I think you have a slightly wonky idea of how racism in China works

it's a lot more to do with racial founding myths and poo poo like that, and how china has historically seen itself as the worlds central and greatest power and the way that the han have historically steamrolled other peoples

the only thing ive argued is that china and japan are largely made up of a single ethnic group, ive not said much on how racism works in there. thats you extrapolating from me pulling up demographics and saying "yep its mostly one kind of people and that gives some insight into why they react poorly towards people not the same ethnicity as them"

exposure to people outside your ethnicity goes a long way to combating racist stereotypes of them, that's not all that a contentious thing to assert

i think you have a wonky idea of how racism works in general

japan isn't racist because it's a monoculture so much as it's a monoculture because it's racist

japanese people have been thinking ill of their fellow asians for centuries and their refusal to allow migration, that they desperately need, is a continuation of that historic trend

china is growing more monoethnic all the time because centuries old historic trends of cultural imperialism are still at work and have been at work for a long time

this poo poo is not new, and in fact the countries have become more monodimensional because of historic attitudes to their minorities and neighbours

So far two political parties in Germany have voted to put the legalization of weed on their agenda for the next election.

Even though I am sometimes disappointed by politics there are often times I think where you have to step back and think about how far we have come along since the last war.

Especially now that the war generation is dieing out, you really have to appreciate that we are becoming a more and more liberal society. Remember that honosexuality was illegal just 20 years ago in Germany and that smoking weed was seen as the definite road to hard core drugs. We were living in perpetual fear of being attacked by the Soviet Union and Germany was still divided with a wall preventing Germans from travelling.

Even with all this poo poo going on right now I still think we have gone a long way and mostly for the better.

Sometimes we should really sit back and just appreciate that we are living in a union with mostly sensible rules, where things work most of the time and trains are only 5 minutes late. Let's look on the bright side for a moment.

But gently caress yeah we're legalising weed, a sure sign we are experiencing the steamroller of progress levelling everything that could stand in its way. Well, as long as you can afford it anyway.
