Jackard posted:Isn't Sweden pretty racist though? I'd not really hold it against them. They (and the rest of Scandinavia) are extremely homogenous. It takes living among signifigant amounts of other races/ethnicities to forment integration and assimiliation. To them, immigrants from the Middle East are utterly foreign and incompatible, with a seemingly hostile religion and culture. While these things are objectively negative, they're to be expected. It will take generations of proper integration before Arabs are considered "swedish". It'd be like any one of us moving to China or Japan and expecting to fit right in...it's not going to happen. By contrast, America (and to a lesser extent, the UK and Australia) has no excuse, as we've been a melting pot of ethnicities from the beginning. Particularly in regards to African American and Hispanic peoples, who are to this day treated like garbage by the American right, and not much better by the American left, outside of areas they govern themselves.

blue squares posted:People in racially homogeneous countries haven't had as many opportunities to interact with people of other ethnicities, and so they tend to be more racist Oh sure, it's just like my home state of Wisconsin. I'm visiting my grandparents this week and oh boy, I'm fairly certain that before joining the Navy my grandfather had never seen someone that wasn't white or american indian - and my grandmother? Don't get her started on that black in the white house. As we watch this political cycle unfold, I have to explain to my dad at times, who is very open to new ideas but laden with preconceived notions based on his lack of exposure and upbringing, just why his thought on race relations is a bit off kilter.

Yeah but white people who live in majority-minority areas are just as likely to start in with the "you just don't know how they are" and that you can't understand that blacks are filthy animals that need looking after unless you've lived amongst them and witnessed their savage ways. I think people are just terrible maybe? I dunno.

FAUXTON posted:Unfortunately the solidly lovely part of Florida is primarily inland and the gulf coast. Not that there aren't poop enclaves along the Atlantic coast, but a lot of the larger/older cities have been pretty socially progressive due to their early status as safe zones for what amounts to LGBT internally displaced persons whose lives would be in danger in most other places (at the time - it's only some places now). Florida is also one of the largest parts of the beef industry as its year long warm weather and plentiful feed and thus safe to let cows make more cows year round. Any loss of land in that area is an immediate hit to some of the east coast's food production, but hey. gently caress if Rubio cares about his own home turf.

The fact that you live in a sundown town and never interact with black people doesn't excuse you being a huge racist. A sundown town and an actual country with a long history of it's own culture, wars, triumphs and sacrifices are apples and oranges. Who are you to tell the Japanese people, in Japan, that they need to accept more foreigners into their already crowded country?

Actually I can't think of any country that is fine on race issues. It seems every single part of the world that I can picture the culture of - the UK, USA, France, Germany, Russia, China, India, Australia, Japan, Brazil, the entire Middle East - are all profoundly racist to the core. It seems to be a general human condition more than a consequence of any particular cultural upbringing. Canada? Are they cool?? Boing fucked around with this message at 16:02 on Mar 11, 2016 |

Boing posted:Canada? Are they cool?? I listened to the then-boyfriend of a (canadian) friend of my wife rant on and on last fall about how horrible race issues in the states are and that the states are the last holdout of racism in the world and on and on. No, shut the gently caress up, read about the Eurozone right now, and get off that high horse. You've either confronted and beaten the poo poo out of your own sub-surface racial tendencies or you have literally no idea what you are talking about. Every single young adult book you read in high school or middle school on race tries to beat it into your skull some basic facts: "THIS IS SOMETHING WE ARE ALL LIABLE TO DO OR THINK. DO NOT ASSUME YOU ARE ABOVE RACIAL PREJUDICE." "YOU ARE HUMAN AND THUS NOT FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT FROM SLAVEOWNERS OF A DIFFERENT TIME OR THOSE COMPLACENT WITH SLAVERY FROM A DIFFERENT TIME." Meanwhile, in Europe, racially homogeneous entities are freaking the gently caress out because dark people are coming to their shores requesting food and shelter.

A cultural issue with making sex a taboo, mixed with a work culture that borders on the insane. If they can fix their economic problem and stop treating young people who don't score highly on the soul crushing placement tests they have like unemployable garbage, they might see people having sex and making families again. It's difficult to imagine a family if you can't get a job. WHOOPS posted:Those are Dixiecrats.

Epic High Five posted:Oh yeah, and it was specifically in response to the mayor of Miami's concerns too. Pourous bedrock causing the water supply that your entire city requires to become contaminated with salt water? Staring down the barrel of losing like half a mile of coast line? It was even better than that, the question was straight up "The mayor of Miami is begging you to recognize that this thing that is definitely going to happen is in fact real. Will you lie to this man for 2 god drat seconds?" And he didn't. He started off with "well the climate has always been changing, guys!" and then continued with "have you ever thought that maybe the land is sinking because Florida was built on a swamp? It makes u think". I blacked out from the spike in my blood pressure, so I can only assume that he finished it off with some platitudes about how coal gets a bad rap and is actually good for the environment.
