There is some work that suggests it's more complicated than that. quote:Consider the rhetoric of white supremacy. White supremacists know about the humanity of Jews and black people and whoever else they’re discriminating against — and it terrifies them. One of their slogans is, “You will not replace us.” Think of what that means. That’s not what you chant if you thought they were roaches or subhuman. That’s what you chant at people you’re really worried about, people who you think are a threat to your status and way of life.

You know, for years I thought a NSWR was just a normal nuclear-thermal rocket that used saltwater as reaction mass for some reason. I recently looked it up and holy poo poo, it's so much scarier than I thought.

Assuming anyone underneath heard it and had 1-2 seconds to jump out the way, and the people on top didn't fall for long enough to build up enough speed for fatal injuries. There was also nothing big directly above the people on the walkway that fell on them which I guess helped Applebee123 fucked around with this message at 00:56 on Jan 16, 2018 |

It was an endless parade of this that has left my mother quietly unsettled around Asian folk, especially in elevators. She was six In December 1941. She knows that it is entirely irrational. She’s worked on it her entire life.

My grandpa never trusted Asians either. He would never be rude or use slurs, but he was a ranger in Korea. One of those fun times we got involved in someone else's civil war and our boys could never be quite sure who the was the enemy. I imagine that does gently caress you up. He didn't tell me much about the war but he did talk several times about calling in fire support from the battleship Missouri. Said the shells looked like boxcars going over your head and looked close enough that he felt like he could've reached up and touched them. The Turkish contingent in the UN forces there made a big impression on him too. His attitude was basically like, man I wouldn't gently caress with those guys. Funny enough the wound that sent him home came from when he was on R&R. They were playing baseball when a mortar attack came in and everybody dived in the same hole, so his foot was still sticking out. So there's your OSHA. Need bigger foxholes.

Not sure how I missed hearing about this: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-42680945 Suezmax tanker collides with a freighter, burns, floats around for a week and then explodes and sinks. Whole crew (32) is killed. If only it had had 6001 hulls.

Well at least it was towed beyond the environment. Nothing out there but sea and birds and fish. And 136,000 tonnes of burning crude oil.

It's really light stuff, basically pretty similar to gasoline. It's not gonna stick around like crude can.
