:agreed: and also no one over the age of 65 can run for any office.

dead serious. either that or weight votes by age, i.e. the younger the vote the more power it has since they have longer to live with the consequences. something like average life expectancy - voter age multiplier.

So apparently this dude claims to have spread AIDS during apartheid through fake clinics

https://twitter.com/carolecadwalla/status/1089450349646221313

Which, tbf, sounds about white. Imo black people should take over every private property owned by white people in SA.

But look at how NYTimes reports it

It's almost certainly fantastical. Of course. They wouldn't do that.

It's actually curious that here in Portugal saying black is actually the offensive way to refer to people with dark skin, whereas "negro" is the non-offensive way to say it. Black just comes off much more agressive in portuguese. That has made for some discussions with some friends with regards to how americans talk.

Yes that sounds reasonable. Native is not a great way to say it as well though, so, Africans? People of african descent?

That makes sense, black people seems to work fine in my neck of the woods. "The blacks" is not a good thing to say. Live and learn.

African descent is good too. Basically don't de-emphasize people's humanity though language is the key.

Also, a quick guess why this is this way - yes, the portuguese slave owners never adopted the n word to refer to slaves, opting by "black". Exactly the same thing, but with the opposite words.

That makes sense, it would be odd if you were someone who said "blacks" knowingly and also posted in CSPAM.

yeah reducing humanity via linguistic manipulation is bad. the jews, the blacks, the japs, whatever, all have a direct depersonalization and more nounification racist intent behind them. but refering them to people is fine as long as adjective word is not distinctly and obvious racistally-charged and connected from past historic usages like jap. the negro/black case is that as well, it has a distinct and obvious racially charged historical usage to say "negros" as a slave object or subclass in america, like negro people is still not OK in america because of it's past usage by white america. this is very much more a local nuance and will vary by country so yeah faux passes on that are tricky.

african-european or african-america is ok but often feels like NPR shitlibs trying too hard to come off as totallynotracist because not all are african or associate with africa and it's then forcefully being attributed by whites then. but idk how actually people feel about that, i just don't like it.
