Canada does very much have Black people, it's had them for a long time, and one of the best Twitter follows on the subject of Black history in Canada, particularly western Canada, is actually an Edmontonian: @BashirMohamed

We're so racist up here that we basically just ignore that Black people are a part of our history (and our present) entirely.

There is barely a million black people in all of canada. The blackest canadian city is 4% black. Even if everyone is the exact same amount of racist, it is gonna just come up less. It's like how there is no way in hell that the US wouldn't be as racist as possible towards romani people, but with them making up like 0.2% of the population it just never is as much of a pressing social issue.

In the old world the racism tends to be less racial and more ethnic. Identical looking communities with huge complex hatreds toward eachother.
They also like to insist and pretend they aren't identical looking, but I think that's more the influence of post-1900's scientific racism than anything else.

Australia is very racist and America is also very racist. I don't buy the claim that Australia is 'obviously 100x worse'.

They have racisms that are anachronistic in the US by this point, like Mediterranean white people are not quite on the in there.

Yeah, I lived on Vancouver Island for a bit. After crabbing with a friend, her dad asked how many "Asian derogatory term" were on the pier. Also, the town I lived in had a game to guess how many First Nations citizens were walking across the bridge. I was pretty shocked on both counts even after I realized that BC was full of rednecks too.

Like if you ask an american antisemite what is wrong with jewish people they will start their explanation with them being a race that XYZ, if you talk to a european one it'll dive more quickly into nationalist reasoning. Like there isn't a real difference in the list in the end of what reasons people give, but the order they will be given is different. Like give it time and america absolutely will come up with the idea Obama is a kenyan first and an american second, and do the birth certificate crap but that sort of thing is the first place a lot of the world goes right into while america will dive right in swinging giving garbage claimed properties races have while a lot of other countries will get to that stuff after they say their nationalist/ethnic/linguistic stuff.

I'll never understand this threads obsession with searching twitter for hours looking for A Dumb Take from The Other Side and then breathlessly running into the thread and pretending that "Someone said something dumb on twitter" is meaningful or important.

Ban Twitter links IMO. If one of the 50 billion news sites can't bother to write an article about it then it probably doesn't matter.

There have been a number of fairly obvious attempts to jumpstart Chelsea Clinton's prospective media/politics career since her mom ate poo poo. She also decided to condemn Ilhan Omar's "antisemitism" in a fairly tone-deaf way. Then she showed up at a vigil as part of yet another attempt to throw herself into the limelight, and the people there told her to gently caress right off and leave.
So centrist dem twitter unleashed the winemom hordes to defend their precious warhawk aristocrat.

This all being preparation for Chelsea to run in 2020 is the big twist we don't deserve.

I find it galling that governments around the world still continue to allow the sale/use training of weapons which have one design, to kill other people.

I understand the ones that have a hunting purpose, that's different, those people actually use those guns. Generally, usually, on hunting. For me it seems to be the perplexing issue of, why buy something that has a very specific use without ever using it. It's human nature to want to use it, you've bought it, considered what it does. They don't buy them because they're all secretly super engineers who appreciate the solid engineering of this mass death machine. It's because someday they're going to not be able to resist trying it out.

Can you imagine buying a crockpot, but you never use it, you tell people about it, it's a major hobby even, you show people when they come over. Go over it's uses and settings and poo poo. But hey, it's not going to get used. As somebody who has bought games for collecting purposes I even know that when it's the only copy I have, I can sit there and mull over opening it. I no longer even collect to that degree, I just open it and play the goddamn thing. But a gun that's sole purpose is to wound/maim/kill other people, then there is only one kind of mulling that has to occur. I guarantee that just owning a non-hunting gun that never gets used causes all sorts of psychosis to bubble forth.

So it's really sad to see governments either shrug or vehemently defend the right to have their constituents boil a personal mental illness around murder.
