... "Anyone who says race is a believer in eguenics and that all humans aren't biologically the same! That's what people think about different dog breeds (E: = tr. dog race/hund ras)! Oh wait, different language, I forgot the word race isn't the same as ras" I'm the dumb one, I don't understand what you don't understand.

I am either confused or you are saying that in your country it is racist to acknowledge that people have different "ethnicities" altogether? Or is there a different word for "race" that is less derogatory? On a census, for example, is there no section to indicate ethnicity? Humans aren't all biologically the same. That doesn't mean the differences make them lesser or no longer human. Do doctors just give everyone the "white man" treatment or do they acknowledge that there are in fact genetic and sometimes cultural differences between humans that need to be taken into account when providing care?

A decade ago when I was under the instruction of an artist who was teaching a small class how to do art, he frequently used terms like Mongoloids, Negroids and Caucasoids when referring to the three different types of humans. Felt kind of weird, but I went with it; I figured he knew more about this sort of thing than I did. Ugh

It's just "in many European languages, they have a word that sounds like the English word 'race', but which is only ever used (politely) to refer to animal breeds". Consequently, they kept thinking that, in English, people are being turbo racist when they use the word "race", when in actuality it's just a false friend. Anyway: Tenebrais posted:

The English word "race," as in the thing racists believe in, was probably derived from the Spanish "raza," which it has been theorized developed from the word arroz, and referred to different types of rice.

I swear we were taught about this in school, except there were four I think? Australoid I think was the fourth, and it referred to the native peoples of Australia, not the European imports. I could google it, but now I'm afraid about what will come up.

Has it been taught in schools as science? Yes to both. Is it correct, scientifically justified and not made up for racist reasons? No to all three.

When I was in college in the early 2000s I had an English teacher refer to Shakespeare's "dark lady" as a "negroid" and it nearly caused a riot in the classroom there was so much agitation and immediate, confused discomfort.

It's something half remembered from a class in Massachusetts circa 2002, and I guess I had just never ever really thought about it again. I think I just filed it away as some sort of scientific classification that wasn't really applicable to the real world. Welp, I guess this is a thing I just figured out.

The German word for "next" ("nächst") is just the superlative of "nah", meaning "close" and related to the English "nigh". "next" literally just means "nighest"

I realized way too recently, like a year ago, that it’s not pronounced Ray. It always bled into “Fiennes” when I heard it so I never recognized the first f sound.

I understand that "monkey cheese" is shorthand for that kind of random comedy that was really popular in the 00s. Didn't realize until now it's a reference to an actual cartoon, created by James Rolfe. Makes perfect sense. Ugh, I hope that guy didn't turn out to be a huge poo poo; I haven't paid any attention to him in quite a while but I recall reading that he was a really decent guy. Random rear end anecdote: I bumped into him at the Portland Retro Games Expo a year or two before COVID. Literally bumped into him, we apologized to each other, and I said I recognized him from somewhere. He asked if I could remember where, and I couldn't, and we started a short kind of banter, but before we could talk more, a dozen folks identified him and swarmed us, begging for selfies. It was kind of unfortunate; he was clearly on his way out when we collided, but he was super gracious and happy to stop what he was doing to take selfies and sign things. credburn has a new favorite as of 00:24 on Sep 5, 2022 |

Only 4 episodes between 2004 and 2012, I'm pretty sure "munkey cheez" is named after the term "monkey cheese"
