That guy had it in for Russians, if the Victorians consider you as bad as 'Negroes' and 'Unsubdued Indians' then you're really at the bottom of the social/racial hierarchy. Also I love the dismissal of any religion he can't be bothered to learn about as 'Pagan'.

GreenCard78 posted:Maryland was chartered as a colony for Catholics. To elaborate it was founded by Catholic proprietors and at first was pretty tolerant for its time, even if Catholics were generally preferred for positions of power. Then Puritans became the majority and overthrew the government, establishing a new one which outlawed Catholicism.

The Middle East and North Africa count as White? I want to see European countries introduce this classification, our racists would have the most amazing fits.  (Also Hokkaido's apparently closer racially to Iceland than to the rest of Japan but I'm going to assume that's a map error)

PBJ posted:Technically, all of the Eastern US is under German control, being a fascist puppet and all. Adding to the various other problems Bangladesh is definitely not majority Hindu (that being the main reason it's separate from India) and the idea that Iraq is predominantly Sunni is hilarious to anyone who's looked at a news report at any point in the last decade.

GreenCard78 posted:Not sure how it works abroad but yes, North Africans, Arabs, people from the Middle East are all white according to the US Census. In Britain at least 'Arab' is a separate ethnicity for official purposes, I'd assume it's the same in European countries that categorise such things. Shows how nebulous the concept of race is but it really boils down to immigration from North Africa and the Middle East being a boogeyman in Europe in a way that it isn't in the US. A lot of it has to do with the fact that they're Muslim and are therefore a threat to Are Christian Heritage but there's definitely a sense that they're different from white Europeans.

This seems to be a blind spot with the UN's decolonisation process. Obviously colonialism is bad and all but what do you do when the population doesn't want to be 'decolonised'? Apparently you declare that they're wrong and they should be forced to become part of another country against their will in the name of freedom. Here's a 19th Century French writer's vision of how Europe would look in the 20th Century.

DrProsek posted:Ahhh, Our FPTP system means it's incredibly hard for new parties to get anywhere (the Greens have one seat but they had to throw most of their resources at that one IIRC and they're nowhere near a breakthrough anywhere else). It's poo poo but the upside is that a BNP constituency was never very likely even at their height and since 2010 they've more or less fallen apart tothe point where they're planning to collect and sell scrap metal to stay afloat. far-right even if they're not necessarily fascist.

. Well at least it's good to hear there's no BNP constituencies; I know they're a fringe group anyway but when I see black on an electoral map I think far-right.
