i think its weird and hosed up that the us census classifies arabs and other swarthy persons as white

Arabs don't fall into the Negroid or Mongoloid race. You can also piss off SJWs by suggesting that people from Mexico and/or Spain are white.

It really is.

Gates had a good bit in his memoirs about the incident where the Chinese just so happened to perform the first flight of the J-20 when he was visiting the country. He played it cool and during a meeting with Hu Jintao in front of a bunch of functionaries he asks something along the lines of "I've heard that your government has chosen my visit to perform the first flight of a new fighter aircraft. Since I will be asked about the significance of this upon my return to my country, what advice would you give me on how to respond to those questions?"

Cue a massive deer in the headlights look followed by several minutes of hushed conversation between Hu, his entourage, and the generals that were in the room. The response was something along the lines of "it was a pre-planned 'scientific' test that had nothing to do with your visit," but Gates makes it pretty clear that Hu and the civilians in the room had no idea the military was planning to perform the flight. While it's probably unreasonable to expect a head of state to necessarily be aware of the exact scheduling of a test flight of a fighter, the PLA is either too clueless to realize the diplomatic implications of such an action or is completely okay with pursuing a separate diplomatic policy than the rest of the Chinese government.

Either conclusion is worrisome.

I was over in Asia when the Chinese war plan against the US made the news and it talked about how we rely too much on technology and they'd use EMP to cripple us. I guess it was bigger in the news over there because I was trying to find more in the US news when I got back and I had trouble looking it up.

I thought that was more worrisome.

Not trolling and I assume you didn't bother reading it.

Caucasoid as a biological classification remains in use, particularly within the field of forensic anthropology.

We had to change how we track race based on some new rules from the feds, so I got to learn all about these classifications of race. Just stating anything about this sort of stuff to people that don't know better seems to flip them out.

And once again, Mr. Obama ignores the calls of his allies when they come under attack. How many more countries countries will he ignore? I recall the talk radio shows saying if Obama was elected that other nations would put him to the test shortly after he's elected. That time is now and so far Syria, Russia, and the mighty ISIS have rolled over our mighty reptilian muslim president.

I'd vote to just let them run things as they want and if a neighboring country doesn't like it, they'll do something about it. Let them hire from our security firms if they want someone from the US over there.

If we actually have a reason to send military over there, go in hard and finish hard but that's a stupid idea when we can half rear end things instead over and over.

A briss is a little more savage than a clinical circumcision, but it's still in the ballpark of piercing your kid's ears, and it's nothing like FGM which is backwoods (backdesert?) medicine's best attempt at chopping off as much as possible that could give a woman pleasure from sex while (usually) still letting them bear children. Traditional Jewish circumcision doesn't remove the appeal of sex for the man at all; we depend on Jewish women for that.

Getting off topic, but the Euroleft idea of banning male circumcision is not exactly separable from the anti-Semitic tendencies in said slice (!) of the spectrum

Ear piercing minus a dude sucking on the ear after it's done. Slight difference.
