EL BROMANCE posted:There's been a weird whitewashing of the IRA in recent years. I remember when Burn Notice came on and one of the goodies was an ex-IRA member and it wasn't a big deal at all, and there's been something even more recent that did similar. Like, I can't imagine in 10 years time we'll have ISIS characters were supposed to be on board with. I remember this. I'm Scottish but half my family were in Belfast and the IRA were a big thing growing. The way she was presented in the show was bizarre like the IRA where some cool spec-ops military unit which they totally weren't. There was another show that had the villain as a member of the IRA who flew around the world in a private jet and was so dangerous he had to be held in a secret north Korean prison camp. There were also on that most dangerous show as if they were a proper military organisation going up against special forces and not just some guys with power tools and drugs to sell.

Bertrand Hustle posted:I'm a little behind on this, but can we go back to those "taxation is theft" guy for a second? Forget the whole "anyone who benefits for taxes is a commie" part. We'll even let him slide on "commies aren't human" for now, even though by his definition and staggering ignorance of what taxes are actually used for, that's basically everyone. The reasoning goes something like, if you refuse to pay your taxes then the IRS (Assuming they're American) will issue court proceedings against you. If you refuse to go to court, which you will because you don't believe in the IRS, then the police will come an arrest you for tax evasion. The police have guns, ergo they're stealing your money at gun point.

First they came for the Nazis, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Nazi.

Picnic Princess posted:I'm legit bothered that there's guys out there that think masturbating in front of women is okay, that it does no harm because they weren't touched. It mostly seems to be the same argument people apply to lots of things, 'You can't complain about X because Y has it much worse'. So when they're looking at thier chart of Comedian serial sex offenders they see Bill Cosby is a serial rapist so what Louis CK did is way down the chart from that so they shouldn't complain about it. They'll leap to the defence of anything thats less than the full Cosby.

Puppy Time posted:The problem for some people is that it was taught for a longass time that "they" is incorrect grammar, and that the gender-indeterminate pronoun should ALWAYS default to "he." There's the other side of the issue in which some non-binary folks don't want to be referred to as 'they' as well. Possibly because it could imply they were a group of people in certain contexts.

Deceitful Penguin posted:lol what do you think french rroma look like mate They absolutely would not be considered white in the US. The Roma are one of the most racially oppressed groups in Europe, we have segregated schools in Eastern Europe who do not lets Roma children sit near their white ones. The US is all about racial segregation and suppression so it's unbelievable they would treat gypsies as white. I could see how you could reformat the story and make Esmeralda from a trailer-park or something and make her white. But that doesn't seem to be what they were doing with their story. It's one of those ones where the characters race plays into her social standing and therefor what happens to her. I could see why people would be upset at casting a white girl in that role, the most beautiful Gypsy in all of Paris is in fact a white girl is not a great message.

Deceitful Penguin posted:No, none of the travelers are especially marginalized or suffer active racism the way they do in Europe; it's deeply loving weird how they handle the thing. I'm not saying you (as a country) are racist towards the Roma, but if you had a significant number of Roma in your country you absolutely would be. Based on literally every other non-white ethic group you have there. So you have no Roma in the US, but you want an analogue to tell Esmeralda's story then it stands to reason you would use one of the oppressed minorities you do have.

Facebook Aunt posted:In america (and canada) racism is mostly based on appearance and language/accent rather than long running cultural conflicts. So many Travellers have the opportunity for their children to fully integrate and be "white," but only if they are willing to give up visible cultural markers. The Roma also just get confused with Hispanics and Native Americans because of the dark skin and hair. Here's an interesting article about it http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/features/2011/04/20114145828641489.html
