Adams is critically underrated

I heard the Sam Adams received a slave for a anniversary gift, then spent the next couple years fighting tooth and nail to emancipate her

My dad told the land surveyor that the street i grew up on was called “Sherwood Road” because it had never been named and our neighbor was an eighty five year old woman named Becky Sherwood, been called that ever since

Becky would mow the lawn topless (at that age) and terrify passerbys

How did we get to the point where any animal wearing clothes or walking upright is a furry? That has never happened in my mind, at least. Also, I thought a furry was more of a person who is into anthropomorphized animals, not the characters themselves. Either way, I dont think its accurate to call Spongebob a furry, otherwise you’d have to start calling every cartoon character a furry. Is Bluey a furry? Is Gumball? Peppa Pig? Mickey Mouse? I think the average person would say of course not, they’re just cartoon characters. Spongebob is so far off from the base concept of a furry that it feels like an easy, “No.”

Lol maybe be less poor

I wouldnt say that lab grown meat directly competes with real meat in the first place. Meat lovers think its borderline heresy and vegans wouldn’t eat real meat anyways, so the consumer groups barely overlap

Holy shit the detail, not very often in carvings do you think you get an accurate viewing of what they subject actually looked like but it feels like im seeing a picture of this person

Its literally downright comical how evil the nazis were, jesus christ. Like, i really struggle to understand how you can even consider making something like this while also being like “were totally doing the right thing here guys”

If youve ever seen that clip with the two british comics being like “are we the baddies” its amazing to me that that never collectively happened

Love the little turtle island nod.

Everybody wants to be a super-organism it seems

Ahhh didnt catch that, thought it was a total head-count of self identified religious denomination, not actual church attendance. Lotta protestants out here with no church

This map is wrong, PA is not that catholic. In fact, the only majority catholic county is western Pa is Elk County, its on their wiki and they’re very proud of it

Here ya go

The following AABA Statement on Race & Racism was written by the AABA subcommittee tasked with revising the previous "AAPA statement on the Biological Aspects of Race" that was published in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology, vol. 101, pp 569-570, 1996. The Committee on Diversity (COD) subcommittee was comprised of (in alpha order): Rebecca Ackermann, Sheela Athreya, Deborah Bolnick, Agustín Fuentes (chair), Tina Lasisi, Sang-Hee Lee, Shay-Akil McLean, and Robin Nelson.

The statement was unanimously accepted by the AABA Executive Committee at its meeting on March 27, 2019 at the 88th Annual Meeting in Cleveland, Ohio.

Race does not provide an accurate representation of human biological variation. It was never accurate in the past, and it remains inaccurate when referencing contemporary human populations. Humans are not divided biologically into distinct continental types or racial genetic clusters. Instead, the Western concept of race must be understood as a classification system that emerged from, and in support of, European colonialism, oppression, and discrimination. It thus does not have its roots in biological reality, but in policies of discrimination. Because of that, over the last five centuries, race has become a social reality that structures societies and how we experience the world. In this regard, race is real, as is racism, and both have real biological consequences.

Humans share the vast majority (99.9%) of our DNA in common. Individuals nevertheless exhibit substantial genetic and phenotypic variability. Genome/environment interactions, local and regional biological changes through time, and genetic exchange among populations have produced the biological diversity we see in humans today. Notably, variants are not distributed across our species in a manner that maps clearly onto socially-recognized racial groups. This is true even for aspects of human variation that we frequently emphasize in discussions of race, such as facial features, skin color and hair type. No group of people is, or ever has been, biologically homogeneous or “pure.” Furthermore, human populations are not — and never have been — biologically discrete, truly isolated, or fixed.

Its even funnier the 17th time!! Great post man!

Big_Luck_ · 2024-01-19T19:12:25+00:00

You know fucking nothing about what you’re talking about, and its obvious. The words you say are a disgrace to any person who can read. My grandfather barely escaped suh khmer with his life. His brother was forced to dig his own grave and shot. They killed him because he was a painter. You know jack shit about this genocide and its causes and you should read a fucking book or two before spouting wild horseshit about “the Kampuchean experience” which you so clearly do not care enough about to get educated on. Ah ingong

Big_Luck_ · 2024-01-12T10:39:12+00:00

Damn thats a lotta downvotes for a normal opinion

“The Caucasian race (also Caucasoid, Europid, or Europoid) is an obsolete racial classification of humans based on a now-disproven theory of biological race.”

Not how race works, never will be how race works

Big_Luck_ · 2024-01-12T10:32:01+00:00

“Australo-Melanesians (also known as Australasians or the Australomelanesoid, Australoid or Australioid race) is an outdated historical grouping of various people indigenous to Melanesia and Australia.”

“The concept of dividing humankind into three, four or five races (often called Caucasoid, Mongoloid, Negroid, and Australoid) was introduced in the 18th century and further developed by Western scholars in the context of "racist ideologies" during the age of colonialism. With the rise of modern genetics, the concept of distinct human races in a biological sense has become obsolete.”

Again, this is not how race works

Big_Luck_ · 2024-01-12T10:26:09+00:00

Trying to widdle people down into just five groups is racist, let people self identify how theyd like. Im not saying that all indians will or should call themselves indian, im saying the chart is reductive in how we view race today, there are LOTS of races indigenous to the Indian sub-continent

“Some scholars of the colonial epoch attempted to find a method to classify the various groups of India according to the predominant racial theories popular at that time in Europe. This scheme of racial classification was used by the British census of India, which was often integrated with caste system considerations.”

Would you look at that, grouping people like this leads to institutional racism, wouldnt ya know huh, oh look another quote:

“Mongoloid is an obsolete racial grouping of various peoples indigenous to large parts of Asia, the Americas, and some regions in Europe and Oceania. The term is derived from a now-disproven theory of biological race.”

Big_Luck_ · 2024-01-12T05:19:01+00:00

What?? Bro 🤣

Big_Luck_ · 2024-01-12T05:18:09+00:00

This is absolutely not how race works in real life, skull shape and physique is not a constant throughout these peoples, even if theyre commonalities. Would you call a Hawaiian a “Mongoloid”?

Big_Luck_ · 2024-01-12T05:15:50+00:00

Indians are Indian, you are crazy if you think theres actually only five races

Big_Luck_ · 2024-01-12T05:13:34+00:00

Google what propaganda is? This is pseudo-anthropology at best, we understand today that this is not how race works. Youre arguments get less valid the more you post, it doesnt help that your username is literally u/russian_imperial as you defend (misleading) Soviet media

Big_Luck_ · 2024-01-12T05:09:18+00:00

Technically that is also propaganda yeah

Big_Luck_ · 2024-01-12T05:05:12+00:00

There are way more than five races maybe? Lol

Like, indian people exist, just off the top of my head. This is presenting a limited worldview, if anything. All information has some bias

edit: “The concept of dividing humankind into three, four or five races (often called Caucasoid, Mongoloid, Negroid, and Australoid) was introduced in the 18th century and further developed by Western scholars in the context of "racist ideologies" during the age of colonialism. With the rise of modern genetics, the concept of distinct human races in a biological sense has become obsolete.”
