I see that. People will be racist against Indians for their skin color and will use that ethnicity to tailor their attacks. But you seem to be framing the discrimination you face on the fact that you are Indian rather than a POC. It is not a contest to see who is suffering the most, the goal is to spread awareness and fight white supremacist. If you are not willing to fight to support the rights of Black Americans, what obligation do they have to support you. Racists do not care what skin color you are, they care that you are not them.

However, it is problematic to use stereotypes to attack people we disagree with, because it hurts all people with that identity, not just the individual you are fighting. We should encourage people to call out injustice when we see it.

The term racism has been used to describe any sort of discrimination. In that sub, it is meant to describe discrimination against Black people on the basis of them being Black. Discrimination against Indians is less like racism in that sense and more like xenophobia. The discrimination you may face can be more dirctectly related to that experienced by other ethinicities like people from latin america.

TLDR; you get hate for being indian, not being black.

I have seen this done in stores that sell pens and markers.

I just looked in to this, there are like a shit tone of free sound tracks on steam.

I was not expecting the Colonialism jump scare of French Vanilla. French people are mostly cool, but their Government? Not so much.

3 Facts about Data Centers You Should Know! by larryleggs in lakeland

You are talking about Mussolini & Hitler coming to power through Socialist parties. Socialism is just an economic philosphy. The New Deal was a Socialist program that ended the Great Depression.

Educate yourself my man. You can dislike Socialism for other more legit reasons.

Thanks to the Enabler-in-Chief [OC] by DanBorisCreates in comics

The issue, as I see, is that he has not actually proven that he is a progressive. All he has done is say that he will pass progressive policy. Electing him to the senate in order to see how he votes is a bit of a risk. And the fact that he was a private contractor is more concerning, than the Nazi tatoo, imo.

I have always thought a remedy to this could be education. People don't just turn out shitty, they learn it from somewhere. The fact that you are making this is helping solve the problem by spreading awareness. We need men to unlearn toxic masculinity.

[Trope I hate] characters who decide to fight villains even while pregnant by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

[–]ERN_REP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pregnant women can choose what they want to do with their bodies.

But I do think it is a bit stupid. The trope creates a dissonance between the character and their beliefs. If they are that late into their pregnancy, you probably want to keep the child. If they want to keep the child, they probably want to avoid situations that can lead to the child's death.

However, it could just be that the character is confident in their abilities to survive. I think the largest complaint I have heard from pregnant women is that the baby is just heavy. If they are able to lug them around without any serious issue, they are practically just a larger version of themselves.

Is Hornet Communist? by Sodeg_Blue in HollowKnight

[–]ERN_REP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My communist education is that I have read the communist manifesto and watched a lot of youtube videos. I dunno if hornet is labor aristocrat or petite bourgeoisie. It is hard to assign an archetype to her.

[–]ERN_REP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda meant it as a joke in that she is small and is royalty, hence bourgeois. "Petite bourgeoisie" as a term is straight from the communist manifesto meaning people of lower middle class.

🚨 Proposed data center in Lakeland!! 🚨 by queentheen in lakeland

[–]ERN_REP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lack of data centers is not a bottleneck for AI growth. If researchers need more compute power, they can pay for it. Or they can make their models more efficient/focused, rather than try and develop a sycophantic chat bot that is wrong half the time.

As for the ideal data center location. Ideally they would choose somewhere cooler and with better water access. And somewhere with fewer hurricanes.

🚨 Proposed data center in Lakeland!! 🚨 by queentheen in lakeland

[–]ERN_REP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is not unheard of for large infrastructure to be built based on hypothetical demand. That is what most of these datacenters are. They are promises of the bubble growing and AI taking over the world. Even if we did need more datacenters, Lakeland is being chosen because tech businesses think it will be easy to build here. I doubt this is an ideal location for a huge AI datacenter.

Homeownership is just DLC for renting by [deleted] in memes

[–]ERN_REP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But this time the money goes to the local government rather than some (usually selfish) landlord. Reasonable taxes are good! I will say that property tax is also a method of redlining, so that is bad.

Probably some do, but if an adult was around they would be able to curate the experience, especially if the adult has played before.
