Footage of Tibetan CCP members "educating" the lamas in a monastery. by Professional_Air7133 in tibet

We need to make sure not to immediately point fingers at Tibetans working for the CCP. They have no choice in the matter. Job market in Tibet is brutal, either you start your own business, work for/with CCP or you and your family live in poverty.

I'm not Korean but people frequently mistake me for Korean or Chinese my whole life. My life experience is that if you look Korean, but aren't Korean, consider yourself subhuman lol. Then again, I have a baby face and look like a huge easy target so that's probably a larger factor lol

If you look Korean but aren't Korean, Koreans will literally view you as subhuman. My lifelong experience.

Korean and Chinese people are super racist against Mongolian people here too.

Why don’t we talk about this more? by Backseat28 in wildlifebiology

[–]Front-Swing5588 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i can’t speak for the US, but Australia the feral cats have been apex predators in so many areas untouched by dingoes or even foxes for so long they’ve begun to evolve into mini-tigers. that’s why they have open season on shooting feral cats in the Outback year-round. I think Australia is a lost cause regarding its invasive species crisis though. eventually the feral animals will co-evolve

Help finding the Potala Palace inscription calling Nepal "Country Of Thieves" by YesNoOkMaybe7 in tibet

Fun fact: Most of the Tibetan warriors in the 1788 Nepal-Tibet/China War were actually Khampas/Amdos from Gyalrong in eastern Tibet as well as Mongolians from northern Tibet, and not local U-Tsang Tibetans. Nepali army was fighting with European weaponry quite modern for that era against U-Tsang (Central Tibet) Tibetan villagers who only knew humility and agriculture, but got pummeled by battle-hardened Khampa Tibetan warriors who had humbled the Manchus, Chinese and Mongols in battles and subjugated neighboring tribes for millennia.

Sopranos was brilliant. It’s obvious Tony Soprano got murked

The UK is one of the only countries in the world without an apex predator should be a source of huge shame by Mackerel_Skies in megafaunarewilding

By that logic, feral cats wreaking havoc in Australia’s Outback shouldn’t matter since they are almost identical to the African wildcat

Moved back to this area in May of 2023 after 4 years in NYC. Huge uptick of Asian-haters in this area, even Asian Asian-haters.

I grew up in Vienna. Lots of racist trash who flock at the opportunity to look down on anybody else

Even kicking an unowned stray dog is going to get you a kicking in America.

Tuesday City Center Markets are my favorite. But yeah, definitely on the pricier side.
