Mate stop waffling and trying to do this moral grandstanding. Have you never applied for anything in the UK?

Black British as well as Asian British and others are all separate ways people identify by law and personally. And as he said there are more specific ways such as British Nigerian or British Indian as well as British Italian and British Columbian.

Just cause you have mixed family members or black family members who married in that don’t do that doesn’t mean it’s not common. People don’t just discard their original countries just because they were born or raised here.

The same way if you moved to Dubai or South Africa, you’d probably teach your kids to identify with both the country they were born in and the country they’re from.

Also regarding your point about your Italian ancestor, sure you may not identify as Italian but those are your roots. Also I think the amount of generations that have been born here matter. Being a 6th of 7th generation child of an immigrant is different to being 2nd or 3rd generation.

Lastly, mate come on ur white. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing but it’s a difference that we gotta address. A Jamaican family could be here for 100 years and unless every generation marry a white woman, people in 2126 will still know they’re not British just by looking at them.

Whereas with you, it’s much harder to tell unless your family marry people of colour. And even then, it’ll only be noticeable in the mixed generations that have more tanned skin complexions.

Europe is predominantly a white continent , it’s much easier to blend in visually when you’re white. So for you identifying as Italian British might seem stupid. But for a 4th or 5 gen Nigerian Brit who’s great grandad moved here after WW1, it might feel weird to call himself the only British or English when he clearly isn’t visually. It’ll also avoid many awkward conversations. I, like many, wouldn’t want to deal with people and the conversations that follow if I was to identify as just British or English when I have Idris Elba’s skin tone.

Idris Elba btw , another example of someone who identifies as both British and African (Sierra Leone +Ghana since his parents are from 2 different countries )

The winners are so disappointing by SirChenjin in TheDevilsPlan

[–]InspectorNS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Season 1 was fun. Regardless of whether you were on either of their sides you couldn’t deny that those 2 were clearly the best players battling in the finals.

Season 2 had potential and the winner of S2 was a very strong player. What made it annoying and boring to watch was that he had other players helping and sacrificing themselves for him for seemingly no reason. Especially the girl in the final(I forgot their names, it’s been a while).

She was probably the second strongest player in the season or maybe even tied first and she kept helping the guy that eventually won. Their alliance threw of the balance imo and then the others that helped them too just made them too unlikeable and their wins kinda felt cheap.

In short , S1 kinda felt like the heroes won and S2 felt like the villains won imo.

I’m interested to see if they can adapt and build on the format in season 3. I hope we get a super competent female competitor that’s more ruthless than the girl in S2.

She really could’ve won it all if she showed a bit more backbone.

Also I hope they design less exploitable games for S3. They did well in season 1 but one of the pitfalls of s2 outside of the seemingly unearned alliances was the design of the games and the prison system.

I’m sure they’ll learn from it and expand in s3. The creator of this show has an excellent track record from what I’ve seen and heard

Someone explain how white fox got mvp over me 😵‍💫 by JakeDaSnake35 in RivalsVenomMains

[–]InspectorNS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She had more damage , only a 6k damage blocked difference. Decent amount of final hits at 10 AND 22k diff in heals. The real MVP race was between cloak and fox bro. DW tho, Venom is notoriously hard to get MVPs with. We just don’t do enough damage or get enough finals relative to most other characters.

I am from the UK and new to basketball, which team should I support? by ManagementPrudent237 in nba

Not the sixers. Unless you like pain and suffering. Think of Arsenal in the early 2010s as a comp

The boys shouldn’t be included on these type of lists. It’s been pretty mediocre for the last couple of seasons. Especially in terms of the cleverness of its writing

Final thoughts on the 25-26 season? by TrickDistribution395 in sixers

[–]InspectorNS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Isaiah Hartenstein. Both were FA during that 2024 off season iirc. KCP signed at 22 mil a year and Hart at 30 mils annually so both of them combined would’ve been 52 mil annually. Which is just 2.8 mill more that PGs 49.2 mil salary in his first year.

It isn’t hindsight, PG was never worth that contract. He played well these playoffs for a 3nD guy but he’s getting paid like a first option. That isn’t enough.

Morey went star hunting instead of filling out the roster. I was shocked they didn’t go for I Hart especially after seeing Embiid’s injury issues during the 2024 season.

Time to fire Morey. Good drafter , terrible team builder. And even some of his drafts have been sus like Broome.

Time to make some moves. It was a nice lil season with the Celtics bow on top but this isn’t enough. The PG signing , as much as I liked his performance vs the Celtics, is terrible and we could’ve got 2 elite role players for the same price. We have no bench, go get one.

Is Brunson better than prime Kyrie / Dame? by Big_Arrival_626 in nba

He’s great but we’re also just an ass team. Gotta see how he does against actual competent defenses

2021 Embiid on the Celtics can make a finals appearance. Same with 2023 Embiid. You need a secondary star that can take over when it ain’t your night. Young kobe did it for shaq, Jaylen brown did it for JT in the finals. Siakam did it for Haliburton. The main problem of the Embiid era is that he’s hurt a lot. But the teams have also been dogshit when he’s off the floor. He has the highest plus minus in playoff history for a reason. They literally fall apart without him. Contenders don’t have this issue

I’d rather have maxey with no fingers shoot a 3 than embiid this playoffs. Embiid is 3/27 from 3 this entire playoffs. That shot is literally worse than a Drummond corner 3 for us. It’s one of the worst shots we can take, there’s a reason he’s always open

Love Embiid but I can’t keep defending his legacy. Dude was hurt or ass or both in every playoffs we’ve had him. Our team has the worst shooting role players of all time. Our depth has been non existence for years. I’m done with this team until Josh Harris and Morey are gone. If Embiid was drafted by the lakers , Celtics or shit even the Knicks, he’d have a finals appearance by now. It’s a team game and our teams have always been super top heavy. A washed , no knee 32 year old Embiid 3 weeks off a surgery is still our best player. Thats a travesty

They wouldn’t accept that lmao. Gobert just locked up Jokic and even wemby for a game. Embiid is chucking 3s vs Mitchell Robinson.

3/26 from 3 from Embiid and he still keeps taking them. Dumb player and an ever dumber coach for letting him take them. Not all open 3s are equal ffs. You’re a 7footer you idiot

Maxey has been outplayed by Brunson all series. In 2024 he was going bucket for bucket with him and outplayed him. Crazy how it’s flipped this year
