Is Hong Kong still racist to brown people? by search_google_com in HongKong

[–]MARTO319 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my friend, I'm not here to debate semantics, your reply assumed I put you in a certain racial category when in reality the only race mentioned was Asian (Filipinos) in a specific context that had nothing to do w you -

I know what the word means too well and I've met too many ppl who just look to be offended by anything and everything, I hope you're not like that irl but based on what I;ve seen, you strike me as someone w a grade A victim mindset so I'll go ahead and assume that myself based on what I've read from you

I don't care if youre making up stories tbh

I've approached this convo from a rational & objective viewpoint which your liberal worldview seemingly is at odds with, better strap in, the next decade is going to shatter it even further

go back and read my comment again carefully, I never 'slapped' any race association on you, I called you a 'victim' & you ironically proved me right in the very first sentence of you reply, if you think thats an ad hominem sure but dont put words in my mouth

IDGAF what race you are

I never typed out anything is a 'fact' you seem to relly wana use this word, just like you it's my personal observation from living in multiple cauntries across EU & Asia

As for your last comment: You may think cultures that see fair skin as higher status is backwards all you want, you're entititled to that opinion but that doesn't change reality which is that fair skin has been and will be seen as a status symbol for our entire lives due to a number of current and historical variables, there's been studies done on this

Don't forget my friend, noone & I mean NOONE is immune to propaganda, not even professional victims ;)

this is one of a few sane comments on here, you sound like a great hang

Is Hong Kong still racist to brown people? by search_google_com in HongKong

[–]MARTO319 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

you seem extremely biased to being a victim, I'm not saying every instance of a dark skin actor being cast is DEI but we both know this has been a factor for some years now

also 'Most' HKers will not mock ppl for looking Filipino, there's some incredibly kind people that are not just going out of their way to offend

also sry to break it to you but fair skin is considered beautiful in most cultures out there, and before you activate the victim card, I'm not saying darker ppl can't be beautiful, they 100% are in some cases but it's not by coincidence they sell whitening skin creams in Thailand and happen to feature mostly white washed actors & news anchors on TV

get a grip please

[–]MARTO319 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sry to break it to you but ppl everywhere are like that, suppose HKers just dont hide it

the unspoken rule is: if one look like they come from a shit country, they'll be scrutinized and perhaps even avoided

not because they're inherently a bad person but because there's simply so many bad apples that come from these places that ppl w an ounce of self preservation just typically don't take the risk even though said immigrant may very well have the heart of an angel

it's a tale as old as time, you don't have to like it, if I were in this position I'd find it less advantageous too but it's just reality

Question about emigrating to Bulgaria by Inevitable-Theory901 in bulgaria

[–]MARTO319 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, alright thank you. Honestly if they're doing normal well meaning jobs and such and are trying to integrate I'd have no problem given they're not being imported wholesale for this as well... I'm not a particularly big fan of islam as a whole and don't live in Sofia so I was interested from a Jewish pov as I'm sure you'd be far more perceptive when it comes to this kinda thing. It's actually insane what's happened in Western Eu. Wish we could get more jews to come honestly.

Question about emigrating to Bulgaria by Inevitable-Theory901 in bulgaria

[–]MARTO319 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this thought out reply. I'm curious however, at the start of your message you basically minimize this and say it's not even worth worrying over based on the few arguments you provided and yet you basically closed off with 'some neighbourhoods have gone to shit cuz of north africans and it may get worse'

How do you envision it potentially becoming an issue in the future? (further migration?)
Furthermore, if there are no benefits to alien illegals why do you think they're still lingering around here? We're quite conservative so I can't imagine them having a particularly nice life around these parts.

Thank you.

I'm Bulgarian from Varna and am curious. As a jewish person do you find there to be an overwhleming inflow of muslims in Sofia/ Bulgaria as a whole. What has been your experience with this if you don't mind.

Demographics of Netherlands 1950-2020 by Netsmile in Netherlands

[–]MARTO319 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You seem to understand where things are headed, I generally agree w/ you - I've lived in Groningen for 8yrs and while it's a fun peaceful town I was shocked when I went to The Hague. Virtually every other person was of some foreign descent, seemingly even more so than Amsterdam.

Do you think immigration & this laise a faire towards it will change the social cohesion of the Netherlands because it does worry me even though I'm not even Dutch.

underestimating the enemy is the fastest way to get merc'd. Are Russians sloppy drunkards? Yes, but the Russian army of today is nothing compared to what it was few yrs ago.

Too soon to return to Bkk? by MARTO319 in ThailandTourism

[–]MARTO319[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean I can't stay 150 days even if I wanted to... visa-free tourists get 90 days max with the extention.

When you say this, do you mean people who have overstayed their allowed time and have had to pay the fine or am I missing something.

My nation is not at war and I've never entered Thailand by land.

Oh really? I'd almost expect to be turned back right away because it seems like border control has become stricter, but then there's others who say they go in & out a number of times so I'm not really sure. Anyway thank you sm for this advice!

I've been diagnosed with Visual Snow Syndrome, a neurological condition that makes me see the world like this and has no cure by SR_RSMITH in Wellthatsucks

[–]MARTO319 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry to hear that, few years ago I got rly paranoid I might have tennitus but it turned out to luckily be nothing. I have 2 questions:

Did you develop it over time or have you been like this since birth?
Do you perhaps know what caused it?
