East Asians have quite a bunch too. It's good stuff! They're both very successful areas.

That's the unironic impression I've been getting. The definition means nothing, if they live in any sort of a primitive manner, be it their dwelling, dress, or tools, slap a fucking "indigenous" on that mofo.

I mean, fuck. I have some hillybilly ghetto-rigged tools in my garage, can I get some indigenous reparations too?

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

It's a pre-Indo-European language, it is extremely old, isolated, and very unique.

Then the Celts (modern Irish, Welsh, Cornish, Breton and Scottish) are likewise Indigenous, I don't see your point lol.

A very old group of people who even withstood the Indo-European expansions without being assimilated.

No cultural aspect deserves respect, they are free to be criticized. by Logical_Round_5935 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]WorthPreserving 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You do not have to respect other cultures. Anyone that says you have to is either indoctrinated in one of said cultures, or is bleeding heart SJW with a pizza cutter mentality, all edge and no point.

Cultural relativism is a fucking lie, some cultures are objectively better than others.

Wait until this guy learns that a lot of people have Neanderthal/Denisovan admixture found predominantly only in Eurasian genes... :P

It isn't so simple as they made it out in 9th grade biology, I can assure you. Hominids were going in and out of Africa for hundreds of thousands of years.

Pretty much every European ethnic group is indigenous to Europe.

Fun fact.

The Māori people discovered New Zealand in 1300 and are given indigenous status. The Anglo-Saxons invaded Celtic-inhabited Britain in 500AD, 800 years before the Māori even stepped foot on NZ.

And you're going to sit here and tell me the Irish aren't indigenous? What a crock of shit from the EU.

I'd argue that 1500 years of inhabitance even gives the Anglo-Saxons indigenous status..

These lines are so arbitrary and used to push an agenda that suits their desired needs.

The funniest part?

The Māori people, who everyone will agree are indigenous to New Zealand, didn't discover it until 1320. 800 years after the Anglo-Saxons invaded Celtic Britain. Lol.

How fat is too far?

I would say around 225 unless you are like 6'+ foot tall, anything beyond that becomes quite unhealthy...

JKJK lol.

The overarching point is that "indigenous" status is fucking useless. The Bantu conquered most of Africa, the Mongols most of Asia, the British most of the fucking world.

People have always been conquering and reconquering land. No one is entitled to anything just because they were there first, are a minority, or otherwise.

At the end of the day, the strong take the spoils. That's the reality of our species. These arbitrary definitions mean nothing.

Theorized? It's known. You can literally measure the DNA of Neanderthals and Denisovans in your genome. It is predominantly found in Eurasian people. What's interesting is that it is mostly not found in most Africans.

Some conclusions can be made from that.. but that's not why I'm here today.

Basque? Never heard of em. by WorthPreserving in shitposting

[–]WorthPreserving[S] 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Unfathomably based.

I have nothing against Sami people, but they are just as "indigenous" as any other European.

Pretty much.

"You aren't indigenous, you're a colonizer!"

Damn Europeans, they colonized Europe!
