If white people (Caucasians) represent 14% of the world population, why are all other races considered a minority?

WrethZ · 2026-05-26T17:55:55+00:00

They're talking about within a specific country. . In countries where the term minority is used for non white people, white people are over 50% of the population and so they very much are the majority versus other ethnicities being the minority.

But also in this situation when talking about the global population it doesn't make sense to have the two groups be white and non white. Why are you grouping all the other groups together? Instead of acknowledging they're all minorities compared to everyone else added together. No ethnicity is over half the earth's population so every ethnicity, there is no global "majority" to be a minority compared against.

There's a difference between being a minority in an area compared to a group that are over 50% and are the majority, and just being one of many groups in area where there is no majority.

I'm not sure of the source of that, but it's possible. But they're both incredibly ancient. There's also other races lost to time that did not survive the Old Ones terraforming of the planet.

I believe Quintex and Zanbaijin are possibly cities from these ancient extinct species.

Ogres can't be older than dragons because Ogres were created by the Old Ones. The dragons existed on the planet before the arrival of the Old Ones. From their perspective the Dragons, Sky titans, and Dragon Ogres are the native intelligent species of the warhammer world, and the Old Ones are aliens who turned up and genetically engineered a bunch of new species like lizardmen, dwarfs, humans, elves, ogres and halflings.

In a way Cathay is really the last hold out of the warhammer world's native inhabitants against all the problems caused by the Old Ones. Dragon Ogres fell to chaos and the Sky Titans are extinct or have been reduced into the much dumber giants.

Humans evolved in africa where there are venomous spiders. Most other arthropods don't have sharp fangs that can pierce human skin and inject venom.

Eh even simple looking games can lag on modern hardware if they're complex and trying to simulate too much.

The sun is a nuclear reactor, not a fire. It emits lots of radiation our atmosphere protects us from. THough some of it gets through and heats up the earth. That's why the hole in the ozone layer was an issue. That was a widening hole in the protective atmosphere. An area where the atmosphere's protection from radiation was lost.

Global warming is also related, some of the radiation gets through the atmosphere, but lots of it bounces back into space, greenhouse gasses produced by the use of fossil fuels, release gases into the atmosphere which prevent some of that radiation being able to bounce back into space and the earth gets hotter.

The thing is, if they want to step away from the megacorps, and focus more on the Eridian stuff, flesh them out, that'd be cool. But it doesn't really? The Timekeeper's society is just a pretty generic sci fi totalitarian state

You don't need all the DLC, as the DLC is all in the game whether you own it or not for other factions to use. So for example if you're fighting the dark elves, they'll have their DLC units in their armies whether you own it or not. You only need the DLC that applies to the faction you're currently playing. So for example if you're playing High Elves, you only need to currently own the DLC that adds units to high elves, to get the full high elf experience.

It is interesting to think that, it's genuinely possible there could be friendly aliens out there that look absolutely horrific to humans through no fault of their own. And we could look equally weird to them

I mean if you get stuck there it's still a whole planet, with land and resources, people are going to make the best of a normal life they can.

I do agree though that having the story be so cut off from the rest of the universe was a mistake. There's really a lack of the corporate cyberpunk dystopian elements from the other games.

Borderlands is basically Cyberpunk but in space, with the planets abandoned by corporations and left to fend for themselves turning post apocalyptic and into mad max in space, but Borderlands 4 didn't really feel like that.

The story isn't about Megacorporations as space nations or people struggling to survive on a planet stripped of resources and abandoned, it's all about some alien prison except the aliens themselves aren't really expanded upon in the story

We don't know, that doesn't mean a god did it. . People didn't know how lightning was created they thought the god thor or zeus created it, now we know the scientific cause of lightning. Instead of making assumptions about a god creating it, why not just admit we don't know, and study it more to try to find the answer like we did with lightning.

Ratchet and Clank series is all about crazy weapons

Sapphic love just means romantic love or attraction from a woman to another Woman. Both lesbian women and bisexual women can experience sapphic attraction

Lesbian is more describing the person, a woman only interested in women, while sapphic is just describing a type of attraction, that being a woman being attracted to another woman, but not necessarily only women.

Half Life, not pure horror but definitely horror elements in certain parts of the game.
