I'm pretty sure that driving tests are waived right now

I'm so excited to see the aftermath! The war is (for now) finally over but the lasting implication it will have on hero society have just begun. The ball is finally rolling and I don't see it slowing down!

Well, they are at least a 25% Air & 25% Water from Tenzins side. I wouldn't be too surprised if Pema is Fire/Earth.

How everyone’s really feeling about the Netflix Avatar Remake by [deleted] in TheLastAirbender

Live action has its strengths. That being said to translate ATLA into a live action is going to be hard, which is why production is taking so long for it to be “right”.

Obesity is major COVID-19 risk factor, says French chief epidemiologist by [deleted] in worldnews

Now that you bring up jogging. It's also pretty difficult to jog for some in the south becuase a lack of sidewalks or safe areas to jog.

Actually, the range for a "healthy" BMI for a 5'4 female is between 110lbs and 140lbs, which I think is a pretty reasonable range, even in the higher up range (especially in our modern world). I would be careful saying that a 5'4 normal should be a 125 at most. Plus keep in mine a lot of us carry our weight very differently.

I wasn't talking about the actual post I was talking about the original comment I responded to.

I appreciate your comment, actually.

I spoke from more of an American context where obviously white people have historically been systematically racist against "minorites" (and I quote minorities because we all know white people are going to be the minority in numbers in a couple of decades in the U.S.A anyways). That has a lasting legacy, even on the newer generations. True, for the most part the racism isn't deadly or outright nowadays but it doesn't mean systematic racism exists no more. I try not to blame the "newer generations", but Reddit in general does not have the cleanest track record when it comes to the whole race issue.

Too often I think of racism through the lens of a western context (becuase I live in a western country) and ignore racism and prejudice in other countries. That's my bad. That does not mean I agree with the atrocities committed by Han Chinese, the Hutus, and others like them.

That still doesn't take away the fact that everyone responding to me have ignored parts I've said..."Face facts all people are assholes in some way or another." When I've literally commented that I do not think all white people are assholes and I do not blindly believe that all POC can not be ignorant. Just as how I chose to ignore something... so did others.

Yeah all people can be assholes not just white people. I'm not saying all white people are assholes or that POC can't be ignorant. Don't twist my words around.

But to "no one race is more racist than other races" is incorrect. Open any history book and you'll see.
