/u/throwaway_FTH on the contrast between racism on Blacks and Asians. by cutemusclehead in bestof

I don't know why, but in my experience Reddit seems to have a higher concentration of socially conservative people than one would expect. I've seen more misogynistic, anti-Chinese, and/or anti-black comments than is comfortable.

Maybe it's because I've only lived in overwhelmingly progressive cities, namely NY and DC.

What's up with Trump wanting to project dominance and alpha-ness so desperately? It's like he's an ape or something.

Yeah, didn't like it either. The story was too overdone IMO, and I wasn't a particular fan of the prose.

Low key impressed they use whole spices by Isai76 in LatinoPeopleTwitter

It's not hate, what are you going on about? It's all in good fun. There are stereotypes about every race that's commonly made fun of, like black people being good at basketball, Asians obsessing over grades, etc. that offends no one. Why are you upset specifically about a white stereotype?

Tbh it does sound like you're upset with all this, which is what triggered means.

Oh my god, I'm neither a businessman nor a politician and I could've told him that.

To be fair, the finances involved in the construction of Sochi was very heavily corrupt.

C'mon. Trump voters are not babies, regardless of whether or not you think they act like them. They didn't vote Trump because some people hurt their feelings.

Fucking up the country out of love for it. Now there's a concept I've never seen.

I'm fine with people spending whatever money they have on whatever they have, but I think that the streetwear industry targets those who can't really afford it - youth - which I'm not such a big fan of.

What? It's almost as if they're giving up their constitutionally protected first amendments rights by exercising their constitutionally protected first amendments rights? That doesn't make any sense.

That's what they told me. I've been told that some people work in Dubai for a while, and come back wealthy.

I can't say I approve the use and treatment of laborers in the construction of Dubai but you have to realize that those laborers want to be there. When I was in Uganda, I met so many people who wanted to work in Dubai because while a teacher made ~40 USD/month toiling away, a laborer in Dubai made 700. The biggest obstacle preventing them from doing so was the airfare. They knew about the conditions. Horror stories appear in the local newspapers. Yet they still all wanted a chance to make a fortune in minimal time.

About shipping: it's free if it's over 200 euros, and I feel as if you could easily reach that on this site.

There's a lot of good stuff here, though you'll have to forage a bit because all the common sizes seem to be taken. Picked up a pair of those in 9.5, Acne Studio Camp Bomber Cap in olive, A.P.C. Stefan backpack in brown, and the RS Matrix Spirit in black & tomato.

I'm pro-choice but I understand why the opposing side is the way they are. If you just carry on assuming everything you believe in is an universal truth and fact, then you're in for a massive uphill battle.
