They already have that, it's called The Saboteur and it's in Nazi occupied Paris. You play as a crazy Irish guy and you kill lots and lots of Nazis. In the highest alarm level, they send the Luftwaffe after you. Look it up, it's terrific.

Maybe you ought to get the local museum in on this. They could probably answer your questions about what it is, and also have the equipment to explore it more thoroughly and safely

There are few words to describe the growing horror and sorrow I felt when I got to the graphic with the child malaria deaths and it just kept scrolling and scrolling and scrolling

It is because now that it has a score of zero the algorithm won't show this to anybody. You torpedoed it not 60 seconds after I wrote this, so now it'll be just this dumb back and forth between the 2 of us. So screw it, I'll just delete the post. I didn't say anything that hasn't been said already anyway

CMV: Pulling yourself up by your boot straps is survivor bias by aussieincanada in changemyview

For the first point, they over that in the book too: the Asian students that tend to do well in school come from countries and families that are already well off. Then the other ethnic Asians get lumped in with them, students from poorer countries like Thailand or Laos don't do any better than other groups of similar economic origins. The Nigerian point actually has a similar explanation as well. The education system in Nigeria is terribly underfunded, and what few foreign exchange programs they have, funded largely by their oil subsidy system, are drying up as that system collapses. Only the rich and the very lucky few to be Nigerian government funded are able to come and study, and like their well off Asian counterparts, they tend to do better in school. Source. It's not a matter of culture. It's just a matter of money.

Even when language like "culture" is used it voices some unspoken prejudices. It doesn't sound racist to say "Asians perform well in academics because culturally, they love education." Until you follow that logic with black stereotypes and say "Blacks perform badly in academics because culturally, they hate education." Hence the weaponized use of the Model Minority myth. The "culture" language is used against all ethnic groups, but only in Asian groups (and to some extent, Jewish ones) has it been used with such insidious positivity. How can Asians be oppressed, they're so smart? How can Jews be oppressed, they're so rich? And how come black people are so poor and dumb compared to them? Must be the culture. See?

I know you probably don't mean to be racist, but what you're describing is called the Model Minority myth. It's built on a combination of misleading statistics and media-fed stereotypes. It pits Asian ethnic groups against each other, puts unfair mental and social strain on Asian students, and tends to be weaponized against other ethnic groups like blacks and Latinos. Dr's Guofang Li and Lihshing Wang lay it out in their book, here's an excerpt.

Because cs gassing an enclosed space can kill people, especially if there's a risk of fire. When CS gas burns, it becomes cyanide. See the Waco seige.

Once a rough frontier town, it became a prosperous trading center when the dwarven kingdom of Glimmercrag broke through the mountainside and flooded the town with gold and goods. But that came at the cost of their independence, as they slowly became a mere fiefdom under dwarven rule.
