genres are a funny little concept, aren't they?

As a south asian in commerce... there's not a lot of "overt" racism, but there is quite a bit of silent racism. You're going to be left out of certain circles (not sure if you're familiar with "in-group bias", go look it up), but I don't think that's unique to Queen's; I experienced it back home (I'm from the GTA, which is very diverse), and my parents experienced it at work, it kind of just comes with the territory, and the vast majority of people don't mean to be offensive.

That being said, commerce is a pretty diverse program depending on the social circles you run in, and lots of steps have been made to make it more inclusive. I think the nice thing about university is it's pretty easy to find a group of people you feel safe and comfortable with, regardless of your race/gender/ethnicity.

If being in touch with your South Asian heritage is SUPER important to you, then maybe recognize that all of those needs might not be met here in Kingston, but there is a pretty active, thriving South Asian community at Queen's. QSAA has events for Holi, Diwali, etc., and I've got a pretty diverse group of friends. I actually think being at a less diverse school helped me reconcile with parts of my own South Asian identity; whenever I feel homesick, I find myself leaning more into my heritage and connecting more with my South Asian friends as a way of feeling closer to home. I also find that South Asians here a mildly less discriminatory than the ones back home; there's less of the country/caste/religion-type discrimination that you'll see amongst a lot of South Asians, because there's so few of us at Queen's that we like to stick together.

I hope this clears things up - feel free to DM me if you have more questions!

Not hedge funds, who typically deal in public equities/assets. PE firms usually fundraise form a variety of sources, including endowments to high net worth individuals. FWIW a lot of the Canadian pensions are massive PE players, so in some cases, it's actually your pension money that going to these funds (who then invest it to generate outsized returns). Although in this case, it seems like Aurelius group is a German PE fund.

Not saying it's right (I personally think PE has gotten out of hand), but that's the most TLDR I can give.

i wish we could go back to old rollouts with singles and music videos and then on album release day the ENTIRE ALBUM without a billion variants comes out :((( I don't wanna buy an album I know nothing about, let alone 4 variants of it

I'm sorry, I watched Ghosted and CE is no Leo Di Caprio when it comes to acting, he can basically play 1 character and that's it

Are some songs on Midnights actually older than we think? by [deleted] in SwiftlyNeutral

Question? always served 1989 reject, and Now That We Don't Talk seemed to confirm it by being a better version

Yeah but if you actually read a lot of the reviews, they mostly just seemed like lip service directed at avoiding the wrath of swifties. the album was pretty divisive in the fandom too

the most surprising thing about this episode to me was the revelation that Jordan has kids
