Yes, precisely that.



You give that impression either way.

With all due respect alnorte: what percentage of Venezuelans actually live as well as in the videos you have posted? Isn't there something almost Potemkinish on only focusing on...

She gives me Sue Pollard vibes.

Somewhere in between?

I am not saying everything is the fault of the Europeans. Certainly, there is a long tradition of dictators like Mugabe and Macias Nguema blaming everything on the West to deflect from their own...

Not so much that. I am thinking more of RB's threads praising Jim Crow and even slavery, which shocked even many other right-leaning people on this forum.

Doubtless he is exaggerating too. Nonetheless, you haven't answered my basic point: if it is possible to blame many of Romania's problems on the Ottomans and/or Soviets, then why is it invalid and...

Other Leftists may genuinely despise them, but I at least don't hate them as people, just that many of their views can be quite misguided, extremist and lacking in empathy and education.

Don't get me wrong: I don't hate RB and types like him. He is actually quite genteel and polite, and I can actually imagine him being quite hospitable and friendly were you to meet him in person. ...

The funny thing about RB is that, although his demeanour is actually pretty harmless and inoffensive, in terms of his views he often comes across as the worst caricature of a Southern redneck.

I don't just mean the people I see walking around, but also the huge increase in ethnic minorities and immigrants working in shops and especially restaurants here compared to even a few years ago. ...

While needless to say I am certainly less anti-immigration or conspiracy-minded than many if not most other forum members, all the same I don't treat government stats with the same unquestioning...

Forgive me for my ignorance, but much of the time I actually cannot (easily) tell apart Balkanites and the not-so-swarthy Kavkazians. I'd certainly find it harder to tell apart a Bulgarian and an...

Actually, the European and Islamic empires were driven largely by the same things: partly a desire for more land and resources, and partly by messianic religion. (Only that, while the Islamic world...

Not a great deal, but my point is that it is hypocrisy on steroids to blame all of the Balkans' problems on either the Ottomans or the Soviets, yet people like to deflect when the iniquities and...

Kolkata was the most extreme and drastic example, but this forced deindustrialisation was something repeated by the British throughout India. The main point is that the notion that the world was all...

Even in Apartheid South Africa (though interestingly not Jim Crow US), East Asians were classified "honorary Whites".

(1) Using that same line of thought, what were Romanians and South Slavs doing before the Ottomans? Most European inventions, which doubtless you like to piggy back on, were WESTERN European...

Not as small as that, but certainly the Moorish settlement in Spain was not that enormous either. (Ironically, this is an argument that Spanish nationalists usually do like to emphasise, precisely...

I certainly don't think that colonialism is the be all and end all explanation. However, it is rather convenient and hypocritical to blame all of Romania's pre-Communist problems on the Ottomans,...

Most non-Muslim groups nowadays have a majority of women of working age (16-74) in the workplace. In fact, IIRC more Black Caribbean women than men work, and the employment rates for Indian, Chinese...

Not the whole explanation either, though certainly an important one. As has been discussed before, China was pretty poor long before Mao came along, DPRK until the 1980's was actually wealthier than...

But regarding what I call the 'European-MENA' transitional groups, apart from some Mongoloid admixture in Turks, what other non-Caucasoid admixture is there? Certainly, most Cypriots just look like...

Shouldn't China be much wealthier than it is based on IQ? (Yes I know it is improving rapidly, but still many of its Western regions in particular are still prety impoverished). And what about DPRK?

Far far less.



When it comes to certain professions and businesses, yes.
