Why are the Chinese racist for refusing to assimilate? Demanding assimilation before treatment as equals is the racism there. I don't know enough about the situation in Malaysia to say anything on that specific topic, but refusal to assimilate can be racist depending on the context. The way the Mal...

That might be vaguely similar to asking why South African blacks do not just assimilate into Afrikaans culture. I think. I confess to being terribly ignorant of how these really work so forgive me if I say anything that turns out to offend. Equal treatment is also again a loaded thing, as equal trea...

Who is sick two days before Thanksgiving? This guy. Who is watching a marathon of Psych? This guy. Re racism. In my sociology class, we read an article about racism and one of the fallacies the article mentioned is that lots and lots of people reduce racism to the individual level instead of lookin...

Yeah I acknowledge racism - this is more in reaction to the assertion that it is "not wrong" for voters in the US to favor voting a Black person over a non-black person because of the poor position of blacks in the US. Though the comparision breaks down when you consider blacks have neith...

OK, riddle me this: General statement: Malays in Malaysia hold political power, but not economic power Chinese in Malaysia hold economic power, but not political power Equality that does not account for privilege is not equality at all People should vote for people they feel best represents their in...

For what its worth, I think it's pretty clear that any number of soldiers can hold off many times their number in zombies, but just how many soldiers does any country really have relative to population? Any major dense metro area is just doomed that way. It's not for nothing that most of the cities ...

Apparently the movie is better than the trailers equating the walking dead with Palestinians would have you believe Funny thing is in that particular scene, Palestinian refugees are some of the first people attacked by the zoombies. Yeah well Metahive and others have spoken. O yea, gods I wish he w...

Well I wish I had the words and concepts to explain why broadcasting atheist propoganda into the Muslim world probably won't have the intended effect.

Look, even in modern industrial war, many tactics are dependent on the enemy being made out of human beings who cower, who fear, who, once the battle swings against them, retreat or flinch. These tend not to work when you are fighting zombies who don't care one bit. Did you think that casualty rates...

It's a good book. And the reason I'm offended by the film is that when they acquired the rights for the source material, they had a chance to bring a different kind of zombie apocalypse story to the screen. Then they realised it couldn't be done in their format, or was too hard so fuck it. See Supe...

Welp WWZ thread went up in TEO, didn't even make it past the OP before the dismissive statements of "stoopid writers din't have military bomb 'dem all" came out. Cause, you know, when the world went to hell in what looks to be less than a week, several hundred nations are panicking, tryin...
