Fairly certain no country is "100% white".

[–] [email protected] 94 points 10 months ago (10 children)

That's because "White" as a concept has always been invented to be nebulous and exclusionary. It's not a real group.

yeah it's funny seeing Poland in that list since for a hot while we were not considered "real white" and were "slavic", same story as what the Irish went through. From what i'm reading at some point we were even considered terrorists in the US! (because one Polish dude killed some president), and the same scare tactics as what happens around Muslim people today were engaged

history is so fun /s

Yeah, whiteness is all about who isn't white so it doesn't make sense for it to exist without people who aren't. The Irish, Italians, and Jews are all just some demographic shifts away from being not-white.

Moreover, the concept of race is outdated and deprecated in the scientific community, mainly because most people (and nations) had some influence of several of them and can't be strictly categorized as one or the other.

Cool that you mentioned Jews, because they are a very interesting case study. There is so much diversity within them that you'll never be able to tell which race they belong to. There are even large groups of black jews living in Ethiopia, Uganda, Nigeria and other countries, which is a revelation for many.

Diversity is not our strength. Ridiculous levels of natural resources is.

And being virtually impossible to attack, with a friendly country up north, poor countries down south, and oceans to the east and west.

This guy listing Poland there while I am refusing to travel to USA sightseeing due to personal safety which is not an issue in Poland. Power of country does not directly correlate with standard of living, Russia is the great example where living is shit yet it's still a "superpower"

[–] [email protected] 24 points 10 months ago

I don't think anyone seriously believes Russia is a superpower any more after their failure to take Ukraine.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

yet it’s still a “superpower”

Is it, though?

Too horny, didn't read

Bro has never visited Lithuania or Poland. The countries are amazing and probably more advanced in many regards than 90% of US shithole states

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Yeah, our bridges are not collapsing and if I break my leg I’ll get free help.

Damn, now I want to fuck it too; it's clearly asking for it.

Zoophilia is a paraphilia in which a person experiences a sexual fixation on non-human animals.

America was only exceptional in that we profited heavily off of WW2. We were one of the only countries whose land was basically untouched and after the war we created a bunch of money and gave that to war ravaged Europe to buy shit from us.

It is much more nuanced than that, but we had been riding that high a couple generations and now all that "prosperity" has been squandered.

The artist who drew that Eevee appears to go by wanco HT. A higher quality version of Eevee can be found here. Hopefully, this'll save someone else some time.

Lmao imagine not thinking that the US is a shithole

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago

I think the idea is the people that believe in white supremacy think the US is the best country.

America is nowhere near the most diverse country.

Not even in the top 50...

I would be interested in hearing of any country with the sheer volume of immigrants that the US has from every continent. We have migrants from every European nation, africa (including modern african culture, not just the results of the slave trade and imancipation), asian immigrants, including China, Japan, Veitnamese, Indian, even indigenous peoples as far as Oceania. And every culture is represented in our own, much to the dismay of those that believe our great works came solely from white hands. Our democracy is founded on a melting pot of ideas and inputs, not a euro-centric empire graciously allowing "lesser men" in it's borders.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

Probably operating on Bruno logic. "Africa is full of minorities" level of thinking.

Wikipedia's page on ethnic diversity ranks the USA at #90 out of 215 countries.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Those are from 2003. Here's some more up to date data (with spreadsheets!): https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/most-racially-diverse-countries

USA is still placed at #90, but the top looks a bit different

It's funny because I believe it's Russia that's the most diverse country in the world (in terms of "ethnicities"), mainly because it's so fucking huge

I've been to Russia and Poland, it's not 100% white.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Neither are they shitoles. Poland especially is a great place to be. Russia has it's issues, even before the madman in charge went fully berserk, but they are nothing compared to some places like Somalia that deserve the name.
