Ah, I knew I would get that at some point.

It's a South Park reference, with the character Token Black. Nothing to do with racism of whatever.

Try addressing my points instead of resorting to name calling.

It is ethnocentric and xenophobic to think YOUR culture is better or more valuable than another's

Well it sometimes is better. I'm sure people in Pakistan think their culture is better than the Scottish one or wherever. Are they xenophobic as well?

And let's not pretend that imperialism is not largely to blame for many of the issues present in other places.

When does it stop being the fault of imperialism and when do people start taking ownership of the situation they are in?

But even for those who do decide to emigrate, they deserve to be treated as valuable human beings rather than people referencing 'dealing' with them.

That we can agree on.

Reducing it to tikka massala is an incredibly narrow way of thinking about cultures. If I was Indian I would probably be offended by that comment.

Each culture has a different value system, and sometimes they clash quite hard against each other.

If you increase the supply of workers with no change in demand, it drives the wages down not up. Like it or not.

TokenWhyte

OK commie.

The laws of economics are hard to learn I suppose, easier to call people class traitors instead.

TokenWhyte

The person provides you a job and a roof, and you call them parasite.

People immigrating to Scotland don't automatically assimilate into the Scottish culture. They more often than not primarily retain their own identity over the country they are in. This is not a skin colour question, before you accuse of racism.

If you think the Scottish culture is good, then you need to be careful about rapid changes in the make up of it and the people of Scotland.

TokenWhyte

It's not xenophobic to point out that Pakistan has a lower quality of life overall than Scotland or England, and people from that country would likely choose to come here if they could.

Not having to show proper ID to vote is insane, in my continental opinion. This should not be a partisan issue.

TokenWhyte

Yes inquisitor, this cow right here.

TokenWhyte

Thanks, I'll look into it!

TokenWhyte

Any specific alternative ROM I should look into?

TokenWhyte

Good for you, it's never easy to reflect on oneself and change when you see it's needed.

TokenWhyte

Why is that? I'm on a Poco F1, wondering if I should move to another rom.

TokenWhyte

Maybe you should pause and seriously ask yourself why. I'm not saying it's right or wrong to vote Tory (I didn't), but I see so many of these posts that are like "duh, people are so dumb, how can they vote for X?" without taking a minute to put themselves in their shoes and think about why they do.

And you don't have to strawman with "because they are racists / hate the poor /...".

TokenWhyte

Don't tell me what to do.

TokenWhyte

75% of the time I'm denied.

My transfer from Leno to Meslier doesn't look that bad now.

TokenWhyte

Sick piece, it looks amazing

TokenWhyte

Waiting for taxes on people who walk to work, those bastards need to support the bike and tube riders /s

TokenWhyte

Worth it?

TokenWhyte

I was looking for it, after someone mentioned it on voip. Could you point me to somewhere with info about it?

TokenWhyte

Holding Flanks Killing Tanks is a fantastic team name :D
