'White culture is under threat' is a core belief of white supremacists.
It's also a well known fact. All you have to do is look at the demographic changes in Western countries.
Wanting white culture to survive still doesn't make one a white supremacist. I even want Japanese culture to survive. Does this make me a Japanese supremacist?
Jesus often gets depicted to match the local population. In Korea, for example, he looks Asian. The difference is that it's done for religious purposes, whereas an "educational historic video" like those made by BBC are expected to have different motives and standards of objectivity.
he's literally proposing a conspiracy theory, based on an educational cartoon, for children, about the Roman empire
I'm not sure conspiracy is the right term, but it does seem like political propaganda from BBC, don't you think? How else would you explain the unrealistically "diverse" representations of history (the Roman period being just one of them as you can see in that other post)?
Moralizing is cheap. How about you stop voting for politicians who keep bombing and destabilizing countries and producing more refugees?
so why are you blaming the US specifically and not any of the disparate partisan groups that directly built ISIS?
Perhaps because there are more US government supporters than ISIS supporters browsing this website?
And while it seems we pretty much all agree that ISIS are bad guys, not that many Americans appear to be bothered by the fact that the politicians they voted for are bombing other countries at will.
why cryptocurrencies are such a good thing
What if they aren't such a good thing?
How about the fact that paying with something like Bitcoin is (energy) inefficient, inconvenient and slow?
There are currently three cryptocurrency threads on the front page.
chopping up humanity according to notions of supposed ethnicity is barbaric, and we're in the process of getting over it, even if some people will have to be dragged along.
I find your comment offensive and unsettling. My people were discriminated and persecuted because of their ethnicity. If things have gone worse we could have been wiped out of existence.
What you're basically saying is that it wouldn't be a big deal, because all people are interchangeable. Who cares if some ethnic group goes extinct, just replace them with someone else, because a human is a human, right?
