Political rants

found this info Another thing about Japanese girls is that they are rarely seen without socks! Even in the summer, when they’re wearing sandals, they’ll wear socks with them. See-through socks, normal socks, stockings, there’s a huge variety! As for office workers, stockings are considered a courtesy. It’s less common for Japanese women to go out bare-legged, so you will often see women wearing stockings even with open-toed shoes and sandals, which would definitely shock Taiwanese people to say the least! It seems this is because they are told from an early age that not wearing socks is bad for your feet. But, if you think about it a bit more, perhaps the reason is actually to do with the amount of times you have to take off your shoes in public in Japan. In a lot of restaurants and izakaya, you have to take off your shoes, so you would probably feel a bit uneasy walking around barefoot somewhere that isn’t your own home! Do the Japanese women you know avoid these 11 things too? If you get the chance, ask your Japanese friends what they think when you’re in Japan! The more we discuss it, the more interesting discoveries will come to light about similarities and differences across cultures!

Bad sportsmanship for sure. Why did they get the police involved for a bit of tortilla flinging though. Am I missing something? What the heck are they hoping to charge them for?

Ah yeah, Internet and plumbing are the main reasons im not living in the woods or cave or some shit. That and i'd prefer I had someone with me. P.s. this last page has like 3 different types of doggy doo doo with some humor thrown in lol, so random.

You know, this is as funny as when my friend dropped his phone and put it in rice. He said, "you put a phone in rice overnight and Asians will come to your house and fix it for you." As half Asian I laughed my ass off, even worse I would fix your phone for a bag of rice.

You know as a black person in today's society alot of the reason why i hate shopping in person is mainly due to stereotypes. So i walk in a store and i dont know what im gonna get. Im just looking and looking. I feel uncomfortable because often times i feel like black people tend to steal alot. So would someone percieve me as someone who is trying to steal? I am walking and i see a employee staring at me. I go into an aisle and he nonchalantly walks past it only for me to go to the one in the opposite direction and he then turns around and asks if i need help. In this case i was actually looking for something. But i feel i always have a big target on my back because black people actually do these things. Stereotypes dont just happen out of thin air. There is usually a reason for it. Thats why i feel safe shopping on my military base, because while yeah some people do steal its often very rare. So no one is actually looking for you to be doing that.

I feel with all the race propaganda we have, we need to start holding people accountable. Alot of good people suffer because of the actions of someone else.

See my thing is it's really difficult to make a law that's fair, can't be abused, and can be enforced. I would claim it only increases tensions otherwise. I've always believed that increased involvement between the communities would move us forward more than anything. In my community what I've noticed is that the different racial groups tend to act like a silo. Really all of them, but the black community especially so. They mostly only interact with each other, they all live in the same parts of town, etc. I imagine it provides a sense of comfort, but to others it builds walls and allows other things to build the narrative of who you are (stereotypes). I tried to go to a community center there once along with my friend that is from that community. I was asked not so politely to leave. There's little or no chance for interaction. When I pass someone I can't think maybe he's like that guy that plays board games, or enjoys working on his car. Instead a stereotype is front and center even if I know it's fundamentally flawed. Re: shopping. Probably won't help but people do something similar to me. I really dislike attention while I'm perusing and will often back track or go to a different aisle to avoid looks for lingering. I've definitely attracted the attention of employees by doing this.

See i have been on both sides of the fence, wealthier majority white and ghetto majority black. My family is the in the traditional hispanic family model. So basically 3 different cultures. For arguments sake imma just stick with white and black. I often saw more instances of stealing or violence in the black community. Literal shootout with cops in a busy intersection. In the white community mostly peacful everyone kept to themselves with the occasional alcoholic neighbor living with his mom. Not much in the way of violence or crimes. This is applied in 2 different states. Florida and texas because i have lived in both sides. Classic majority white school to the majority black school. Now where am i going with this? What makes these two communities different? Absolutely nothing. There is nothing inherently different beteween these two communities. They are all normal people. The big difference in crime and violence is upbringing. In the majority white school it was in a good part of town, kind of pricey, but around alot of decent establishments. The other however had tons of gang activity, and low income families. Immigrants who may or may not be legal citizens stuff of that nature. What did the majority white school have thst the black one didnt? Opportunity, accountability, order. In the white school the afterschool programs were exceptional, the school was also very large, better lunches, better teachers. The black school, very outdated building, old equipment, kids used to have food fights every day literally just toss up a random object and people scrambled. Afterschool programs? Nope. Teachers had a do what you want attitude and didnt take education seriously. One teacher did stick out the most though and he was genuinely trying to teach kids. But idk if he last very long.

My experience was with a lower-middle class community. Less than 100 different families. No gang violence to speak of. I'm not that brave. Lack of opportunity in primary and secondary education is something I would want addressed. I must admit I don't have much sympathy for poverty being used to gauge opportunity otherwise. My grandfather practically lived at his jobs to propel his family to where it is now. My values of opportunity are derived from that. You've got to put the effort in before you have ground to stand on.
