This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Greetings!

Yeah, it's wild to think that in many foreign countries, their attitude is "Yeah, you are a minority. Shut the fuck up. This is the dominant culture. If you don't like it, too fucking bad. You can pack your shit and leave!"

While here in America, every fucking flavour needs to "represented" and measured into every fucking thing like a goddamned tablespoon of sugar.

I happen to enjoy diversity, but the whole crying and harping--not to mention the screaming and lawyers--just makes me want them to be thrown into a pool of alligators to shut them up. It becomes entirely offensive and annoying, every job, every company, every fucking movie or TV program, or fucking book. It's like, you know what? Fuck you. Not every company or everything in society needs to be measured in fucking tablespoons! 12% black, 8% Asian, 20% Hispanic, geesus.

Semper Fidelis,

SHARK

Same here Shark. I like having all sorts of people around, asking where they're from, what things are like there etc. But this forced "Diversity" bullshit fails to take so many things into account, including things that many SJWs pretend to be experts in, such as culture. Have you seen he recent articles on how the outdoors is a "white space"? It completely fails to take culture into account. My wife from Bangladesh was constantly told by her parents that the outdoors is dangerous, whereas my own parents tried to get me out in the fresh air every chance they'd get, and I know this goes way back in northern Europe. Now they're going after Western music, theater, and European-style opera etc. Nevermind that these were basically invented by Europeans, and family traditions might account for higher numbers of whites. They have to march in and scream "where are the POCs"??

LOL, they are now claiming that the British Monarchy is racist because they have all been whites... Seriously, let that sink in, a hereditary position, by blood none the less, is racist because the families that founded it were all from Europe.

Here is why this forum tends to be so stupid. Many people here think Joe Biden is "The Left", when he is actually Far Right and every US republican is just an idiot.

Think of people like Ilhan Omar and put her in a different country. Just imagine some immigrant to China talking shit about "Chinese men" being dangerous to the country and that people should be fearful of them. Or someone coming to Mexico and complaining about all the Spanish-speaking Catholics. How long would that last? Americans and Europeans seem to be the only ones that are not only taking this shit, but many seem to be asking for more, and STILL they are constantly being called racist.

Oh, we're readily importing the BS to México.

The "Diversity" cult is just anti-white, anti-male, anti-hetero, and as Yuri Bezmenov discussed decades ago, exactly the plan by Marxists to infiltrate and destroy Western Civilization. As an entire society, we've fallen for the lies (or quietly compromised and capitulated) and now we're ALL gonna pay the piper in very dear coin.

The grocery chain Trader Joes has recently came under SJW attack...and instantly dropped to its knees. In the past, they had cute "exotic" packaging with Chinese food under Trader Ming with Chinese art, Mexican food under Trader Jose with Mexican art, Italian food under Trader Giotto with Italian art, Trader Joseph for bagels, etc, but now those fun little differences are all gone in the name of diversity.

But it was never about diversity. It was always about submission and subjugation.

Fortunately, I never had children (nor wanted them). The conversations I've heard from those with kids is heartbreaking and I hold my tongue, remembering Yuri Bezmenov's words "I was able to defect to America. When America falls, you Americans will have nowhere to run."

Not good enough. Even the name "Trader Joes" has to go. "Trader" promotes capitalist thinking, and "Joe" makes our kids think of GI Joe, a toy that glorifies the US armed forces. Trader Joes must apologize and change it's name to Comrade Woke.

*LAUGHING*!:D

The really terrible thing about all this stuff--as stupid as it sounds--the Marxists are totally serious about doing exactly that kind of thing, everywhere.

There's a call to end blind audtions for the New York Symphony Orchestra because the result it too white.

Blind auditions were originally brought in to combat sexism.

The profound lack of curiosity in the social conditions which lead to a disparity of outcomes under blind auditions is telling.  

Let's just have some diversity at the very top in an elite institution, and ignore everybody else.

Tokenistic bullshit.

It's called 'we don't like the results we're getting in a blind test, so we're going to put our thumb on the scales. That way, people will see how enlightened we are even if we get a substandard tuba player'.
