We’re going broad with this one given the population and the size.

      I wonder how the rates of violent crimes suffered by asians in Americas/Europe compare to violent crimes suffered by white people in China, Korea, or Japan…

      remember when covid happened and asians were gettin jumped every week? when’s the last time we heard about a white guy getting beat up in Asia? maybe getting scammed/pick-pocketed in southeast asia or getting caned in Singapore during the Clinton era?

      I’m not saying asian people don’t have bigotry or ignorance, but it plays out very differently

        You’re not wrong, but that doesn’t mean racism doesn’t exist in Asia. When it comes to racism, two Wongs clearly don’t make a white.

    China: Stop trying to make the mandate of heaven happen. It’s not going to happen.

    Japan: If you’re worried about population decline, maybe you should be less shitty to foreigners who want to live there.

    Korea: Your music industry is uncomfortably close to slavery. And despite America’s best efforts, you still have the closest thing to a government owned by corporations.

    Southeast Asia in general: I am sorry you are stuck being the Middle East of the Far East.

      Addition to the above, since someone pointed out that my Korea comment appears to assume a South Korean default:

      Best Korea: Your music industry is uncomfortably close to slavery. And despite America’s best efforts, you still have the closest thing to a government owned by corporations.

    My hot take: saving face and thinking that winning by cheating is the same as winning are toxic culture traits

    Some of ya’ll are the most racist people and China is, like, the Texas of Asia. I think of people living in China the same way I think of people living in North Korea: How horrific, I wish them luck.

    Also, WTF South Korea. All I hear is how sexist and fucked up you are. I don’t hear anything good about living there, and the fact that some of those cheabols haven’t been assassinated yet is beyond me.

    Your curry sucks.

    No, not that other Asian country’s curry. That one is really good.

    YOUR curry sucks.

    Why is it like that and way different from that other Asian country that tastes way better?

    Y’all migrated out of Africa like the rest of us.

        Everything I’m finding on Google is saying Morocco, with scientists suggesting we probably evolved all over Africa.

            I’m gonna need a link for that cause that makes no sense at all in the context of all other finds.

            • AFAIK, the “out-of-africa” hypothesis isn’t so much based on skeleton findings.

              It’s more based on some thoughts. One of them is that africa has a “high genetic variability” which they see as proof that humanity originated there, even though i doubt the soundness of that argument.

              The second reason is some kind of racism: “if africans are really inferior beings, that must be because life originated there and emigrated and africans simply stayed behind in both space and development.” (not my thoughts)

                That’s unfortunate, since many of would find that fascinating reading. I remember reading something similar but more like: there was a wave of migration to central Europe much earlier than expected

                Everything I just looked at still puts Affrica as origin

                Although I don’t remember reading …. Each wave of migration out of Africa was different hominids. They all coexisted for a long time but eventually the hominids from the last wave succeeded and the others died out
