Yeah better to do it behind their backs. As someone that can "pass" in two regards, I know that is real.

To the sort that use "woke" as an attack word, it sure is.

I call B.S.! White resentment is a social disease. What's referred to is if you ADD UP all the NON-WHITES then whites will eventually be a little less than 50 percent, Get the BIG difference? The US will become ‘minority white’ in 2045, Census projects (brookings.edu)

Many will disagree but social context matters. Such as the demographics and racial pecking order of a particular community. Germans with their history pointing out big noses is objectively different and more loaded than a Jewish girl expressing desire for a nose job among Jewish peers. I think by far the bulk of nose jobs done globally are among Asians to change the shape. Love your nose! https://english.elpais.com/culture/2022-04-25/barbra-streisand-the-80-year-old-star-who-did-not-fix-her-nose-and-who-sets-her-own-rules.html

Big hooked nose? Blame it on the Hittites. Apparantly it occurs frequently among Mediterranean people in general, Jews and non Jews but not even close to a majority of them. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_nose

What does that mean?

French?

Found this one, basically a cheeky prank / Cali dudes bromance show.. I do love the name Chad and J.T. Go Deep. Just sampling it now. Probably too sophomoric for my tastes but I intend to go deeper and give it a go. Protect Our Boarders!

Hmm. Well I watched the first episode and found it painfully boring. I can't relate to the characters at all. It came off as a low quality production. So no more Red Rose for me. On the other hand, I'm a big fan of the Sex Education show. Pretty much the opposite of Red Rose. It hooks you in hard from episode one, the characters and story lines are highly relatable and entertaining, a very slick production indeed.

I agree as I have my example of how I can easily identify Ethiopians based on appearance. We all do such things at least internally. The German was clumsy about it but it was still very trivial. But a good topic to spark a discussion.

There is German humor?

Are you joking? Have you been to Turkiye?

Hmm. This topic is kind of fun and loaded as heck. The German gentleman sounds like he lacks social finesse but it's impossible to know his intentions from that comment. If I was a manager I would take no action. But going deeper there is some level of reality behind many superficial ethnic physical characteristics. Many things such as skin color, nose shapes and sizes, lip thickness, head shapes, hair texture and on and on. Race might not be real except as a social construct but racism is real and so is diversity of superficial ethnic physical characteristics. These types of differences are a teeny tiny part of our genetic codes Having one sort of hair texture rather than another isn't inferior or superior but can make a person stand out if a minority. I have a lot of exposure to Ethiopian and Eritrean people. As a rough generality I can tell them from other Africans just by looking. On meeting such a person I might ask if they're Ethiopian. Is that racist? I don't think so. As a Jew I have some typical Ashhkenazi physical characteristics but not a particularly big schnoz. When I visited Deutschland as a teen and even visiting German restaurants in Thailand I felt a little uncomfortable about standing out. Can they tell the Juden? Which of them especially the older ones are Nazis? There was even a scary incident in a small Austrian town at a restaurant where we were getting shockingly bad service actually no service at all. My group all 15 year olds two Jews and ane swarthy Italian with curly hair and a very big nose started laughing about the situation and even undiplomaticly uterred the slur krauts. Well oops the old Austrians heard us and things started to get ugly with them cursing Amerikaners. We never did get served there. Yeah luckily I guess they didn't read us as Jews but they were obviously old Nazis so being American was bad enough.

It's downright fascist.

Or truth!

Happy he did. Crudité.

Small correction. Each episode of the older show, Nathan For You, does stand on it's own. However, in The Rehearsal, the first episode can stand on it's own (and gives a good sample of the odd concept of the series), but episode two to the end are part of continuing story. Be advised that The Rehearsal is very dark. Many will hate it. Sample of the lighter, Nathan For You.

You just posted anti Semitic garbage. My engagement with you has reached its conclusion..

You forgot Irish who were not considered white during their immigration wave and Jews. I appreciate your honestly but frankly it sounds like right wing white nationalist white resentment replacement theory, thus very unsavory indeed. If America is going to survive as a democracy and it probably won't people are going to need to move on from Make America White Again poppycock. https://www.voanews.com/a/what-is-the-great-replacement-theory-/6578349.html What is the Great Replacement Theory?

Racial aliens? Wow.

This could possibly (HOPEFULLY!) lead to the death penalty for the clearly corrupt Trump Organization. Yes, that is a thing.

Turn things around to the end of American democracy. The republican party (not just Trump) wants dictatorship.

Don't you think this entire topic is kind of you know what?

I miss the Chinese. Not the tour busses and groups. But Chinese independent travelers had grown quite a bit here before Covid.

What are the Indians saying about the f-rang expats?
