I wouldn't want to be in his shoes in a western country if the other guy complained to HR. No its isnt , people ALWAYS put people into groups, its the old "is that tiger in the bushes or the breeze blowing scenario". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) 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 Edited August 25, 2022 by Jingthing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insulting and possibly true stereotype racial or not - especially a one off only constitutes s *abuse* by the groups that whine and hunt it out to later use it as a weapon. Spousal abuse Child abuse Verbal abuse I see what you did there but I'm not buying it for a second.

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) Quote New census population projections confirm the importance of racial minorities as the primary demographic engine of the nation’s future growth, countering an aging, slow-growing and soon to be declining white population. The new statistics project that the nation will become “minority white” in 2045. During that year, whites will comprise 49.7 percent of the population in contrast to 24.6 percent for Hispanics, 13.1 percent for blacks, 7.9 percent for Asians, and 3.8 percent for multiracial populations (see Figure 1).
