But how else, as a low-IM player, will I get to feel smugly superior to open players? ;-;

Just wondering, is it looking like we're going to get 16 IM teams this season?

Pick him up and you won't be disappointed. Chill dude and solid scout.

And yet people still won't vote Labour.

I told hedge his scout movement is bad :(

If you actually read the article you'd know that it literally points out that the image used is scientifically inaccurate. The entire point was to find out the perceptions Americans have about other groups of people and it thus used a very simple image that would make it extremely obvious that you view a group as less than human if you put them lower on the scale. As one person who works in the field says about the study (quoted in the article) “people are willing to admit that they have relative scales of humanity in their heads.”

You misunderstand. I was simply curious if anyone would attempt to actually discuss the contents of the article, since it clearly contradicts (in a very simple way) the worldview that most people that post in these types of threads hold. All this thread has been is personal insults and calling vox bad (when the article is almost entirely just reporting on studies and quoting experts, making that entirely irrelevant). No one wants to talk about how a quarter of respondents rated Muslims below 60% or how people rated Arabs 80% overall - because they want to claim that racism is no longer a large issue. Often because they hold racist views themselves, but hopefully some other reasons as well.

Genuinely interested to see if anyone would attempt to respond to the content of the article.

So far it's looking like a no.

It's a pretty interesting read! Of course, I'm sure it won't go over well on tftv, but hey, it's an important topic today and I'm sure some people will enjoy it.

I mean considering this one of the worst possible ways to spend your money, I think it's fine to say it's a poor use of money.

How this guy still isn't on a high-open team at the very least is absolutely beyond me. One of the most overlooked players in open - and it's a damn shame!

Almost no one in these countries, or any western nationalist party, is particularly concerned about immigration from predominantly white countries and you are well aware of this.

A quick google search suggests that around 85% of French citizens are white (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_France). If you really think that nationalism in predominantly white Western countries isn't tied up with racism than ur stupid (or a nationalist yourself and denying the racism). Her platform was largely about keeping foreigners out in a variety of ways, you just can't say that nationalism doesn't appeal to people in places like France because they want to keep people of other races out...

Le Pen getting 34.1% of the vote is still an embarrassment, but at least white nationalism lost today.

zoey is a good scout but cinder is a worse username

Please don't bump our roamer's lft thread thanks.
