What is your race?
12-10-2010, 05:17 PM
Someone made a comment that the forum has a "strong black contingent." Not to disparage my caucasian brothers, but black men tend to have better game on average so of course I welcome their contributions.
So now I'm curious to the actual makeup of the forum. The poll is anonymous.
EDIT: Don't want to get crazy with the political correctness but even if black guys had zero game they'd still be welcome.

Persians are Caucasians.
Not to the Ku Klux Klan.

Just tried to learn more about "Persians". Damn, what a compelling read.
Iran
Quote:Quote:
The exact ethnic breakdown of Iran is unknown as there are no official numbers, however some organizations have made estimates. The Library of Congress released the estimate: Persians (65%), Azerbaijani (16 %), Kurds (7%), Lurs (6%), Arabs (2%), Baluchi (2%), Turkmens (1%), Turkic tribal groups such as the Qashqai (1%), and non-Iranian, non-Turkic groups such as Armenians, Assyrians, and Georgians (less than 1%). According to them Persian is spoken as a mother tongue by at least 65% of the population and as a second language by a large proportion of the remaining 35%.[184]
The CIA World Factbook estimates are as following: Persians (51%), Azerbaijanis (24%), Gilaki and Mazandarani (8%), Kurds (7%), Arabs (3%), Baluchi (2%), Lurs]] (2%), Turkmens (2%), Laks, Qashqai, Armenians, Persian Jews, Georgians, Assyrians, Circassians, Tats, Mandaeans, Gypsies, Brahuis, Hazara, Kazakhs and others (1%).[38] However according to them Persian and its dialects are spoken as first language by 58% while Azerbaijani is spoken by 26%, Kurdish by 9%, Luri by 3%, Balochi by 1%, Arabic by 1% and that some 2% have other languages as first language.[38]

I voted. Even though everyone knows what my race is... It's a bit tricky to classify in Brazil, but I still declare myself as black.
Deixa que essa fase é passageira, amanhã será melhor você vai ver a cidade inteira seu samba saber de cor!

Well there is an interesting point I have been meaning to bring up and I guess now is as good of a time as any.
In all primitive human societies and in apes and even monkeys, females of other breeds, races or blood lines are sometimes accepted into a tribe or family unit. In monkeys an abandoned youth or baby can be accepted as a playmate or a mate at times. However when it comes to males, the rules change. A male comes around past his childhood and he is seen as competition and any true alpha runs him off or kills him.
In a way we're not really that different. Of course we are not in the wild and we are not primitive, but you can understand how men get territorial about their culture or race, especially when we're talking about game, dating, fucking women of thier particular culture. No matter how you cut it, this boils down to the mating market and all men to some extent or another can be seen as competition or threat to your possibilities of mating, just like in the wild.
It is one thing to be outwardly racist and aggressive about it and its another to simply be offended when someone rubs your race the wrong way and makes sweeping generalizations even if it's on accident.

Whoremonger: I don't know you personally, but you seem to have a chip on your shoulder yourself. Off the top of my head you bring up race more than any other member.
Again, racial discussions are fine, but when you go off topic to do it, that doesn't help the forum. Start a race thread if you want and discuss it in there. It's just getting old when someone asks for help on Russia, for example, and we get into yet another race argument that is IDENTICAL to one we had a few months ago.

Who cares about where Caucasians come from.
Nowadays everything is mixed.
