Do not blame me, I am just reporting.
The local feeling is that slavs are white, italians, spaniards, greeks and turks and mexicans and gypsies are not.
It is a simple skincolour chart, paler the better. There is no big philosophy behind it like Hitler's full autism charts.
Plus eastern europeans are not that big on greco roman culture because it was not Christian enough and was too homophilic.
Again, this is just the local belief. I am not trying to pass it on as a fact.
I think darker skin is seen as undesirable since gypsies have it. Thus all darker skinned people have their rep ruined by the gypsies.
Wanna make a Spaniard/Portuguese mad. Tell them they have black blood in them. This also goes with the Caribbean, Brazil, Cuba, Puerto Rico, parts of South America. Anywhere the slave trades were established, or when the Moors and then later the Ottoman Empire were at there Zenith you have mix races of the darker skin. But colorism exists and people don't want to believe that they might have some other race within their veins.

Well they just locked down the entire country, closed off international flights today. Trudeau in promising leader fashion, still stretching this thing out wider than goatsee, looking like a fucking fruit like usual. All events are cancelled, public places closed, and all the restaurants are being asked to close for at least the next 3 weeks. I have to now wait for my ROE form with my final pay from my boss. So looks like I am out of work until this blows over, guess better safe than sorry, but I was really not looking forward to losing my job for the time being. They are saying there is going to be a speed up in EI benefits for people laid off, with some packages available for all of the people who just lost their jobs this week. Only delivery services, shops, and essential services are open. Government buildings are even closed for the time being, so the projection here is 3 weeks.
Luckily I just upgraded my internet so it's worked better than it ever has, so I can stream some hi-def streams of the chimp outs that are going to start happening soon. Seeing economic trends the damage will be substantial, so hopefully people can get on the whole fuck China outsourcing campaign so that goods and services can slowly be pumped back into our respective economies. They just opened a screening center where I am at, so in the manner of a few short hours cases are for sure are going to start popping up. Hopefully we can tackle this thing and anti-viral treatments and remedies can start coming out to help the people that end up contracting it.
Gook luck up there.
Lumping Italians, Spaniards and Greeks with Mexicans and gypsies, lol. The Mexicans jumping borders into the US are nearly all mestizos, Native Nahuatl with some Spanish and gypsies came from India. Italy and Spain are on the Mediterranean so of course a lot of them aren't pasty pale white but they are white. I get you're saying this isn't your personal belief but that's crazy.
Edited to add I forgot to mention the Greeks, they're the foundation of Western civilization-the patrician and equestrian Romans spoke Greek to one another, Latin was the vulgate-the common language of the plebeians.
Yup. Speaking first hand about the fucking racism that goes in in Mehico. They do have a caste system and it is in all parts of their society. If you are a lighter skinned Mehican, and especially can prove that you have some Spaniard, French, or even German Blood in you, most likely you will have started in a higher wealth bracket and/or will have a better chance in getting jobs/work within their government. If you are from the original Native stock that were conquered by Spain to this day you are fucked. This is one of the reasons the Cartels can get so much man power to do their bidding.
Also this little fact since this is St paddy's day.

There was a time not to long ago when a I person such as myself could go down to TJ. Watch the fights, have some fun, make some money and enjoy what was down there. But since the rise of the Zeta's and with that the increase violence down in that region you are no longer safe to venture out and talk to the real people and the real culture. That's something I miss.
Say what you will about the plot of the Matrix sequels, they had a great soundtrack
Oh the matrix soundtrack and the 1st movie was excellent.
But Mona Lisa overdrive is this.

Every true Cyber punker knows this
You get brownie points if you ever played the original CyberPunk 2020. Moar Brownie points if you played Twilight 2000, Morrowwind Project, or the original Shadow Run.
