Aurini sarcastically going through a screed on tolerance is pretty Tiberius Thyben posted:You don't know the half of it. I could make a whole thread about the hosed up race relations here in Canada. Canadian history is a long story about a country's quest to get rid of the First Nations, or failing that, at least getting them out of sight. The short version is that First Nations in Canada are the rough equivalent of blacks in the States (Ghettoization, high incarceration rate, incredibly high suicide rate, reservations without running water, and so on), and we are just as insane about Muslims. Of course, the only reason the modern United States isn't quite so anti First Nations is because they killed enough for them not to be considered a threat to the average rich white guy.

UnoriginalMind posted:Similarly, Alexander Pushkin, who is considered to be the greatest Russian poet of all time if not the greatest Russian writer. Wikipedia says his great-grandfather was brought over from Africa, so that makes him 1/4 of African descent, right? I never read him, but a professor of mine specialized in his work and mentioned that his heritage was pretty well known and people often made fun of his lips. In response, he dueled people all the time. Is there any evidence that their African heritage influenced their creative output in any meaningful way, though, other than people making fun of what are not entirely rare features for non-African-heritaged Europeans? I'm probably at least 1/8 Latvian, but if I ever got famous and Latvians started claiming me as their own I'd be more than a little bit annoyed.

Not so much his output, as far as I'm aware, but people were definitely aware of it and it had an impact on his life in a number of ways. Despite reading quite a bit of Russian literature, I haven't read Eugene Onegin since it's poetry and that's rarely fun in translation. What does Aurini do for a living anyway? Just these videos via his Patreon?

Yuran M. Bazil posted:To be fair most of those area's with a Native American majority have a really low population anyway right? Yeah. In fact, that is a map of federal ridings, meaning that every section has approximately the same population. However, First Nations and Inuit people still make up 5% of the total population. I've been kinda waffling on making a thread on race relations and anti First Nations sentiment in Canada. Main thing holding me back, honestly, is whether I am really qualified to speak on the subject. I've studied it a fair bit, am status Indian, and I grew up on a reserve. On the other hand, I am still pretty white (I was nicknamed porcelain boy growing up) so I'm worried I am an outsider.

If your goal is to educate people outside of Canada, you're more of an insider than probably 95% of the thread. As an obnoxious arrogant cowboy American, I have always been really curious about how Canada understands and deals with both race and racism. Like, how does Aurini get along with his fellow citizens? I have heard that there are vocal MRA groups at universities there, which shocks the poo poo out of me because even Americans at school shout that down or just don't know about it. Is he part of a larger domestic culture of urban racists? And what about hate speech laws? What would it take to get him censored or fined?

Yeah a thread on the FN would be awesome. I'm painfully ignorant of issues both historical and current facing FN Canadians, and I'd love to learn more about them before I move back to Canada.

Jack Gladney posted:If your goal is to educate people outside of Canada, you're more of an insider than probably 95% of the thread. Canada is quite a bit better than the US when it comes to xenophobia, even our conservatives have have strong representation in immigrant communities. But racism against natives is unbelievable. I don't know if anybody outside the US really pays attention, but violence against aboriginal women is such a massive problem in Canada that the UN has criticized us for it. Our government has of course reacted by defending our stellar human rights record and denying that a problem even exists. Seriously there are like 700 unsolved disappearances and murders still open right now that the RCMP literally gives no fucks about. It's just one of the ways that our collective racism is staggeringly obvious with even a cursory examination of the lives of aboriginal people in Canada.

Are your friends going for like a Biff-from-the-bad-timeline look too? Because that would actually be pretty boss. Your friends would also probably need to stuff way less newspaper into the shoulders of their blazers than this guy, although his dad probably only lets him play dress-up with the old ones he doesn't need any more.

Spoilers Below posted:What is it with these people and their small heads/big jackets? Why must they tarnish the legacy of David Byrne? Actually, if I'm not mistaken that's an overcoat. If you look closely you can just see what looks like a normal suit underneath the top layer. It's probably still slightly big for an overcoat I'd say it's still acceptable. Not to say his style is acceptable he's obviously just trying and failing to imitate Don Draper and trying to appear all manly like but at least his suit seems to fit decently.

To be fair, no-one would ever guess otherwise. I mean, they still won't now, because useful problem-solving is not a known skill for Internet neo-Nazis, but his self-awareness about his manliness shortfall is commendable.

Don't forget the danger of black people using Drexler-style nanotechnology to destroy the glorious white bourgeoisie. His existential terror of both these things has led him, as far as I can tell an ethnically Slavic person, to ally with straight up Nazis. He likes to tweet a lot about he's really a European Russian, honestly, he swears.
