Well, at the risk of stating the blindingly obvious, there are more white people in america than other colours.

Would we really care if a bollywood joan of arc or hamlet was played by an indian actor?

Whenever this sort of thing comes up, I'm always reminded of the vital question of Columbo's right eye. Does Columbo have a glass eye, or is Peter Falk's glass eye playing the role of a real eye?

Reading the reddit thread, i became more and more convinced, almost certain that it was true.

Now i'm back here, i feel less sure. Does the colour scheme of reddit lend itself to conspiracy theories, or is it just being surrounded by other gullible people?

Don't get me wrong, the cops who do this kind of thing should be sanctioned, and severely so, but surely tarring a whole group of people with one brush is the problem here?

Cops shouldn't assume people are criminals because of the colour of their skin.

People shouldn't assume cops are racist assholes because they're cops.

You're participating in the very behaviour you're complaining about.

I'm going off the WHO's version
http://www.ohchr.org/EN/ProfessionalInterest/Pages/CERD.aspx

"racial discrimination" shall mean any distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on race, colour, descent, or national or ethnic origin"

If you read around, it becomes pretty clear that racism's definition is not completely set. It means different things to different people, and has been used in different ways historically. So really, nobodies really 'right'.

There also isn't an agreed on definition of Islamaphobia, but there are many parallels between Islamaphobia and racism, with some definitions mentioning that Islamaphobia can take the form of racism. There's also an interesting read here by the Council of Europe (COE) where they say that "Islamism is the view that Islam is not only a religion but also a social, legal and political code of conduct"

Ultimately, no matter the definition, if what is happening is effectively the same thing as racism, then it should be avoided just as carefully.

BBC news did pretty much exactly the same thing. They even have an article on their website outlining the reasons why it is a bad idea to report the shooters name and picture etc...but then they are just as guilty of writing these bullshit stories about who the killer was, who his parents were, his hobbies, his favorite colour, that thing he once said to someone etc etc. Meanwhile the victims are just numbers for the most part.

I think they overdid the colour grading there. It's not that vibrant.

I hate (end-user) printers, hated them 25 years ago and I still hate them today. Haven't printed anything in colour in years. Want colour? Get a pack of crayons.

I have a Samsung full colour laser printer.

I bought it brand new for less than the cost of replacement cartridges.

When it's final out of toner, I will throw the printer away and buy a new one.

It's just cheaper that way.

The "mild racism" is in your head.

Firstly by thinking of the "chinese" as a "race".

Also the song is only funny if you get the joke and then it is mildly anti-racist. Also only mildly amusing.

Imagine an analogous song about "russians" - would that be mildly racist? If sung by a respectable coloured gentleman? Or would it simply be on the cusp of being amoral, like all humour?

Of course if russians had tiny trees they would be the biggest tiny trees in the world, ever.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Not a lot of colour there. Except for the athlete. If they made a remake of Animal House, it would look like this.

I have another suggestion. Maybe if they were a lighter colour, people would be put off by all the very evident bird shit, moss and filth that will accumulate on them.

Go to SovietWomble's (the streamer) Youtube channel and watch teh Space Engineers one...

SPIDERMAN KISS!!!

Pure gold (and yes, for the easily offended, there are some really off colour remarks in there =)

Many of the new images have exaggerated colours, or are in black and white, and it might take a while before a colour correct set is available for comparison.
