If you're referring to me, I tend to upvote posts I agree with. Spare me any explanations, I don't want to hear them either way.

I wonder how the recent numbers would look. Since 2008 until now, there has actually been a decrease in the ratio of nationals to migrants in the region. That may sound somewhat positive, but it...

As I said before, whether those countries are part of the MENA world or not depends on the definition used. If we go by colloquial usage of the term, Turkey is almost always included in the mind of...

By most definitions, Turkey is considered part of MENA. In the case of the Caucasus, it's more like 50/50. Anyway, pick a random European, a random South Asian, and a random MENA country. If I were...

Exactly. You can't fight evolutionary psychology no matter how hard you try. That single-valued analysis in the post you're reacting to may be amusing, but we wouldn't have this very discussion if...

Go ask them, I'm not the spokesperson for the ones who do. I acknowledge that there are many West Asians who would pass in many parts of Europe rather well and vice-versa. And it's certainly not...

Europeans. While there is some non-trivial overlap between us and MENAs, most South Asian groups tend to look distinctly South Asian and can't be confused for MENAs.

Pretty much textbook alpinid. There's nothing exotic about him, he would easily pass for a local here.

Even with significant influence, their profession remains unchanged. For me, they're still at the very bottom - I don't measure social status solely by money and influence.

No imaginable trait can mitigate the fact that they are the lowest of the low. Perhaps they are conscious of this and are trying to compensate by doing such things.

I agree with most of the post, yet lowering oneself to the same standard isn't the answer.

Stop looking for excuses, Dušan. Our urges can wait.

Sources for that. And yes, China invests heavily in research and development, which is commendable. Question is though, how many of the Chinese researchers are going to stay in China.



I heard...

This notion of East Asians being smart but less creative is an outdated concept coined by people whose scientific standards were on the level of high schoolers. In my field, mathematics, which...

Rest in peace, O.J. Hopefully, the gloves in the afterlife come in a universal size so he can finally find one that fits.

If you’re 31, you’re part of the same generation as me (I’m 32), and we both grew up with predominantly Western media. Yet, I consider my Czech heritage to be strictly Eastern. If you're one those...

You may be considered Western in a global sense, but within the context of Europe, we adhere to the Cold War division.

No, you're not.

It's indeed an example of natural selection in action. Firstly, preference for chaste women may have minimized the risk of investing resources in offspring that were not biologically related to them,...

A Joo in denial.

I would be very surprised if the Croat (RIP to him) was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. This situation strongly suggests outright racism, whether in the form of hatred or indifference....

I don't show any bias towards one side of my heritage over the other. Failing to recognize who I am would be a form of self-hate.

People in their early to mid-40s are still relatively young and if she is 25, there's no controversy.

I know some women around my age who started dating older guys early. Oh, how happy they are knowing their mates are 60+ dudes in decline.

We aren't judged harshly for our age, but there is a limit...
