Why is it racist to ask for immigrants to integrate into a society?
We're not asking you to abandon your religion and forget your identity bla bla bla - no
What we're asking you to do is to respect the principles of the country (free speech, secularism, freedom of religion, equality etc etc)
Learn our language
Respect our culture
When some politicians ask for that, they are automatically labelled racist
10 AnswersPolitics5 years agoWhy is the media so biased nowadays?
Can't people see through it?
For example the guardian covered a story about anti-mass immigration political party in sweden.
They just labelled them "far-right" when actually their social policies are more liberal than the Democratic party in the US
They also call them anti immigration when they're only opposed to anti mass immigration
Instead of reporting their concerns, why people are voting for them etc etc, they just paint them as racist, without telling the backstory
Don't get me started on online news sources like Salon, Jezebel or TYT
Why can't people see through that? Are people really that f*cking stupid?
10 AnswersPolitics5 years agoUS house representatives problems?
After calculations, state A should have 17.40 representatives state B should have 12.40 representatives, and state C should have 9.20 representatives.
What happens to the decimal places?
Also what if a state has so little population that they should have 0.49 representatives or less ? (currently Wyoming should have 0.83 representatives)
2 AnswersGovernment6 years agoMy daughter is triggered at preschool?
She was read Snow white and it said "who's the fairest of them all"
This is racist, it makes her think that white is beauty and black is not, the whiter (fairer) you are the more beautiful you are
I wanted the teacher to apologize to her - he refused
And guess what? He thinks it's not racist (he's white - you probably have guessed it)
Can I sue him or the preschool for emotional distress? I'm worried she'll develop PTSD

3 AnswersOther - Society & Culture6 years agoHow are mandatory consent classes not sexist?
Recent news - a guy was shamed for saying that he knows what consent is and refuses to attend consent classes
There's one scheduled for me (and all other male freshmen) around next week - it's compulsory but I will not be attending
I know what real consent is and I don't care how feminists define consent
The truth is the vast majority of male college students are not rapists
How are mandatory consent classes for male only different from mandatory crime prevention classes for blacks only? You're assuming a certain demography will commit a certain crime
16 AnswersGender Studies6 years agoThere is ACID in my water?
Someone told me tap water contains Carbonic acid - why don't they filter it out/remove it - is it because it's too expensive and they don't care about our health ?
When will the FDA ban this? Can I sue the water providing company?
7 AnswersNon-Alcoholic Drinks6 years agoConjoined twin crime?
One of them bought some cyanide from an accomplice (He asked for it through text - the other one doesn't know)
He then puts some in the drink of a person next to him
The problem is what happens to the other twin? Can he be sentenced to jail?
Has there ever been a case like this anywhere on earth? (Not necessarily murder,any crime that involves imprisonment will do)

7 AnswersReligion & Spirituality6 years agoWhy is US medicine so expensive?
Saw this on wiki
In the USA, wholesale price of a week's supply of generic mefenamic acid has been quoted as $426.90 in 2014. Brand-name Ponstel is $571.70. In contrast, in the UK, a weeks supply is £1.66, or £8.17 for branded Ponstan
The generic is more than 150 times more expensive!
Is it the same for other medicine?

How does it work? We're connected in the same grid right? So the company provides the energy straight to my home through the grid? How does it work? What if me and my neighbour chose a different supply company?

2 AnswersWords & Wordplay6 years agoAffirmative action?
people only want affirmative action when it suits/doesn't affect them
Eg: now some feminists are bitching about colleges discriminating against women for wanting a gender balance (especially in art courses) - but they seem to have no problem with tech colleges discriminating against men to have a gender balance because they think thatscience is patriarchal as it's developed by men
and then we have whites wanting to end affirmative action because they fell discriminated against, only to want it back after asians took a lot of their places
Why not just stop affirmative action already? Is it because I'm sexist and racist?
3 AnswersWomen's Studies6 years agoMy husband and passwords?
Recently my husband changed his password for everything - his phone, email, facebook, bank accounts and even the safe (we used to have one safe, but he bought another one for me and reserved the old one for himself)
He said he deserves privacy and is sick of me checking on him (I just need to make sure he's not cheating)
If he has nothing to hide - why not let me see it?
