Sargon of Akkad is now fully participating in actual politics in the UK. The same Sargon of Akkad that made this:

"Words never hurt you, they are just words, they don't do anything, they don't do any damage"

By this logic words should not inspire anyone to do anything at all. Infact any political statements you would make in UKIP or Parliament should be utterly worthless because they don't do anything. Infact if they do nothing I should be completely illiterate and unable to understand speech because "Words do nothing"

"You aren't the boss of anyone, no one has to do what you say"

And now you are becoming a politician and potentially going to "boss" people around. How the heck did I forgot about this video in my long time following this guy once?

Also I know this thread was more or less meant as a bit of "slander?" against Sargon of Akkad, but I am just addressing the sheer hypocrisy of Sargon in what is his doing right now with him in UKIP. And I am encouraging everyone here to keep this mostly civil.

Okay, there were a lot of amazing games as well as bunch of terrible games, but what about those games in the middle? These are games that had so much potential or was hyped, yet led to a disappointing release. Here are 10 games I thought were pretty disappointing.

10. Detroit: Become Human
Okay, please put down the pitchforks and torches for a minute. This game isn't inherently a bad game. The voice acting and motion capture are nice, and the graphics are very pretty and well detailed. But this game is also very repetitive in gameplay design. QTE, Button mash, and Dialog choices. The story is great with the branching paths, but I ended up liking Connor while other player characters felt really boring.

9. Fable Fortune

This was Fable's take on virtual card game like hearthstone, and instead of that game I decided to go with this one instead because of the fond memory I had with Fable 1 & 2. But I found it was no where near the level of Gwent from Witcher 3. I don't know if the cancellation of Fable Legends affected the release of this game, but it certainly did not called me back to the lands of Albion

8. Assassin's Creed: Rogue (XB1)

I never got around playing this game in the past gen consoles. After having fun with Black Flag, I thought this game would be interesting. Aside from a few cool Templar Characters and their side of the story, I didn't think I found much difference in the core gameplay as how assassins would've handled each situation. It is almost same as Black Flag, which I felt really disappointed because I think this game could've been so much more. Oh well, at least the story was kinda neat

7. Sea Of Thieves

I'm sorry, but this game still feels more like a tech demo for Xbox one X. There is little to no content here. I don't know if they added the AI crew like they said they would, but this game forces people to get friends and other players to operate a ship. I never could get anyone to play with me, and those short moments of laughing and arguing while sailing were too short. The gameplay is very repetitive. I would say the game still looks nice.

6. Far Cry 5

Some people might disagree with me on this, but I found FC5 to be lackluster. Yes, the game looks gorgeous (IDK how well it portrays Montana) and the outpost liberation is fun, but the story was kind of a bummer. First, you play as a silent protagonist named Rook, having a personality of sandpaper. Then, you face off against the crazy cult family. The characters are interesting, but I'd say they are nowhere near the levels of the ones found in FC3 and 4

5. State of Decay 2
So you know how in Angry Joe Show the Other Joe asks "You wanna play a zombie game?". That's how I feel about SOD2; The survival resource gathering aspect of the game is great, and it is even better when friends are involved. But the repetitive mission and the world feeling really barren (special zombies? Other survivors? Hello?), makes SOD2 disappointing sequel.

4. Vampyr
Love the setting, and the characters. Hate the gameplay and the combat.

3. We Happy Few
Ever since the announcement, the concept and the setting grabbed my attention. I was one of the first few people to try out the early-access, and I found the game to be alright back then. After the full release, I can see they made many improvements here and there, but was really disappointed by how the three story arcs basically played out the same. Yes, the stealth and scavenging for resources are nice. But there is very little consequences for acting out in the public.

2. The Walking Dead Final season ep. 2
Just like the TWD TV show, I feel the game series has also worn its novelty off. Same QTE, Button Mash, Dialog choices, walking around the map finding clues and items. It's all the same. The characters aside from Clem and AJ, feels really boring. I'm actually kinda glad TTG ended after this game because the future games, no matter what IP they decide to borrow from, would've followed the outdated format.

1. Battlefield V
The "I'm not educated to buy this game" Joke aside, My initial thoughts were that BFV was gonna be alternative scenarios of WWII. What I got instead was a game that can't decide whether it wants to be a game based on traditional WWII or an alternative timeline scenario. The campaign is kinda bad, especially the one with the ski girl as it completely disregards of efforts of the real soldiers who attempted very similar operation. But I guess we got this girl instead because "it's a possibility". The multiplayer is kinda fun, but the modes and maps are very limited, and the class roles are messy. Why add a time frame to cling on to life? That defeats the purpose of having a medic class. BFV isn't a terrible game, but it's not a great game either.

At 6p EST/3p PST tomorrow, the first polls will close in Indiana and Kentucky, and with that the first results from the last several months of campaigning. With all 435 House seats and 33 Senate seats up for grabs, many are noting the possibility of a shift in control of one or more chambers from the Republicans to the Democrats.

Additionally 36 Governorships and the Mayor of the District of Columbia are also on the ballot, as well as most state legislative chambers.

With voter turnout at historically-high records, many analysts are noting that the results may be substantially off earlier predictions.

If you're able to vote in the US elections tomorrow, please do so. I'll try to keep this thread updated with results as they come, though I can't promise anything.

Results updated as of 1840 PST 06 November 2018.

EDIT: Apparently the posting will not handle the length of the spoiler tag, so I'm going to stop updating.

Everything looks ok, but I don't know, I am not feeling this actor playing Hellboy.

I mean he's not as cool as even the Injustice 2 one let alone the Ron Pearlmen one.

And yeah I just think having Hellboy in a costume/makeup looks very gaudy and dumb.

I feel this is a case where I actually prefer a CGI/Mo-capped Hellboy like Davy Jones/Thanos.

http://operationrainfall.com/2018/10/13/senran-kagura-burst-renewal-cuts-ps4-explained/

When FE:Fates was localized, the head patting feature was removed in the american version. This causes the weebs to go and be outraged about it and talking bout how they refuse to buy the game. Thankfully their cries are muted out by regular people who shouldn't care about this feature

And now Sony has gotten rid of that feature in future games, looks like the Weebs got what they deserved for importing games like these instead of quality games like Yakuza.

Here we go; The best for the last. 10 games, in no particular order, that I personally enjoyed this year.

1. Red Dead Redemption 2
This game is probably one of the best looking games out there right now. Add the fact that this game has mad scientist level of details, fun gunplay, huge map, and a great story, and you got yourself a game that is well worth of $60. I just feel the mission designs are outdated as R* forces you to play missions THEIR way, and not however you want to approach them. Gang mechanic, while I love the characters, doesn't really seem to have much impact. Nevertheless, I had tons of fun playing this game. Now only if I had the same experience with the multiplayer.....

2.God of war (4)
Quite an amazing game. A game that just silences EA's quote on "Singplayer games are dying and no one wants it". I feel the game does justice for Norse Mythology as those who aren't into Norse Myth probably only heard of them from Marvel's Thor franchise. Every area is drop dead gorgeous and I got sucked into the story. The father-son relationship feels realistic thanks to both the writing and the excellent voice actors who voiced Kratos and his son. Gameplay itself was amazing, as it did more than just slaying horde of monsters

3. Celeste
This game reminded me so much of the old platformers. The movements you can do, the tricky platforming, and the retro 16-bit art style. It is all screaming callback to the classic games. Every death feels like it was my fault and not some bullshit mechanics. The characters were relatable and I am glad this game came out.

4. Monster Hunter: World
I will admit, this game took quite a while for me to get into. There were so many game mechanics that were thrown at me I was overwhelmed the first time. As I started learning the game, I began to see the beauty of the game. This game makes you prepare for each hunt, or else it punishes you for not doing so. There is actually a reason why you want to keep the old set of gears as you may need them for later hunts. The monsters themselves are amazingly designed and I felt the sheer scale of hunting down bigger monsters. Partying up with other players as great as well, as each weapon brings different aspects of how to take down a 20-ft dragon.

5. Spider-man 2018
Probably one of the best spiderman experience since spider-man 2. The game is an amazing balance of exploration, stealth (spiderman ones, at least) combat, and the story. Given how much I loved the arkham series, I feel this game took what I loved about those games and multiplied it several times over. The game stays true to the characters and the world we would see it the comics. However, I feel the game could've left out the Miles and MJ stealth sections. I found these sections to be boring and annoying. Regardless, this is an amazing game.

6. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Pure chaos, pure fun. So many characters to choose from. The controls were designed so that the newcomers have easy time getting into the game while the veterans can enjoy pulling off the complex manuvers. I had tons of fun playing this with my buddies, and it will probably be one of our go-to party games in a long time to come. There are crap load of maps to play, and the new singplayer content isn't bad for a smash game.

7. Gris
This game has a jaw-dropping beautiful art style. The water painting art style makes the game feel so unique, and expressing emotions through this art style has left me with a lasting impression. Any game that makes the animation, world design, and visual effects look like a painting coming to life is a plus for me. However, the platforming aspect of the game is quite shallow compared to the likes of Celeste, as if falls back to somewhat basic problem solving. But that issue was so minor for me as I continued to enjoy how artistic this game was.

8. Shadow of the Colossus (PS4)
It was so nice of sony to release this game on PS4 as I never got to try this game out on ps2 (I was too busy playing Kingdom Hearts back then). Each colossus you need to hunt feels massive. Yeah, the monsters in MHW are big, but most of them aren't COLOSSAL. These colossi feel like they are part of nature as if they have been woken from a deep slumber, covered in grass and plants. I also felt terrible about killing them as most of them were harmless.

9. Return of the Obra Dinn
Just like Gris, this game earns huge plus with its unique art style. The game is an extensive murder mystery for players to solve, which I absolutely loved. In most games all you do is investigate the scene and gather few clues. In this game however, there are many details you need to be looking out for. The fact that you are only limited to two tools for investigation makes you feel like an real investigator.

10. Dead Cells
This game puts you in a constant state of action, with the map layout constantly changing due to the procedurally generated world. No runs will be the same. The game has so many weapons and spells to try out, and you will constantly switch back and forth to see what play style works best for you. Every death was pain, because I knew I now had to run a completely different dungeon. The momentum of dodging, attacking, jumping, and running is where the game shines, topped with the retro style graphics. Not since Dark Souls have I enjoyed multiple run sessions to this extent

As can be found in this link https://www.foxnews.com/us/former-baylor-frat-president-accused-of-rape-avoids-prison-in-plea-deal we have a plea deal that many are angry about. A girl had a spiked drink and while disoriented was taken out behind a tent and raped and choked. The rape kit proves that it was a) this student semn b) a rape. Yet he pleaded no contest and was given a deal that lets him claim a deprivation of liberty charge (not rape) and may not see a jail cell.

Apparently, the evidence isn't there, like for example, there is no evidence he drugged her. But then I'd point to the rape kit and say, "How is that not enough evidence?" As far as I'm aware, no other details about limited evidence has surfaced yet.

So now this guy doesn't have to register as a sex offender. My question to you is: Is this fair?

Once arrested on suspicion of second degree murder, James Fields, the 20 year old male who purposefully drove his car into a crowd of counter protesters, has been found guilty of first degree murder for the death of Heather Heyer. As well as five counts of aggravated malicious wounding, three counts of malicious wounding, and one count of leaving the scene of a crash.

More importantly, the jury rejected arguments by lawyers for Fields that he acted in self-defense during the events. Also that she totally didn't die of a heart attack or something dumb like that.

The jury will continue monday with the sentencing, which will be anywhere from 20 years to life for the murder charge plus whatever they throw on for the other accounts of wounding and assault.

So, it's been a long strange trip since this all happened back in August. We've seen a lot, done a lot, and faced a lot since then.

Has what we've seen since change your opinion on the event?

Do you think it's a fair result?

I prefer a new F-Zero game from Nintendo over a new Mother/Earthbound game, Star Fox, Pikman and especially another Mario Kart game.

I wanna race and go so fast that even Sonic the Hedgehog will eat my dust. And have VR compatibility so I can race in fisrt person and probably vomit because of how fast it is.

And have the guy that did this Medley in Smash Bros. Ultimate to compose the soundtrack:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmMUxR-4rCQ&t

Seriously though of all the neglected Nintendo franchise collecting dust on their shelf, this one I want to make a big comeback, heck I even settle for a HD Remastering of F-Zero GX at least:

When a thread veers radically from its topic, I try to start a new thread about the new topic. It appears to have been suggested that women do not register for the draft because men want to oppress them.

I checked out some polls on the matter.

First link for the USA anyway:
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/general_politics/february_2016/most_women_oppose_having_to_register_for_the_draft
While (likely less reliable link but came up first)
https://dailycaller.com/2016/02/12/poll-most-men-want-women-to-sign-up-for-the-draft-most-women-do-not/

My own position: I am a man in the USA. I do not want women to register for a number of reasons.
1. Women do enough, thank you. They do bear kids, which isn't easy. That also makes their lives less expendable than men's. Sperm is cheap.

2. I think our gynocentric society would ensure if there were 50% women in the military, they would radically disproportionately have the cushier jobs.

Your thoughts?

Merry Christmas all! How did you do gift wise?

Let the bragging commence!

I had a blast. Stuffed silly. Drinking the last of egg nog.

I have an OG Xbox 1. Got the X today with Red Dead Redemption. Played through the start. Awesome.

How did you do?

Remember how a large part of the plot of Avengers revolved around Loki controlling the minds of Hawkeye and other people with his the scepter that Thaons gave him (which turned out to be the Mind Stone)? Well it turns out that same scepter was controlling Loki as well.

Marvel's official website has now confirmed that the MCU version of Loki was indeed influenced by the Mind Stone in the first Avengers movie, which caused him to carry out the attack on New York.

If you go to the "Loki On Screen" page on Marvel's website, you'll find the following excerpt has part of his biography:

"Arriving at the Sanctuary through a wormhole caused by the Bifrost, Loki met the Other, ruler of the ancient race of extraterrestrials the Chitauri, and Thanos. Offering the God of Mischief dominion over his brother?s favorite realm Earth, Thanos requested the Tesseract in return. Gifted with a Scepter that acted as a mind control device, Loki would be able to influence others. Unbeknownst to him, the Scepter was also influencing him, fueling his hatred over his brother Thor and the inhabitants of Earth."

https://comicbook.com/marvel/2018/12/28/loki-avengers-controlled-by-mind-stone-scepter/

I honestly thought it was just him being scared of Thanos. I suppose the sceptre influencing it's wielder isn't out of the realm of possibility.

Merry Christmas, US federal employees! Just what you needed to enjoy the festive season.

For those not aware of the details, the Senate has refused to fund a border wall, and Trump won't pass the budget, so the government can't pay for a load of its work. This is not a particularly big shutdown - only a modest proportion of the US bureaucracy is currently on indefinite leave.

Apparently there were frantic negotiations to prevent it, and when it became evident Trump wouldn't get the votes, he looked like he would accept a temporary extension. However, various conservative talk show hosts like Rush Limbaugh started complaining about the idea of Trump conceding, and so naturally he bowed to these rabid morons who broadcast to his base.

So, I've been wanting to write this for a while. Here is the thing that finally pushed me to do it
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2LkD_X636bg&list=PLkJemc4T5NYZpiVwtRDxXfZvcLzovtITo&t=0s&index=2

TLDR, trying to enforce Merry Christmas over Happy Holidays (and similar things related to Xmas) is breaks down Jefferson's Wall. Personally, I think Merry Christmas is Politically Correct.

Now I recognise that it comes down to how you define, becuase, I'm going to assume, whatever most people's definition is, it would include something about Left/ Progressive exclusively. Becuase it doesn't get used against the Right. My definition is something like a politically motivated speech that is meant to suppress the opponents arguments. Happy Holidays is meant to be inclusive but a lot of Christians feel excluded Becuase they think it superceeds their traditions. 'The War on Christmas' campaign made many retailer backtrack and go back to only saying Merry Christmas. So How is that not PC?

So, what your definition of PC? Are the Conservative PC too?

And most importantly for me, why hasn't the Left started using it against the Right? Becuase that makes no sense to me

The idea, concept, movement and purpose does not make sense to me.

Now, what do I base this off of?

Is it my politics? No. While I'm not a left leaning person I also don't consider myself a right leaning one (Although my Commander Contrarian nature makes me argue for the right more often on these forums).

Is it my religion? No. While others of my faith see arguments against it based on our faith, that is not from where I draw my problems.

My problem is I was brought up to believe that men and women are equal and have the right and capability to pursue whatever career or life pursuit they wish. In school I was taught that a girl doing "boy things" is perfectly fine and that boys don't always "have to be tough". That our ideas of how men and women are taught to behave is a cultural thing that we do not have to adhere to.

Transgenderism, thus, does not make sense. How can someone have a female brain in a man's body if the way a woman thinks and acts is defined by a set of rules that we ourselves have created? My own brain as an autistic individual is certainly different from that of what is considered "normal" but it does not mean I think to identify as an alien stuck in a human's body (I am, unfortunately, well and truly part of the human race).

I see the idea that this or that person having a brain that, upon analysis, is closer to the opposite gender of their physical body is just someone that is like me, they have a unique way of looking at things that does not conform to normal standards. Transitioning therefore is to me someone essentially rejecting their unique perspective to adhere to the standards that society has set. While you will no doubt become angry at this comparison, it is like implants and facial reconstruction that some people go through so that they can adhere to society's idea of beauty.

Now. Does this mean I think those that identify as transgender are subhuman? No, I think the people that ridicule and harm transgender people are terrible and should be stopped from doing so. Does this mean I think laws should be made to stop transgender people from transitioning? No. While I think it is the wrong decision, it is ultimately up to them to decide what they think is best for them, even if I think they are making the incorrect choice, it is still their choice to make.

I just do not see the logic behind it. What is a tomboy for instance? Is that a boy stuck in a girl's body just because they don't play with dolls and have tea parties or other such generic ideas? Who's definition of "male" or "female" is supposed to be used for deciding this when so many cultures and people have different ideas of what makes a man a man or a woman a woman?

Again, what a person that calls themselves transgender decides to call themselves or do with themselves in regards to their body is up to them, but I just cannot agree the reasons that are given for it. All I seem to be able to do is ask questions, I am sure everyone here has their own thoughts to voice on this and I am sure I will be responded to with hate for voicing my thoughts but I felt I should voice them all the same in the hopes that I may understand better.

This thread is just about giving ideas that are contrary to commonly held beliefs. Nothing really too serious. Just present how you view things differently.

Something that have been a thorn in my side for the longest period of time. The idea that Goku is a bad person. A lot of people cite his bad parenting, his self centered ways, and his lust for fighting above all else as reasons why he's a bad person. I think they are completely wrong.

I think the entire reality around Goku are bad people, and they try to spin it onto Goku.

A few things to get in order. First, He has had a Brain Injury that was severe enough to change his personality (scroll to number 1). Two, The Flying Nimbus Cloud. You literally can not ride it if you don't have a pure heart. And for those who think that since he grew up, he might have become a jerk... Number three: The Spirit Bomb. An attack that can only be used by someone with a Pure Heart. Which also answers the question why no one else uses the technique.

After his Adoptive Grandfather dies, the next person he meets is Bulma... a woman who tries to shoot him, steal his only keepsake of his Grandfather (the only person who he loved and took care of him out of the kindness of his heart), and then manipulates Goku into coming along to get the dragon balls because she knew she couldn't take it away from him.

From that point on, everyone Goku meets tries to kill him or trick him... or have him fight people who have no issue killing him for their own benefit. The only person that takes him in for any amount of time is Master Roshi. Master Roshi, however, took this as a chance to get a young boy to bring him a hot woman to ogle.

No one tries to teach Goku about the world. About education. I don't even rightly know how he knows how to read. No one actually teaches him about the world around him, they just yell at him when he doesn't know what they had to learn themselves with families and people who cared about them. People only seem to care about him when they need saving.

Goku is a bad father? He doesn't know what family is really. He doesn't even know what a healthy relationship is. Everyone he is friends with has tried to either kill him or use him. There is no exception to this. Even Trunks took out his sword and tested him to see if he could trust the fate of the world on his shoulders.

And Let's be real, if Goku wasn't as strong as Trunks needed him to be, he would have cut Goku up.

Sure, people like Goku. But no one cares about Goku. In terms of his actual well being. People yell that he should be a better father. We're talking about the boy who thought Marriage was a type of food, and that didn't stop his eventual wife from saying "...Oh shit, cut my weird little girl dreams, this boy needs far more help than I thought".

Also, that doesn't stop her from yelling at him to get a job. Doing what? He was trained for what? A Lawyer? A Doctor? A police officer? No one taught him how to be a human, yet everyone gets on his case that he's not like us.

That's the entire world failing Goku. Not the other way around.

Anyway, that's my Devil's Advocate. You got any?

(Edit: Using this post as a jumping off point)

Specter Von Baren:
Hhm. So this is the thread that got Saelune suspended. Hopefully this means they'll think about how they've been acting and shape up and be civil again.

"And they called [Obama] a muslim, a terrorist, they insulted his wife, his daughters ...
And now they want civility?

Okay sure you can have civility if you hop in a time machine, and change the past, so that you deserve civility because until then ... civility is not on the table."

https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/9vvfyw/when_the_us_had_a_president_who_wouldnt_let_a/e9fk5hj/?context=3

Not my reddit post, but a point I agree with.

Civility is a tool of oppression. Civility is what those in power demand of those not in power, for civility helps them stay in power. Civility keeps people from calling out others for their misdeads. Civility worse yet, being used to oppress by people who neglect their own civility.

What civility is there in white supremacy? None. What civility is there in rape? None. What civility is there in murdering a black man who gun nuts could have used as a champion for the 'Good guy with gun' mentality but instead was shot dead, while white mass shooters are treated with the civility of being taken alive? None for those who deserve it anyways.

Civility is why I get punished here while Donald Trump and Republicans and all other right-wingers abuse and oppress me and people like me, and people unlike me, and hell even you. That is the real irony is that Republicans are even oppressing their own, yet their own praise them for the honor to be shat upon by their glorious bigot fascist leader.

It is not civility we should be demanding, but decency, compassion, empathy, and justice. But when 'civility' comes knocking, they want you to put your head down, get in line, while the police out you in local newspapers. Indecent civility is no civility at all.

The Stonewall Riots were not civil, but they were effective.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonewall_riots

When gay rights activists were civil, they were ignored. Because civility is a tool of oppression. A quiet problem is no problem at all.

When LGBT people decided enough with civility, cause all it gets us is handcuffs and abuse, then it became loud and proud and...effective. We're here, we're queer, get used to it. No please, no thank you. A bold, uncivil statement of existence that those 'civil and fair' hetero bigots despised for now making them be aware that we exist.

A war, ironically called the 'Civil War' was even less civil than that! A war for the very humanity of a huge chunk of the American population, well, as far as one side was concerned, for the other side, the CONFEDERATES, did not even view Africans as people, but as property, as cattle. What civility is there in that? None. Ironic now that the two sides that opposed each other, the Republicans and the Confederates, are now the same damn side. Though if you look at the sides of the states, you will notice a pattern.

What civility did Hitler show the world? None. Should people have been civil to him? I mean, he was the legal ruler of Germany, and you never dare speak ill of those in power, you must be civil! But Hitler was not civil. He like so many others, dehumanized, reduced. I guess you don't need to be civil to people when you don't view them as people, hm.

Anyways, here is hundreds of instances of Trump being uncivil.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/01/28/upshot/donald-trump-twitter-insults.html?action=click&module=RelatedCoverage&pgtype=Article?ion=Footer

Civility is a tool of oppression. Chains meant to keep the oppressed bogged down. 'Do as I say, not as I do'.

Essentially Razorfist claims the FBI as of recent times is inexorably corrupt and far outlived its original mandate and purpose and long overdue for dissolution. And of course he shows me a bunch of images of website articles (without showing which website it is exactly or linking his sources, and said article list itself as an opinion.)

But still I want to know what other people have to say about this topic of whether the FBI today is corrupt and what not?

Costs less if you buy with gold, but do you keep the game if you no longer have gold? That's not how "free" gold games work. Stop the gold subscription, you don't keep the game.

So we have a few people on here who might trot out this term a bit too often.

But the response fascinates me. It doesn't come to a discussion on whether the words that 'racist' was applied to was actually racist. Or different interpretations of the word racist.

No, it becomes an all out brawl on shutting down the opposition without thinking about their position. Usually in that same discussion, someone points out how the word shuts down conversations (which is correct) while simultaneously shutting down the person who uses the word racist. And the latter learns absolutely nothing other than everybody is a hypocrite.

PS. I think this site is actually much better with trigger words like racist. There are many worse places out there. But it still happens.

Also, discussion on what you think is/not racist would interest me.
