Support NeoGAF

[DynamiteCop!]

Hear me out..

We live on a planet, we live in a world and population and race transcends borders. Just like you wouldn't look at the sales of a console in only the United States; race shouldn't be viewed the same way either.

Globally Asians make up 55% of the worlds population, obviously there are racial sub-groups among this population like Indian's and so on and so forth, but they are afforded minority status all the same. Just as a global comparative black people are 14% of the worlds population. Care to guess what white people are? 16%, so why are white people not viewed as a minority?

 

[Taxexemption]

Don't ask for anything related to race to make sense. It won't. For you see there is a scourge of leftist communists about, and the CIA have infiltrated them and made them pre-occupied with race. Our elites are smarter than you think, and they have infiltrated the left and are making them look and act stupid to justify a future crackdown on leftists. We will have a neo-conservative dream where gay interracial couples will defend their marijuana fields with fully automatic weapons, and the path towards this involves the CIA infiltrating leftist organizations in order to steer them to be stupid. This is accomplished quite easily, they are sheep.


That's right, if you are part of Antifa or BLM, I am openly calling you a sheep, and am informing you that you have been subverted by your own government who has convinced you with argument to act stupid so that when they beat your ass stupid everyone cheers them on.

Because Marxism grows by fomenting strife between different classes of society, then pointing to that as a reason why we need more Marxism. In the past, this was based on income and status; now it’s based along racial lines.

Point being that the wider truth, or even how different minorities in different countries (Uyghurs) are treated, is of secondary concern. It’s about taking down and subverting western cultures.

 

[brap]

W-wypipo are the majority in the us!!!

 

[Shantae]

W-wypipo are the majority in the us!!!

I mean, that's the truth, isn't it?

I always thought the term minority was a regional thing depending on where you are from. Foreigners would be a minority in a place like Japan for instance. I'm sure white people are minorities in a place like India.

 

[MudoSkills]

Almost all (if not actually all) English languauge forums/social media are dominated by Americans because there are so many of you motherfuckers.

The default assumption is that everyone is American, and in America white people are a majority of the population.

 

[Dr.Guru of Peru]

Uhhhhh
Seriously?
Well I guess it’s better you ask this here than in person to someone who will undoubtedly look down on you for the rest of your life after this.

Asians are not considered a minority in Asia.

Rent free I guess. Just because somebody posts in english doesn't mean they're american. Looks like you just need something to cry about.

 

[MudoSkills]

I'm not mad, it's just a fact. Most cultural references/pop culture is US centric.

 

[RoadHazard]

It's about being a minority in a certain context, of course. Asians are a minority in the US, white westerners are a minority in Japan or Kenya.

Some people seem to view black or Asian people as minorities no matter the context though, and yeah, that's just not true.

 

[JordanN]

It goes against the narrative.

This is a Canadian city but they [white] are still not considered minorities.
Edit: And this was from the last census 4 years ago. You can bet it's now 90% for "visible minority".

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Because idiots who cry about how everything is American-centric are, themselves, horribly American-centric in their world view.

You are kinda admiting to the bias here, because you’re assuming.

 

[DeafTourette]

In the US, white people are the majority. Everyone else is a minority. England, it's the same thing. Canada... Same thing.

In Africa, every non-black person is a minority for the whole continent... Even from country to country. Not sure about Egypt...

In Every Asian country, every racially non-asian is a minority. I have a black woman friend who's brother lives in China... He's a minority there, too, as are a lot of other expats.

Minority is regional when people say it. Globally, yes, white people are minorities on the world stage... But MOST people aren't talking about globally.

 

[Blade2.0]

If you live in China you are the minority. Umm, I don't understand this question...

 

[Goro Majima]

Even outside the US, I feel like when white people are actually discriminated against then woke people will say it’s justified because “colonialism”.

Because numbnuts think everything should adhere to USA standards.

No doubt a pair of White liberal arts majors spending their last dimes on a trip to Vietnam (trying to figure out if Vietnamese people live in the jungle surrounded by booby traps) will land in Hanoi and claim the local population of 95%+ Asian are a bunch of dumbass minorities, while thinking in their head they can rule this country as a smarter richer twosome from the suburbs of Portland.

 

[TaySan]

This is why context is important.

[eot]

There's only one of me so I'm a minority

 

[SentientStone]

I think global culture is in transition so perhaps what you say will become true. But the thing is global culture is heavily influenced by Hollywood and American media so ya...

Asians are a minority of America.
Whites are a minority of the world. Lol

Same reason why black people is considered unlucky when they have

Huge shlongs

They don't need to stay under the hot sun to get some colour
They can jump and play basketball

They are a minority in South Africa as well, have you ever heard a leftist cry about the white minority rights in South Africa? And do you think you ever will?

The term is only used when it fits them.

 

[Grinchy]

A majority is only a problem when the majority is white.

 

[Riastrad]

"Minority" = term invented to make oppressors/invaders appear as the victims.

 

[triplestation]

53% CHINESE?

i had no idea canada has such a large chinese population

 

[Down With Yoga Pants!]

Racism is a manufactured "problem". It didn't even exist as a concept until fairly recently. The ruling class invented it as a means to divide and conquer host populations. There's really no logic behind any of it except its use as a tool to inflame and brainwash people with.

 

[King of Foxes]

Its not so much a question of if whites can be a minority, its more than when whites are the minority (south africa comes to mind) the lefties dont extend the same level of sympathy because to them whites are evil.

Just look at how they dismiss the black crime rates not just in america but any majority white country, its white peoples fault because of racism.

And then they just blatantly ignore the absolute shit hole the majority of africa is or at best blame colonialism.

Any thread on old-gaf and now reset, as soon as it was clarified the killer/terrorist whatever was not white, the thread died. There were actual, not joke posts along the lines of "please dont be muslim, please dont be muslim" every time the relgion of peace ran a truck over a bunch of people.

It is now at the point on reset that they cut the shit out and just say in the titles "white person/karen does x,y,z to BLACK person"

it has never been about minorities, just shitting on white people

 

[Azurro]

53% CHINESE?

i had no idea canada has such a large chinese population

Vancouver is basically Hong Kong 2.0, the rest of Canada not so much.

 

[notseqi]

Major contributions and developments in industrial and trade sectors have been made by whites, so white=majority has been, at least in the economical sense, the de-facto state.
Even if the Asian population was 'the majority' now it would be in 'their' best interest to try and perpetuate the white=majority standpoint.

This is no judgement on the pros and cons of how that was achieved, we all know how that discussion goes.

 

[Keihart]

i bet most asians are in asia, so....i bet whites could be minorities if they formed a sub culture in asia...

 

[Riastrad]

lol, Black people have such inflated self-esteem sometimes.

What they think they look like.

Reality:

Continent of manlets, average male height 5'3-5'6

While I agree that black people can have an inflated self-esteem that stems from cultural differences, reasons for physical wellness or appearance (height+body composure, excluding 'beauty') or lack thereof in countries where black people are appear rather clear. Malnourishment in important growth phases for example.

I don't think you attaching those pictures is appropriate or fair.

edit: one word word too much

There is only one race: human.

But yeah. Caucasians are a minority worldwide if you think of it but since the other countries weren't as smart to dominate the landscape, they jelly.

 

[thefool]

Depends where you live. Nobody thinks asians are minorities in asia nor blacks in africa.

 

[Super Mario]

lol, trying to have a discussion with facts about race. Go visit the Titania McGrath thread to find out what is racist.

Asians are also not considered a minority in most American measurements. Minority means "oppressed people of color" for political reasons. Asians are the top-performing group in America. We don't ever talk about that Asian priviledge though

Yeah, they always outrank whites in America, and also in Brazil.

I'm currently studying data analytics and our group's final work is analyzing the IT work field in Brazil and its evolution through the years.

Asians are a small group overall (in population size) but they outrank everyone in salaries. And one of the guys in our group is Japanese, we had a good laugh about it.

because i don't live in a one world government which doesn't exist, i live in America god damnit

Indeed they aren't, nor do they want to put it in a global context.

Their aim is to solely shape western countries to their interests, hence why this crap about associating majorities with "systemic oppression" and vague definitions of "privilege" only happens in western countries.

In all other countries the society at large would tell these people to shove off and laugh at them.

Howard Stern did that once in his show where he had people with tiny penises come and show their junk and one of them was black.

Case closed!

 

[BrettWeir]

In the US, white people can never be considered a minority, even if they were a minority! You know. Because in the 1800's, there were black slaves that black people sold.

 

[Fbh]

As far as I know when people talk about "minorities" it's always in the context of a specific place.
The fact there's more chinese in China on the other side of the world doesn't relate too much to how chinese people are treated in the US, or Europe, or South America, etc

Most of this is true but in modern world intelligence is more important than physical aspects and white people and east asians (and A. Jews are the best) have much higher IQ scores than sub saharans. IQ of blacks in america is hogher but only above average people can compete with average of whites and asians.

www.sciencedirect.com

Wicherts, Dolan, and van der Maas (2009) contend that the average IQ of sub-Saharan Africans is about 80. A critical evaluation of the studies presented by WDM shows that many of these are based on unrepresentative elite samples. We show that studies of 29 acceptably representative samples on tests other than the Progressive Matrices give a sub-Saharan Africa IQ of 69; studies of the most satisfactory representative samples on the Standard Progressive Matrices give an IQ of 66; studies of 23 acceptably representative samples on the Colored Progressive Matrices give an IQ of 71. The international studies of mathematics, science, and reading give a sub-Saharan African IQ of 66. The four data sets can be averaged to give an IQ of 68 as the best reading of the IQ in sub-Saharan Africa.

So like ~70 average IQ. And....



This topic is super not popular but science confirmsit so why should i care.

 

[GymWolf]

why people are responding in a serious way to my joke post??

 

[JordanN]

When you go out or at your workplace you see more asians or "white"?

Nope, that chart is completely accurate.
Go to the Vancouver area in British Columbia and it's actually majority Asian.

Similarly, I live in the Greater Toronto Area. South Asians (i.e India/Pakistan) make up the majority. You only see white people when you go north of Ontario in places like Sudbury or Thunder Bay,

Edit: And keep in mind, that census was done in 2016. It's even more noticeable today than 4 years ago.
