I just saw a commercial celebrating (and rightfully so) the first Latino NFL quarterback/coach. This is pretty normal in the US. We celebrate the first minority, gay, woman, etc who get appointed to high up positions or accomplish something noteworthy.

I had a thought, though. Does Mexico celebrate their first Mexican-Vietnamese Senator? Does Korea celebrate their first Irish-Korean all star first baseman?

I honestly don’t know if this is just a US thing or if it’s normal everywhere.

Meritocracies while not new has been popularize by the U.S.

Also the mediums which push and pay attention to these narratives have increased.

Why are you so obsessed with race, bro? Just shut up and clap for [race issue] and stop framing everything to be about race.

Just cause pigs swim in shit doesn't mean you should join them.

I hate when they do this because they are low key saying that white people are the standard.

Only when there are real tensions will people bend themselves over backwards to not look affected.

All this BLM shyte is just to drag everyone down to their own level of misery. If I can't be successful, at least I can try to curb your success.

It's all resentment masquerading as compassion.

It's just US, Europe, and Australia/New Zealand that are doing this ridiculous stupid shit. The rest of the known world doesn't give a fuck.

Having a thought can be a dangerous thing. Hitler had a thought too and his wasn't so pleasant.

Coors is a huge sponsor for the NFL so they had to make some connection.

Is this not a legitimate topic? I’m confused.

thought the masturbation thread was a legit topic, yet here we are

seems a tad provocative for these new standards that started today, so figured it would be locked.

I hadn’t noticed the masturbation topic was locked. Was it self-inflicted by the OP?

The countries you've mentioned aren't really "melting pots" and they aren't very tolerant towards some groups.

Countries like the USA contain many different races/sexualities. By doing these ceremonies you're telling these minorities that they're being recognized.

Which is a good thing.

That’s what DMs are for.
