It’s interesting, but when you go all the way back to the Ancient Greeks, South Med’s have a history of sort of fetishizing blacks. We would feature often in their artworks and there were even epics and dramas written about Ethiopians.

Racism against black africans IS an ongoing problem worldwide.

Yep! And 2-13 would all basically be the same game but with different characters on the box.

Isn’t the wage gap larger at the wealthier end of the spectrum, where people can actually negotiate their pay( and thus more bias can creep in)? At the other end, there is no negotiation, you just take whatever the employer is offering.

I doubt this. The US is the most hyper-sexualized nation in the world. However, we are just big and ideologically diverse enough that there will always be prudes, dissenters and fun crushers.

How is it not time travel?

I don’t know, but for me the time travel meddling is helping to make this show interesting again. But then again, I’m a sci-fi geek so I’ve been having fun trying to figure out how hearttree.net works.

Underground, with no great views, no thank you. I’ll choose a tall tree over a dark cave any day.

Racist against whom? Being a black seperatists doesn’t make you a racist. Removing oneself from oppression doesn’t make you a racist, it makes you rational.

Yet, I bet you still pay taxes, supporting our massive murder machine military. Great!

Yes, because we must be fond of everyone people we admire admire, right?

Yeah, and she did so because Bin Laden opposed a government that has murdered for more than him. Let’s not be hypocrites. Did you pay your taxes during the Bush regime?

Are you supportive of the American government?

That’s made up monkey poo but out by the sensationalist white media.

19th century London had a lot of POC. It was the center of a vast empire that included millions of black and brown people.

Poor whites were still better than blacks in the south.

Say what you want, but to do what he did takes balls the size of pluto to pull off. It’s also pretty presumptuous, arrogant and naive. But still, ballsy as a middle aged archaeologist taking on a two ton rolling stone spheroid.

If you are anything like your countrymen I bet racism is worse in your home country, wherever it may be, because you don’t talk about racism. You just bury your head in your butt like cowards.

You’re clearly projecting here.

So what, the movies never completely capture how novel characters are described. Katniss in HG is supposed to dark haired and swarthy. Did you complain about them getting the pale, light hair J Lawrence. James Bond is supposed to have black hair yet Daniel Craig is blond. And Elba is pretty tough looking.
