This was an awesome, needed article, by the way. The title is just... [kisses fingers like a french chef]

I briefly dated another of her writers back around 2014. He certainly didn’t assault me but he was a scummy, narcissistic monster. I’m not sure what kind of standards she’s using to select folks to work with her, but I can categorically confirm they are not entirely good.

Have you heard of the Clash of Eagles Trilogy? Its Alt. History where the Western Roman Empire doesn’t collapse and ends up discovering the Americas in the 1200s. On of its main sub-stories is the formation of a continental confederacy of Native Americans.

the modern Science which Europeans helped develop was actually based on a lot of stuff that came out during Islamic Golden Age and mostly by Persian Scientists which were kind of like proto-reinesseince men that studied different fields.( The Canon of Medicine written by Avicenna in the 10th century was still used as…

Wait...you’re suggesting that many of the Middle Eastern countries and peoples dislike us not because of our FREEDOMZ but because we colonized them, overthrew democratically elected, and instituted horrible dictators? Nooooooo.

So uhhhh...your argument is that Native Americans who had occasional conflicts and battles between each other were better off being exterminated?

Except that science, math and medicine come from Eastern Civilization and not Western. Europeans we naked covered in blue paint while science and math were being developed in the East.

That’s not to say that the world was a utopia, but yes the vast majority of the world was better off before Europe and the US fucked them over. Native North Americans, South Americans, Africans, Australians, etc. All were far better off before colonialism...

My parents moved to the US from Africa and I literally think about this every day. What if the British hadn’t fucked our shit up?

How nice would it be to have an alt-history where Europe and the US hadn’t fucked over the rest of the world with colonialism and White Supremacy? Then you could actually examine how fucked up their actions have been and the consequences everyone experiences to this day.

No you are the one conflating British and English. Yes Scots and Welsh get pissed off at being called English but they are British. Scots were originally Irish and came to Britain, becoming British - while probably killing most of the indigenous people - then became part of the political unit with the Act of Union…

But you are Welsh right? You identify as Welsh (obviously as per the above)? If I meet you and say oh are you a Brit? You would correct me and say no I’m Welsh wouldn’t you? If you didn’t you would literally be the only Welsh person I have ever met who presented themselves as British.

As someone who is Welsh, we are most definitely British. We’re not English, but we’re British.

Literally are British though. You get that British and ENglish aren’t interchangeable right? That all English people are British but not all British people are English?

Generally British Asian over here refers to South Asians while the Chinese are classed on their own and census data then has ‘other asian’ for those who don’t tick Indian, Pakistani or Bangladeshi.

They could use Rami Malek. He’s cast to play (and sing!) as Freddie Mercury. Also he is charming as fuck, and if he showed up outside my window on a flying carpet I would run away with him in a heartbeat.

Samuel L as the Genie would be fucking awesome.

Something that was glossed over: will Smith is the genie?? Fuck this movie, then. He has no talent and yet keeps on getting cast in these movies. My only hope is the genie is CGIed enough that I don’t have to see the furrowed brow/puppy dog eye look that’s his go to ‘emotional’ face. Pathetic.
