That also depends which country is “this country”, but ethnically and genetically Egyptians and Greeks are a lot closer than say Greeks and Swedes.

It is immoral to tell Polynesian kids they can’t wear a costume of their own culture because you are worried how white people might act.

You don’t because you can’t. Its immoral to do what you are doing because you let white people force the issue to ensure that only products for white people get to exist. Like what you are championing.

“wearing the skin color of a different race”

Depends where you live. Are Egyptians white? Both are Mediterranean.

That’s not a strawman. “Skin color” costumes that are all white people skin colored is a thing that needs to be addressed.

While it is disturbing to me as a dog lover, they are meat animals in much of the world. I mean, I kill pigs just so I have something to go with already dead cow on my burger. I can’t really say that is a worse reason to harm an equally intelligent animal than my own pig killing for a brief trip to flavor country.

Thank god we have a white saviour named Beth keeping Polynesians safe.

Even if its a repeat issue, it may not be the same people. With 30+ men to 1 woman she would be having this conversation a lot. That is definitely a problem with the department, but then she wanted the staff disciplined upon her return, while they had not done anything really of note other than mention something which…

Was anything they did disrespectful? She raised an issue, they apologized, ensured it wouldn’t happen again. That seems like respect. Or did she mean the other kind of respect?

Sure fine, but that means you did understand it and it wasn’t misleading.

China is literally just doing what America does or has done to try and claim its “place in the sun”. The world really isn’t that different from the 19th century these days.

Did you read the message Tesla makes you read each time you try to enable it? Read that and tell me with a straight face that you would be confused (you, not some theoretical hillbilly somehow driving a $100k car)

Uh huh. Few major problems with your thoughts.

If they start trying to disable manual driving I’ll oppose that too.

I didn’t agree to be part of letting a lot of people on the road with poor driving abilities either. But there they are, driving drunk into minivans. I’d rather a drunk driver’s car automatically stop him from rear ending my family some of the time rather than zero percent of the time.

Oh man, I wish I was Elon, then I could just retire with my billions and not give a fuck about the world. But as it is I have to worry about people like you trying to censor my life because you think you are a better judge of my life than me. If I want to use autopilot that is my call, not yours to make on my behalf.…

Like the term “Safety” on a firearm you mean? You know how much sympathy I have for adults who discharge a firearm because they didn’t understand what it did before touching it? Zero.

I wonder if they could launch from a barge in international waters (legally, ignoring technical hurdles)

That would be immoral to go “hey, statistically this cuts down on deaths, but it gives us bad press if an idiot decides to ignore what we say and kill himself, so you have to die in a firy wreck so our PR department is happy”.
