You're being needlessly pedantic and you're trying to convince me of something that I already accept: race is a social construct that doesn't scientifically exist. I know that. However, when I want to talk about Indian people looking more similar to each other than American people it's kind of hard to simply say that without using race. Under your system I can only refer to every individual ethnic group of India or those of Indian national origin. Neither is what I want to refer to.
Also, since race is a social construct, you are incorrect that Indians must fall under the broader term Asian. They can be considered as Asian when appropriate to the discussion but they can fall under narrower or broader classifications when it is relevant to the discussion.
No, I intentionally used the word race instead of ethnicity. I'm well aware that India is diverse and has thousands of ethnic groups. I used race because many of these groups still share many phenotypical characteristics. In places like America there is more of a physical distinction between people of different races.
So, it's interesting to me that humans can find ways to discriminate even when they look similar (or at least more similar than some other countries). This is probably not even unique to India. I'm sure other racially homogeneous nations experience similar types of discrimination that isn't obvious to outsiders.
It's wild that even when a country is (mostly) racially homogeneous, humans will find the most minute differences (imagined or otherwise) to discriminate.
Cause a lot of indie devs are also idiots when it comes to business decisions. Many (especially solo devs) didn't get into the industry to make boatloads of money; they are often creative types who are passionate about their work.
I heard that in the South every carbonated beverage is a Coke. However, I don't understand how this works practically. If you wanted a Sprite, would you order a Coke-Sprite?
Also Heroin, but Bayer probably is fine with letting that trademark lapse. (Also Aspirin was a Bayer trademark).
I would like them to be required to prominently display their power consumption. I feel like every other household appliance I own makes their energy consumption fairly clear, but I have no idea what kind of energy my fans use. Like it's probably more efficient to turn on every fan in my house all day rather than turn on my AC, but I have no idea if that's true.
But no one is going to make straws to serve only 1% of the population. Accessibility features need to become mainstream (or forced into effect by the government) for it to actually benefit people with disabilities.
I don't know why it bothers me so much given that every GOP candidate is scum. But it especially irks me that Doug Burgum can get a spot in the debates by giving away $20 gift cards to those who donated $1.
For anyone that has tried it, does ratatouille taste good? It looks visually impressive, but the flavors seem kind of basic and there seems to be a lack of starchy carbs.
