One of the roles of government is to protect its citizens from threats international and domestic, such as natural disasters.

Trying to equate that with "free everything" is asinine.

is it only regressive when it's not in your favor? this country was literally founded on identity politics, and you seem to take issue with those who feel like they got the short end of the stick in representation.

why can't we be included? why draw the line at people of color?

I just want you to pick one: is it or is it not ok to swap characters' races?

Because most of the times white characters are white because it's the default race to be. So their race generally isn't notable or relevant to the character.

How is Daimo's race relevant to his character


doesn't matter. there is an opportunity for an Asian to get cast, and that looks great for American progression. less people feeling alienated because more would feel included.

why's this a problem?

Because identity politics is a cancerous worldview and saying it's ok to replace one race but none else is regressive. That's all.

But please tell me how the black actress is a good fit for the ginger character with freckles but Ed isn't for a guy who's half white.

Your argument isn't making sense using Obama. He's mixed but considered black. Hellboy character is mixed but should be considered white? Wut?

Obviously Ed Skrein doesn't resemble Obama, but he resembles Daimio well enough to play him.

Using race as a reason for why he shouldn't play him makes no sense.

They CAN limit how much a person can buy per visit, you know. Heck, apple does it for every major release and so you'll see people every day for a week or two buying the max amount to resell to people in China at a profit.

Apple Stores don't sell their iPhones in the middle of the worst natural disaster in US history, and Best Buy doesn't have the sort of system to be able to limit product in as controlled a fashion.

Saying that character isn't white is like saying Barack Obama isn't black.

"Are you racist?"

"Ugh, what uh, I don't even know, stop with these questions!! WAAH"

There is no right answer to "are you racist" when asked by a leftist. Saying you aren't puts you on the defensive, as if there were merit to asking a random person if they were a racist to begin with. Also, there are those crazies who insist that ALL white people are racist, and that denying being racist means you're a liar and a racist.

When I sit down face to face with someone, conversation is more natural. Terms are more easily defined. The feedback is immediate. There is a social expectation of some politeness or at least constitution. Not always, but you get my point.

99% of conversation here always is someone misrepresenting someone's point. It's more semantics than actual debate as a hundred post topic has 3 posts of coherent thought, and 97 posts of two idiots taking things out of context.

Also, the level of generalization that occurs in a message board format is too much to handle. A lot of these topics require a massive understanding of so many underlying assumptions. Inevitably, someone in the "audience" isn't familiar with these assumptions and then the conversation gets sidetracked.

You seem to be doing a bit of generalizing yourself. No, not all debates on here are like that.

And just because flame wars do occur doesn't mean points are being ignored and evidence isn't used.

Of course it was. Everyone knows this, but some do not want to admit it. They do not want people aligned with their beliefs to be called out. It must only be the Trump supporters, alt-right, or some "tag-along" hate group.

No, it's because when there are literal nazis walking around condemning them swiftly and unequivocally takes priority over calling out political rivals.

When Antifa is behaving more violently than 999/1000 Nazis, there's nothing wrong with putting them with the other trash.
