Fairly certain no country is "100% white".
That's because "White" as a concept has always been invented to be nebulous and exclusionary. It's not a real group.
yeah it's funny seeing Poland in that list since for a hot while we were not considered "real white" and were "slavic", same story as what the Irish went through. From what i'm reading at some point we were even considered terrorists in the US! (because one Polish dude killed some president), and the same scare tactics as what happens around Muslim people today were engaged
history is so fun /s
Yeah, whiteness is all about who isn't white so it doesn't make sense for it to exist without people who aren't. The Irish, Italians, and Jews are all just some demographic shifts away from being not-white.
Does the same go for black then too?
Diversity is not our strength. Ridiculous levels of natural resources is.
And being virtually impossible to attack, with a friendly country up north, poor countries down south, and oceans to the east and west.
Porque no los dos?
I don’t know, natural resources are also abundant in Canada or Australia? I think a combination of high salaries and constant influx of highly talented and competitive immigrants (to study at U.S. universities) from other countries is a natural contributor to U.S. economic and intellectual strength. The students who come to study here end up staying to work, which works out well for companies looking for highly skilled workers. That all said, if you’re not a certain type of immigrant or worker, living in the U.S. is super hard and economically trying—increasing equity is something that all countries should attempt to resolve.
Australia's mostly desert. A huge portion of Canada is an extremely thin layer of soil over solid bedrock which makes farming pretty much impossible, and a lot of the rest is tundra. The most important natural resource is arable land and neither Canada nor Australia have much of it.
This guy listing Poland there while I am refusing to travel to USA sightseeing due to personal safety which is not an issue in Poland. Power of country does not directly correlate with standard of living, Russia is the great example where living is shit yet it's still a "superpower"
The chances of you being attacked while sightseeing is virtually zero
Seriously; I've seen several such posts stating a belief that it's unsafe to visit the US, but that's wildly ignoring statistics. The violent crime rate is like half what it was in the 90s and continues its general downward trend, falling further to below the previous bottom in '19. And most of that still stems from gang violence and the like, so it's never near what tourists are doing.
I don't get it; I think people just like acting scared for some reason. Or maybe it's them grasping for a reason to feel superior? People love that kind of thing...
For sure. Sightseeing the US is probably about the same as sightseeing anywhere else, except maybe certain parts of the middle east or Haiti.
Zero or not, person from outside can only know that numbers look worse. Homicide rate alone in the USA is roughly 9 times higher than in Poland. You hear about school shootings every other week as well which doesn't help.
I don't think anyone seriously believes Russia is a superpower any more after their failure to take Ukraine.
yet it’s still a “superpower”
Is it, though?
It's still a nukerpower, at least.
Cool, less traffic
Lmao
Too horny, didn't read
american education is so crap they went from firstworld to borderline second world. lithuania and poland have first world problems (i want one charger for all phones) while idiocracy land counts schoolmassacres, votes the orange and has overall turned into a deranged country. the rural areas have turned into a time capsule of backwardness.
Damn, now I want to fuck it too; it's clearly asking for it.
Zoophilia is a paraphilia in which a person experiences a sexual fixation on non-human animals.
America was only exceptional in that we profited heavily off of WW2. We were one of the only countries whose land was basically untouched and after the war we created a bunch of money and gave that to war ravaged Europe to buy shit from us.
It is much more nuanced than that, but we had been riding that high a couple generations and now all that "prosperity" has been squandered.
yea and The Soviets killed more Nazis
The artist who drew that Eevee appears to go by wanco HT. A higher quality version of Eevee can be found here. Hopefully, this'll save someone else some time.
Hopefully the other guy sees this
I fuck eevee too.
🤝 welcome aboard!
You gotta evolve it into Vaporeon first, TRUST me. I could tell you all about why, but just trust me.
America is nowhere near the most diverse country.
Not even in the top 50...
In what sense?
I would be interested in hearing of any country with the sheer volume of immigrants that the US has from every continent. We have migrants from every European nation, africa (including modern african culture, not just the results of the slave trade and imancipation), asian immigrants, including China, Japan, Veitnamese, Indian, even indigenous peoples as far as Oceania. And every culture is represented in our own, much to the dismay of those that believe our great works came solely from white hands. Our democracy is founded on a melting pot of ideas and inputs, not a euro-centric empire graciously allowing "lesser men" in it's borders.
Wikipedia's page on ethnic diversity ranks the USA at #90 out of 215 countries.
Those are from 2003. Here's some more up to date data (with spreadsheets!): https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/most-racially-diverse-countries
USA is still placed at #90, but the top looks a bit different
It looks like the States is still one of more diverse of the 1st world countries. So I guess that's something. It's tough to beat Africa at that statistic
It's funny because I believe it's Russia that's the most diverse country in the world (in terms of "ethnicities"), mainly because it's so fucking huge
Also, even diverse places in the US are quite segregated.
It depends on if you are speaking about ethnicity, the concept of race, or the diversity of genetics. I guess it also depends if you are talking about the percent of the total population, or just the total amount of ethnic groups living in the state.
America may be racially diverse, or have a large number of different ethnicities living in the country. But when it comes to ethnic and genetic diversity, it's pretty hard to beat just about any country in Africa.
It absolutely is. Wtf are you on
Lmao imagine not thinking that the US is a shithole
I think the idea is the people that believe in white supremacy think the US is the best country.
the average us citizen is living much better than most of the world, that is a very 1st world take.
Yeah keep telling yourself that. The US is a shithole.
I've been to Russia and Poland, it's not 100% white.
Neither are they shitoles. Poland especially is a great place to be. Russia has it's issues, even before the madman in charge went fully berserk, but they are nothing compared to some places like Somalia that deserve the name.
There's a reason that despite it's trash record for human rights, Russia is considered "First world". It's a fairly modern country with access to technology, infrastructure, medicine, etc. most of the world doesn't even have that.
It's pretty on par for European and American living standards outside of the ABHORRENT human rights situation there.
Russia lost 27 million in WW2, i imagine it took take many generations to recover from that. Certainly doesn't help to have a shitty government.
LOL, the majority of Russia is in Asia and consequently the people from there look Asian. Amazing.
I mean, yes the majority of Russia is in Asia. But, the vast majority of the population is located west of the Ural mountains and are ethnically Slavic peoples.
The people in Russia who look Asian are ethnic minorities from east of the Ural mountains, namely of Turkic and Mongolian descent. The vast majority of ethnic Russians treat them like second class citizens.
Argentina is considered white here?
This is why lefties don’t debate conservatives.
Moldova is not even a real country
Cope harder, Americano.
Edit: people who downvoted me can cope harder too.
Well yeah the second comment doesn't have anything unusual about it...
Is there a reason to comment on a universally accepted truth?
Jk, don't fuck animals.
That's a pocket monster, baby.
It's not an animal, it's a Pokémon.
