    Do Native Americans prefer to be called just that, or “Indians?” I heard that “Indians” is wrong because that label was due to a mistake of Christopher Colombus thinking he made it to India, but I’m not sure because Native Americans have called themselves that. Is saying “Indians” for Native Americans outdated?

      That’s a good request. Spanish is interesting sounding, I wish I understood it.

      On other non-english culture channels, what podcasts and television programs are good for learning Chinese? Leftist ones would be nice for me too.

    A few times when I’ve been out walking my dog, I’ve bumped into this one lady. My pup loves her dog but she gives me off vibes, but I find myself not giving the benefit of the doubt to white people by default these days (mostly because they do the same to me, suspect me of things just because I exist), and I’m trying to be better about that.

    Anyway, I avoid her dog because they have a neck cone and my boy has a tendency to be very obnoxious and jump all over other dogs in excitement, so I go the other way. I call out to her and tell her that and she laughs.

    As I’m stopping to pick up his poop, I see her coming back around with her dog, down the street I turned into to avoid her - turns out she lives there, no big deal. But as I’m continuing my walk, she’s back out again as quickly as she went in and following me. I try to ignore her but eventually we bump into each other.

    We chat a little bit. Her dog has a growth on his head, gonna cost a ton, everything is so expensive these days, yada yada yada. And then out of nowhere, she brings up her dad who recently passed away, he was 88. Hm, a bit random okay. He was in the service, she says. (I’m brown skinned and could be mistaken for someone from the middle east, though I’m not.) Goes on about how things were different in his day.

    Then she asks me “where I’m from”, a question I hate because it’s immediately othering, I have a British accent, I was born here - so I laugh and tell her that, tell her I moved to this borough 15 years ago. She goes on to tell me she hates London. Lots of legitimate reasons to dislike London, but I’m seeing a pattern. I try to direct it to people staying to themselves, complain about being so distrustful now. She looks me in the eyes and says “well, we only have one life,” hands in her pockets protectively, as if I’m going to mug her.

    88

    Army service

    Where are you from

    I hate London

    Defending being suspicious

    Is this cracker trying to signal to me that she is a Nazi? Am I crazy or seeing signs that aren’t there? This could of course just be a completely innocuous conversation and my brain might just be broken. What do you think?

    After delving into the darkest and most well hidden depths of the white western mind, I’ve finally discovered the true Soul of the western being, the real animus of the west…

    spoiler

    They all wanna be Arab

    Now don’t just react, think it through very carefully, connect the dots, look at the history and SEE the patterns and be amazed at how bizarrely plausible it all becomes

    It’s fucking weird that anyone wants people of our race gone just because of being a race, all over some dumb race conspiracies. Sometimes this fact is in the back of my mind, sometimes it’s at the front. I woke up and this was all brand new to me for a quick few seconds, and now I’m remembering it’s a normal part of surviving American life. Real damper on the mood.

    Got my large tupper carne de soya I just made, got my pot of beans cooking in the crockpot and enough bread and oats and soy milk and peanut butter to last me the week. Truly I’m living like a big shot, this meal prep stuff is worth it, just need to wash some dishes and snooze the night away doggirl-sleep

        Sure sure, first make sure it’s got enough liquid. Keep an eye on it every three hours or so with legumes they will suck up a lot of water while they cook so make sure they always covered and a bit more just in case you forget. I always cook them on high and rarely use low for making meals besides beans like stews honestly giving the veggies a quick sauteed on a pan with spices helps before you put them in the pot. Save the salting for afterwards and what I do is either mix the salt with some water before pouring it in at the end.

          I think i want to cook red beans in it. Not kidney beans, but the red beans popular among Asian people. I’m unsure if they’re called azuki beans? Is azuki a different bean than a same-looking red bean, or is there just one Asian red bean and it’s azuki beans?

          • Is azuki a different bean than a same-looking red bean, or is there just one Asian red bean and it’s azuki beans?

            Azuki… the one used as red bean paste in desserts? I think they’re all the same, if Wikipedia says it - though ofc, not to be confused with kidney beans

            Vigna angularis, also known as the adzuki bean (Japanese: 小豆, Hepburn: azuki), azuki bean, aduki bean, red bean, or red mung bean, is an annual vine widely cultivated throughout East Asia for its small (approximately 5 mm or 1⁄4 in long) bean. The cultivars most familiar in East Asia have a uniform red color, but there are white, black, gray, and variously mottled varieties.

    Read about the time WW2 in a British pub US soldiers were unhappy they weren’t segregated from the black soldiers. This resulted in brawls where the white British soldiers sided with the black soldiers hahaha

      If I recall, even Aussie soldiers didn’t know what the deal with those US soldiers were, and some sided with Black soldiers against their white bigoted counterparts.

      Edit: Aussies, if you ask me, were the ones who put the White Australia policy. So, I guess it’s difference between relatively casual racism and then competitive racism (Amerikkka)
