Turns out, closer to the equator, you wind up with a better chance of survival with darker skin

LOL yep

i just mean

are there no aboriginals in africa???

if the definition of aboriginal is pre colonial tribes>????????????????

'Aboriginal' is another way of saying 'natives'

yeah but thtas it

theres still tribes living there

Think of it as 'those who were there first'

aborinigal sounds to me on the same weight as abnormal, so my peer reviewed research here says they are not the originals

Also, turns out Aborigine ISN'T really derogatory, @Timcast , It's etymologically correct.

The best kind of correct

after incorrect

No. Technically is the best kind of correct

but for real

i mean is it racist that we lump all africans together

when there are aboriginal tribes

that still exist in africa

and also developed societies

?????????????????////

Aborigine isn't in common use anymore though because people took issue to it. That's the entire reason the word "aboriginal" exists. So it's kind of derogatory, depending on who you're talking to.

Is it racist to lump all white people together when Alabama exists?

there are a bazillion ethnicities in Africa, but for American activists it's whites vs the world

yeah i like firt nations more

*first

My general rule is to just assume *someone* is going to be offended by what I'm going to say.

And then say it anyway.

Because fuck other people.

Good rule.

Language shouldn't be a minefield.

You shouldn't essentially lose your life due to stepping on the wrong word.

We've got actual minefields for that.

Speaking of minefields, they are much cheaper than walls

Just saying

It could solve the border issue

Moats are even cheaper though

And if you live in the deep south, well shit, your moat automatically comes with attack gators

I'm not saying I call people this, but the term 'Wetback' exists for a reason.

What's a wetback?

They don't call 'em Gatorback, though.
