    ...actually this art is based upon a scene from one of the novels. You haven't gotten that far yet I wager, but I'm sure you'll recognize it when you do.


    (Also, the Manticore school is a video game only addition.)

    (Mm, I was trying to go based off the medallion.)


    Yeah... haven't gotten that far yet. Say third chapter of A Time of Contempt

    Well, you still got a long way to go then. I better not spoil it. :P

    So, not too long ago my friend flipped his fucking shit and went on a 20 minute rant.


    And I think it makes sense.


    It started about when he was younger and had to go to a school with a metal detector. There had been no current violence as far as I'm assuming, but the school was public and in the middle of a ghetto.


    This then morphed onto the topic of racism.


    He explained that, just because someone has the skin tone of an African or the eyes of an Asian, if they were born in America and didn't have to gain citizenship from coming from the other country nor was culture kept, then what makes them an Asian-American or African-American if all they have are ties via their genetics? Why label themselves as such, making themselves a minority when if they were an American, they would be no different from any other American? They wouldn't BE a separated minority. Even though I'm white, I'm not calling myself a European-American even though the standard "American" is usually white.


    To each their own, however, considering you can't post opinions on the internet without someone trying to prove you wrong for no bloody reason.

    im second generation American, Hispanic, but under Texas law surprisingly Hispanics are labeled white

    Because oftentimes a certain amount of cultural pride comes along with such a label. Those belonging to a certain culture that are nonetheless born in the United States may wish to hold onto aspects of their genetic culture; a Japanese-American may prefer contemporary Japanese fashion over contemporary American fashion, a Caribbean-American may prefer Caribbean foods over American foods, a Chinese-American may prefer Chinese celebration dates over American celebration dates, and so on.


    There is more to these labels than mere genetics; cultural ties are carried over from the previous generations, which, when intermingled with American customs, create a way of thinking that is, on average, different from the way that people without those cultural ties think. Consider the phenomenon of the Asian-American "Tiger Mom," or the difference between classical Southern Caucasian-American and African-American cultures and outlooks.


    Unfortunately, even if these people were to drop their labels and disregard their cultures in favor of American homogeneity, there are still socioeconomic stereotypes that classify certain subgroups as being more prone to specific actions, not only because of the cultures that they are apparently a part of, but the places where they are most likely to live. Even if African-Americans abandoned their culture, for instance, it would still be known that they are more likely to live in crime-heavy areas, and hence, it would still be believed that they are more likely to commit crimes than someone else of their social status, regardless of whether or not that is true on an individual level, or true in social tiers that are not impoverished.


    In short, one cannot simply throw away their current label and become merely "American." Not only would they have to unlearn several generations of conditioning that is rather different from others Americans, regardless of their social subset, they would also have to forget cultural cues given to them by their surroundings and family members. The rest of society, meanwhile, would be required to throw out similar viewpoints of these people, in order to complete the homogenization process. Everyone would have to forget everything about everyone that they had been taught about other social groups since the beginning of their lives, and reassess their own actions and respective moralities to boot.


    And that's borderline impossible.

    Isn't it the best thing...


    When you walk into a class for the first time extremely early, don't know anyone, and end up being the only person sitting alone?


    I fucking love small classes at the beginning of the second semester.

    Warning: Classes starting back up tomorrow so I might be a bit slow to respond. (Might.... x3)

    oh, that's a shame. I was finally getting around to starting that 1x1 you requested. heck, I drew your character.
    StoneWolf18
    God, why my friends said "Hey stone, come play Leauge! It'll be fun once you get into actual PVP games."


    Mmmm, but bots don't pull three-man ganks. >.>

    Heh, I know the feel. I used to play LoL myself but quit because of the abundance of toxic assholes. I play Battlerite (another MOBA type game) now because, among other reasons, the chat is off be defualt and since it's an arena game with small maps, ganking kinda isn't possible.

    I just saw the interest check you posted. 


    But while the rp does still not get me interested (we talked about that and you said "AMI DO YOUR STUPID SHIT OUTSIDE OF MY INTEREST CHECK", which is why i profile post this), i really love the look of it. The coding, i mean by that. Can you maybe help me understand how to make my stuff look that nice? With borders and stuff?
