Gods, what. What. Reading manwha-thing. SUDDENLY NIGHTWISH SHOUTOUT! (Warning: Cleavage of note, though nothing else.) The field, it is too the left. Things have emerged from it.

Sadly, the rest of the team doesn't seem to continue the naming pattern. Still. What the blazes, Korea(?)?

I like the misspell. Clearly, in this case manwha stands for 'MAN, WHAT THE FUCK?!'.

Teehee, Finns are Mongols:

This isn't exactly news, y'know. Take a look at their language. It only computes when compared to something from Asia.

[Digital Hellhound]

Something's gone terribly wrong with that projection of Scandinavia. And most of the map, to be honest.

I am insulted. As if our language computes with Asia! We're isolated and proud, damnit.

EDIT: Woo, a double post. It's been so long!

But what about your oppressed Udmurt and other Uralic brethren in the Urheimat?

[Frumple]

Anything called "urdmurt" can safely have its existence ignored and/or denied. Seriously, who wants to claim association with something that sounds like a freakish amalgamation of digestive functions?

[Digital Hellhound]

They're also isolated and proud. We're all very isolated and proud together.

If you look at Europe, you'll notice Mongoloid Magyars and... Turks in Thrace, but not in Anatolia. I have no idea what's going on there. I gotta love that Greece, in any case. And for some bizarre reason, Madagascar is Aryan.

[Lord Shonus]

Just how old IS that map? I thought the three-race paradigm had fallen out of scientific favor a long time ago.

Gotta love it when racism isn't even consistent.

[Dutchling]

Guise, it's not racism if it says "negro".

Also, are that Mongols in Sardinia?

[Lord Shonus]

That map is using a very old but originally valid scientific theory. There is absolutely nothing "racist" about it, unless you want to claim that you can't break humanity down to broad racial categories at all. I'm simply pretty sure that the old aryan/negroid/mongolid theory was replaced a very long time ago.

At this point it's beginning to look more like a CK2 game than anything.

As far as I understand it, the theory stressed the inferiority of the Mongoloid/Negroid races et cetera - I'm pretty sure that's to be considered racist as fuck.

[Lord Shonus]

No. That was a popular extension of the theory to justify colonialism and slavery. The three-race theory was simply a matter of categorization.

[Fniff]

I don't get this popular trend by advertisers to say "Real [product], real people". It's like it's implying that at other competiting brands, the shopkeepers there are actually androids.
