Tried to load up Cossacks: European Wars: Back to War due to a previously posted meme that made me want to play it again, but it has some compatibility issues with Windows 7(that only get worse the higher the version you go).


And Cossacks 3 launches in nearly another 2 weeks.

Air CHina is facing heavy criticism in the UK for being racist.

This is their travel advice for London:
"London is generally a safe place to travel, however precautions are needed when entering areas mainly populated by Indians, Pakistani, and / or black people. We advise tourists not to go out alone at night, and females always to be accompanied by another person when travelling."
Maybe the BLM London movement should go protest on a runway in China. I'm sure British Airways will be happy to offer them a free charter flight there.

Earlier this year, in may, China also faced heavy criticism for this washing powder commercial:

EDIT: am I a terrible person because that commercial made me laugh nearly as hard as it made me cringe?

The Chinese did nothing wrong

Given Brexit... I'd just about give the same advice... Not because a Indian will attack you... but an anti-foreigner will.

I love Asian racism. I'm sure on some purely intellectual level they understand that it's offensive, but they don't have it ingrained in them on the gut level, so they wind up doing offensive stuff by accident over and over, it's so innocent, in a way.

Tfw every time I go to harrow tens of thousands of Indian men shout UKIP LAW FOR UK and throw lemons at me until I break down and cry. Don't go to London, it is a desolate hellhole of ANTI-FOREIGNERS who want pure Indian London forever

Not...really? There's nothing accidental about it, it's very explicit. Some of the Chinese reactions I've seen to black people rival the most cross-burning meth-addicted Mississippi backwoods towns.

I know. I just wanted to fit in how much of a pit of misery Brexit dug up that could have justified such remarks...

If... you know... it wasn't because China is racist... and kind of insane...

BUT of course to quote another thread: China is the most diverse and culturally sensitive culture ever! I mean they have Tibetans and we all know China treats Tibet with the upmost love and care...

[MetalSlimeHunt]

This is why I hate being post-jumped, everybody thinks I'm talking to them. Damn you, quote system.

[martinuzz]

For every official state visit China makes to the Netherlands (or any country for that matter), they make sure to agree first that the host country will not mention Tibet, or they cancel their visit. It's very .. sensitive, still.

Chinese state visits are about the only time that our government censors protestors. Last time the CHinese were here, there were pro-Tibetian protestors near the embassy. The police built opaque walls around them, so that the Chinese delegation would not see them.

If someone can say this, they don't really know much about history for the whole damn region. There's a lot of ingrained racism there too.

Pit of misery dug up by Brexit? Hahaha how do you justify this insanity

If... you know... it wasn't because China is racist... and kind of insane...

Now you're slinging mud at Chinese too m8, them's disappearing words

All organs treated exceptionally well fam

You know, it just clicked for me but the policy of organ harvesting in the PRC suddenly looks like a terrible idea even from a pragmatic standard. You're taking them from people with a greater likelihood of drug abuse and disease.

I wonder how well that's checked for...

"doctor, this donor liver is .. exceptionally big.."
"Oh that just means it's extra good! Go ahead and put it in"

Heh. I just finished World War Z the other day and this struck a chord.
