I’ll save you some time. None is this makes sense, even the detailed explanation. It’s all bullshit. Looks like shit too.
Edit: none of it!!!

I noticed that as well. Xe/ze definitely shares a lot more commonality with he than with she.

How about calculating the colour of each recipe based on ingredients and their proportions?

One, why not show data from those who use they/them? Two, how many people who use xe/ze use that site? If that data is from like 8 people, it shouldn’t really be used.

Looks like pronouns aside we can all agree on one thing: Killin nazis (if you didn’t read that in brad pitts voice read it again)

Again, I'm not saying contrary, just that this post is not evidence for which group is biased. It only shows that at least one of them differs from a hypothetical baseline.
I would be interested in a study or evidence for it. The JK Rowling example is interesting, but is only definitive insofar as it shows the publisher's belief in the statement, but isn't by itself strong evidence that it is true.

I just meant like, they’re all a horrible retelling of the last couple episodes. Like why?

Both are true. There are more male-focused stories, and boys are not taught to care about female-focused stories, and this goes beyond film and television and into books. JK Rowling famously went by "JK" instead of her first name (when she didn't actually have a K middle name) because publishers knew boys were less likely to read a book by a woman.

Well it might be unconstitutional. Race is a protected class and racial discrimination is explicitly forbidden in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
>Everyone is equal and has the right to equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination, especially discrimination based on race, national or ethic origin, color, religion, sex, age, or mental or physical disability. This right does not preclude laws designed to ameliorate disadvantageous conditions that exist because of these factors.
I suppose where it gets messy is that these schools aren't penalizing a specific race like Harvard is, they're boosting 2 other races. Now that last part in the Charter
>This right does not preclude laws designed to ameliorate disadvantageous conditions that exist because of these factors.
might make it legal. The government can make laws to help/protect a race that is affected by discrimination. Can universities make policies that do the same? A court would have to decide, and I don't think anyone has taken these schools to court over this yet.
But I'm not a lawyer, so take that all with a grain of salt.

The internet is skewed towards introverts, and anime skews introverted.
What's interesting is that introverts from Western nations prefer even live action Japanese films. Why do Western introverts like Japan, not just anime, but food, culture, language, live action film, music, clothing, history, and social values?

Sure, it's not necessarily lacking a scale though. It's lacking a meaningful definition of the labels. The words currently used mean little especially with what are essentially duplicates. It would also help to label it as PCA...

That's so icky to me.
Is this not illegal in Canada as well then?
And to have it so brazenly on a site is beyond outrageous.
At least schools in the US try and pretend that they don't use it often (not saying it's acceptable but it's outrageous to me either way).
>I prefer the way some other schools in Canada do it, by looking at economic factors instead. Instead of asking "are you race X", they ask "Have you ever been to a good bank, are your parents unemployed, etc".
I have no problem with this.
That's how the UK does it at the moment.

The higher percentages in California’s Central Valley are a little concerning, since we have issues with drug and pesticide exposure in those areas already.

I left Connecticut because I couldn’t afford to live there anymore. My Appalachian community has many people from CT, and a lot from NY.

You can find the info on some of the requirements pages of law/med schools. Most have separate "Black Student" and "Indigenous Student" streams. Some schools outright list the less rigorous standards.
Here are the requirements for Queens Law. General students need at least a 3.7 GPA, Black students need a 3.5.
Not saying that that's wrong, I agree with the idea that a meritocracy is only fair when everyone starts at the same place. But racial discrimination does get icky.
I prefer the way some other schools in Canada do it, by looking at economic factors instead. Instead of asking "are you race X", they ask "Have you ever been to a food bank, are your parents unemployed, etc".

Also, healthcare access. There are two scenarios in particular: people who can’t get a diagnosis because they can’t go to the doctor, and people who have a diagnosis but can’t get treatment.

And your saying yellow is the opposite of blue here? Theres no inherent meaning to colors. We give them that meaning and we document it in the legend.
