A bit offensive? Why?
- xxxyy 12y agoBecause there are racial-alike tensions within the Caucasian people, such as Nazi/Jews, West/Slavic, Protestant/Catholic.
- throwaway90446 12y agoUnable to reply to your other flagkilled comment, so I'll reply here. It's amusing that bringing up facts in a community ostensibly self-selected to prize discovery and reason is sufficient cause to be silenced. pg and the community he fostered has come a long way since this: http://www.paulgraham.com/say.html http://www.paulgraham.com/say.html
- xxxyy 12y agoYes, that is absolutely correct. And I find it sad that such thoughtless mechanisms are exactly what powered the worst forms of racism in the history. Edit: would just like to point out that I was flagkilled before any response came, so currently my post is invisible in this thread.
- tinco 12y agoI don't know the history of it, but it seems likely that Greece waged a lot of war with the (slavic) countries north of it, so their slaves would be predominantly of slavic descent. Slavic people also have a pretty easily discernable look to them, at least many do, so it's not hard to imagine they could be subject to racial discrimination in Greece.
- tsax 12y agoLol how do you think 'slavs' got their name? Have you looked at the Arab and Ottoman slave trade?
