Prior to 1951, the official handbook stated that each color corresponded to a particular continent: blue for Europe, yellow for Asia, black for Africa, green for Australia and Oceania and red for the Americas; this was removed because there was no evidence that Coubertin had intended it (the quote above was probably an afterthought)." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympic_symbols#The_Rings https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympic_symbols#The_Rings
- joslin01 12y agoFocusing on this small part of the video is stupid and just baiting
- pekk 12y agoWhy did you leave out the parts that are inconvenient to the narrative you're making up? "Europe should be blue" - is that racist? I guess the technical achievement means nothing. Where is your certificate of political correctness? Why is it socially acceptable to bully like this?
- Kiro 12y agoTurn on "Show dead" and visit https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=TempleOS https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=TempleOS Even if this particular case wasn't racist it's easy to understand why things Davis says could be interpreted as such.
- Don_ 12y agoWhat's the point of bringing it up, though? How is that relevant to a technical video like this one? Furthermore, how is it fair to put the things he says under the same scrutiny as a person who doesn't have schizophrenia?
- nyolfen 12y agoit isn't inconvenient to the narrative, though it might not be immediately obvious https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_blood https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_blood calling out racism isn't bullying and it's incoherent to label it as such, davis has a long history of racist ranting much more offensive than labeling africa black. he's mentally ill and it's sad but it's not to be overlooked
- cbd1984 12y agoNo, "calling someone out" for being mentally ill is bullying. Even if that illness takes the form of racist rants.
- sergiotapia 12y agoPlease delete this comment it adds nothing to this technical discussion and is just pure troll bait.
