The United States Census Bureau's official population counts, as I've said, use very broad groups to categorize ethnicities which is not reflective of just how many groups of people live in the United States. Korea has an idea of

The methodology used in this list is deeply flawed. It depends on US Census Bureau data which does not make distinctions between subgroups of ethnicities, despite them being culturally and racially distinct from each other. Indians (which c

My argument is that a movie or tv show is an art medium that coincides partly with time, just like music. Listening to a song at 1.5x speed fundamentally changes what you are listening to and is a significant deviation from what the artist

You miss almost everything, actually. The only thing you retain by watching it at 1.5x speed is the dialogue and some sort of vague approximation of the visuals. I'm not suggesting that you shouldn't be able to enjoy tv as you do,
