Why does nobody remember the role in slavery of Africans, Arabs, Asians, and other ethnic groups?


What if the Paraguayan and Chinese cannot (hypothetically) effectively work together because of cultural differences?


That's the other side. Having all Chinese allows for easier communication, shared cultural experiences, similiar worldview.

Location is a factor.. in China everyone is Chinese. In the US you have a variety of people with different cultural backgrounds. What works in China couldn't work in the US.


Ugh, maybe some of them are. But Kapuścinski and Lem for sure are not.


What do people think in Poland about the truth value of what Kapuścinski wrote?


The thing is people consume lots of different things. It's hard to imagine emojis could cover a substantial part of them. So, why choose this and not that? To give an example, frutti di mare are underrepresented although they are very popular in many countries. OTOH there is a pregnant black man emoji, which likely represents something that has not materialized yet.


Bigos, borsch and żurek to be sure. But seriously, the list is very limited. Very much agree with Zababa's point of view.


OECD published a report[1] on EVs lately. I haven't read it but according to various press sources it claims that EVs might make things worse, e.g.[2]:

"The report assumes that diesel and gasoline-powered cars are going to be replaced with electric vehicles, eliminating tailpipe emissions, but that problematic PM emissions will remain or even increase."

I’m very skeptical of that claim.


I agree with the general conclusion about exploitation, but racist theories and justifications existed in different cultures long before the 16th century.


Quite nice. So far I've been using http://paletton.com/ - not identical, but similar functionality.


I was about to comment, Paletton is far nicer with the amount of color choice (every color!), but it lacks the examples for simple icons and gradients. The best combination would be to use both together.


This is a very strange point of reference for a foodie, as McDonald's burgers are not even remotely close to anything tasty.


Same in Poland, although it is often not enforced in practice.


I forgot to mention : this is also a very effective policy to uncover fraudsters.
