How so? The other guy that wanted to buy the apartment offered 2.399m, so offering 2.4m was the lowest possible price to buy it. What's "blame worthy" about it?

Just as in other areas where countries use violence against each other's populations, it will be a question of the state defending its citizens.

Maybe, some day, there will be some sort of international agreement about what can be done and what must not be done. Like with ABC weapons.

Racism will exist as long as people look at the skin color or other generic markers to judge others. If you think it's okay to do so, that's sad.

Fighting racism with even more racism, will world three opposite result. It's not the first time in human history, that people mean well and create hell. It's just a different topic this time.

I will consider it racist, yes, I prefer a "colorblind" world. Btw, every person in South Africa is the descendent of a "colonizer", black or white.

I was going for "Journalists".

Interesting that people don't even seem to remember that those once existed

What if the South African immigrant was black and had lived in the US for 40 years?

By that logic, does American Asian only refer to people with certain facial characteristics? And are American Europeans only those with a white skin color?

I mean here in Europe we have plenty of Europeans that are not white. So, if a black skinned German went to the US, people would suddenly label him "African" American, just based on his skin color?

That seems quite a racist use of those terms tbh.

So basically you'd work for free for one of the wealthiest companies.

That's f'ed up.

Loved the SpaceX guy on handover to NASA: "... and thank you for flying on Falcon today!"

Private space flight started with this flight.

Really? I mean, every person has some flaws, sure. But most the things he does are just pretty awesome, and usually very good for humanity's future.

I'm not a fanboi trying to defend him. I just happen to like most of his projects, both for the technology and for their positive view of the future.

He's an African American, but still American.

Edit: why the downvote? Is he not?

The reason for complexity fetishisation (great term!) is to show everybody else how amazingly smart you are. It's the infrastructure version of "clever" code.
