Foreign Affairs / Head of Diversity for US Diplomacy say that Brazil is too white by Tmerz: 11:48am On Jan 11, 2022
It's hard for the US to go around giving diversity lessons to the rest of the world because they too have a lot of homework to do.
So says Gina Abercrombie-Winstanley, 64, who took over in April the newly created head of Diversity and Inclusion at the US State Department in the Joe Biden administration.
During her visit to São Paulo, the diplomat did not run into many black people like her.
"I noticed that most of the people I saw were white. And knowing that the population is close to 50%-50% [among blacks and whites], I asked myself, 'Where is everyone else?'."
Abercrombie-Winstanley once defined the State Department as "pale, male and Yale" — one of the American elite's favorite universities.
Although the game is changing, there is more ground to cover, she says. "We are not where we should be."

Man life is so, bizarre. Imagine celebrating New Years day, hoping to a better year, only to have your fate comprising of being crushed under a massive rock while boating 8 days later.

Health / Re: Two Cases Of Omicron COVID Variant Detected In Nigeria by Tmerz: 10:58pm On Dec 05, 2021
backbencher:


So if we don't do lockdown and people die as a result, I hope you won't criticise anyone for doing nothing about the COVID

Governments are being strict because they don't want to be blamed for any deaths even though we know that most people survive COVID.

Bolsonaro of Brazil is already being blamed for the deaths in his country. Yes he I a skeptic, but if he had been stricter, no one would have had any means of blaming him, because he did what he could

Bolsonaro said that he did his best against the coronavirus. And told people not to believe in the media because Brazil media is fake news and evil liers.

When did I say Pele represents all Brazilians?
Brazil has the largest population of black people outside Africa because of the slave trade.


People really believe that Brazil is the blackest country in the world. They managed to sell that lie well. For you the Brazil white population look like Ronaldinho? hm ok.

Culture / Re: Why Do African Americans Generally Have Lighter Skin Tone Than Africans? by Tmerz: 2:49pm On Jan 27, 2021
Genetics. African Americans origins come from slavery. White Americans did alot of rapings in those times like most Europeans in that time involved with slavery so most African Americans have alot of white heritage. The majority of African Americans are dark. Many of these celebrities have white parents. Only African Americans who are descendant of mulattos who have European ancestry in their bloodline are pale. Like Rihanna
