Racist geekhack...
« on: Tue, 18 November 2014, 07:04:20 »
Out of all the musicians and actors as avators, they were all White except for Bob Marley, no Asians, no Blacks, no Latino, not even Teresa Teng... most of White singers can't sing or rap without autotune, and yet everyone's White, wtf.

This post is a joke, right?  It has to be.  But joke threads belong in the Off Topic subforum.  Would you like me to move it for you?

The OP sounds a little bit as a feedback (?), but there is no suggestions, unless "WTF" implies it. Again (!?)

I thought racial equality and fair representation is important concept in America? Doesn't American colleges have lower SAT admission scores for Blacks and higher scores for Asians so that the colleges don't become Chinatowns like what we have here in Sydney?

I wish.

Most schools in applying to are moving towards a race-blind or test-blind mentality.

But still the colleges still accept based on individual cases, when the candidate provides SAT score, high school marks and extra curriculum, which gives the college lots of flexibility in changing the racial and gender make up of their students.

In Australia, the only requirement is ATAR score, in my finance class, 95% Asians no joke.

The preset avatars don't include any pornstars.

This must mean GH is prejudice towards the porn industry...

Oh ****. Are there preset avatars? I thought people who lurked just decided to steal others' avatars.

Just remove the ****ing things in that case. Apparently, all the cause is trouble now. People should come up with their own avatar. They're about personality. If you have none, you should have no avatar.

Agreed, but it's also important to note that you can only display personality in an avatar of 150x150
