Kanton Zug? That some sort of Chinorcish slang?
UNLIMITED… POWAAAAAAHHHHH
Well sure, NOW Ireland is super nice.
Useless - the American would never figure out how to spell that
This is kinda excessively insulting and ignorant.
All my ancestors came to the US as poor white trash. The Irish ones were being actively starved.
Switzerland is like 80% ethnic “Swiss” and the rest of it is Italian, French, and German.
Honestly, to an American, European ethnic uniformity is bizarre. You’re so white and seem to think because you have Othello, you’re diverse.
An American saying he has never been to Europe, without saying he has never been to Europe.
Barely 2/3 of the population of Zürich is even born in Switzerland. It is true however that most of the immigration is from the EU. But Zürich (and Switzerland in general) is rather the outlier here. Big European cities tend to be anything but ethnically homogenous, certainly not in Western Europe. What is however true is that Europeans don’t tend to think in skin colours but ethnic backgrounds, at least those who aren’t Nazis.
Doesn’t Switzerland have a blackface festival, or is that Sweden?
David Sedaris has an interesting monologue about this.
It’s called 6 to 8 black men. Definitely worth a listen. That one is about the Dutch.
Yeah we did. The helper of Santa claus called schmutzli (wich translates roughly to dirty) goes around town to beat up children. But that was back in the day.
Americans tend to assume that any instance of a white person painting their face black is horrendous because their only cultural anchor for it is their horrendously racist minstrel shows and then get confused when people in other countries don’t follow suit.
Okay, but if Zwarte Piet is just supposed to be covered in coal then why did they also give him giant red lips?
It’s a little bit disingenuous to imply that Americans doing blackface is racist, but European blackface is innocent and traditional. It’s not like the Dutch had never seen a black person when Zwarte Piet was created…
As far as I understand, Zwarte Piet started out as a depiction of a black person. But it wasn’t used, like minstrel shows were, to push hateful and limiting stereotypes of black people.
I don’t think every American doing blackface must have been racist, but I think that given the cultural context in America, doing so will justifiably cause such massive offence that it can’t really be defended.
Idk about that one, chief.
Also, the reaction to something isn’t what makes it racist. It’s the content.
yeah this still just sounds like “it’s only racist when americans do it,” because yeesh, that explanation of where it came from isn’t helping your case.
I didn’t give an explanation so I don’t really understand
I mean, the UK had televised blackface into the 70s, so that’s not entirely accurate.
I don’t mean to say that all other blackface is innocent, that being a perfect counterexample.
Black Pete better known as Zwarte Piet is Dutch in origin
But it did become a culture war issue in Germany, right?
must be a culture war issue in

I was wrong, it was Netherlands. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/article/black-pete-christmas-zwarte-piet-dutch
Huh? The Swiss are Italian, French, German and Romansch speakers. They are also divided along Protestant and Catholic lines. Switzerland is far more diverse and divided than people care to realise. They even had a civil war because of this. What made them live in harmony altogether is because of the agreed power sharing after the conflict. Iirc, the governing parties must represent the four linguistic groups.
Lol. “Diverse”.
“They are all white therefore they are not diverse”- average North Americans
No Mexicans in that list i see…
80% ethnic Swiss Schenkelklopfer🤣👍🏻
If it’s so great why didn’t you stay there?
Oh you enjoy travel and are able to go where you please?
That’s cool, thanks for the content.
Wait you’re loaded??!
Yeah I think her dad is/was a Swiss diplomat or something like that?
Last I recall from Violet lore, her dad is a big deal TV producer that does a lot of cocaine. She was raised by her nanny mostly, a woman named Greta Shaw. I also might be getting confused with the plot to a Stephen King novel.
who and/or what is Violet?
Violet is a renowned lemmy hornyposter whose wealthy daddy provided her with two bodyguards for her worldwanderings before eventually being persuaded after much pleading on her part to let them bang her because she was driven mad with lust by their sweatiness and forbiddenness.
Last I heard she was living with a father and son who she had persuaded to both bang her, partly, she believes, because of all the money she lavishes on them.
Apparently the dad’s dick is noticeably bigger but the son has more energy and she gets off on the fact that she’s banging them both.
Every so often she deletes her account but also every so often she makes a new one to hornypost some more.
That useless bit at the edge of a rainbow
You must be new here.
I also might be getting confused with the plot to a Stephen King novel.
You say true, I say thankee.
Off with their head!
But how far back do they mean, like where i was born, where my family lineage started or my mothers vagina?
Yeah they never specify, do they? That’s why I always stay right where I am, otherwise I’d need clear instructions
If life begins at conception, then is where you are from wherever that occurred?
BACK TO THE BALLS
Does that mean that I’m from a bathroom at all van halen concert, or from the specific concert venue bathroom?
go back where you came from!!
…and can you take me with you?
Directly near railways? No thank you. Also way too crowded. What kind of brag is that supposed to be? Just because something might be expensive (haven’t even checked) doesn’t mean it’s great…
I can’t wait until you delete again.
