First, some housekeeping . .
Welcome Coolsuffdude to the Wand of Wonder. Malach has known Coolsuff for a few years now. Not only should he be a good productive member, but he should also post some interesting articles and comments.
There are several contributers here who have never posted an article, even further there are a couple who have never posted or commented. Get your act together or you will be disintegrated.
I have had some interesting discussion with fans of WoW via e-mail and forums. They all love the characters, the topics, and the interaction. One thing most of them see as a negative is the "hectic" pace of the postings. I am really at loss on how to fix this. Murk and I have knocked around reviving the Minimum Security Forums, only here at TOM. Will this help? Several of these people who I spoke stated they would prefer to interact with us via a forum . . .
Race.
The Human Race. Malach has always been interested in race, the differences between races, the mixing of races, and why there is racism. Firstly, racism is so rediculous. You don't see Horse hating each other for the color of their fur.
With that being said, the stereotypes about the different human races have some kernel of truth (most stereotypes do). Some races have certain advantages over others. Whether it is physical skill from muscle mass, more brain power, or just better sun protection. Malach is not going to go through them all, we all know them.
What has become most interesting over the past 50 years is the mixing of races, especially as this country and the world has become more open and accepting this. We are creating a race of superhumans. And as Public Enemy said : Skins protected 'gainst the ozone layer, breakdown, 2001 it might be best to be black or just brown, countdown!. It is also interesting to see what a mixture of races does over a few generations.
With that being said . . .
It is time to play WHAT RACE AM I?
Today on what race am I, we will one of these mutts.
Look at me, what race am I? Obviously, there is some type of Asian race in there, but my name is Ryan O'Callaghan (OL, New England Patriots). So, I am Irish too, perhaps. I am also about 300lbs, which is not Asian. perhaps some Somoan?
I am Malach and my race is Demi God

well hellooo, horses don't use their rationalization head cause they don't have one, so they can't really make a difference btw their colors they indeed don't know what color they are, that is basically the problem with human being, some use their rationallization in the wrong way and some in the possitive way towards other and that is basically it.
just a metaphor sister
Part of the problem is the narrative and definitions people buy into. There are no multiple races of human beings - we are all one race; homo sapiens.
We have differing skin tones & colors, geographic origins, languages, and cultures; which we ignorantly lump into races and then make generalizations about.
But it still makes some people more comfortable to call different looking or behaving people different "races" so that they can create some artificial difference between the "us" and the "them" - when in reality we all have much more in commom than we have differences.
Race is one popular discrimination but certainly there are more sensitive ways to discriminate:
Way of dressing
Way of Playing
Way of using your head
Way of walking etc etc ectc,
on those peopple do it all the time but they don't really acknowledge they are discriminating someone.
Basically the word "discrimination" is a about the word "rejection".
I like to stomp on mustard and scream "THAT'LL TEACH THOSE ASIANS!".
And then my sister in law goes all Kung Fu on my ass.
we do not understand your concepts of race, and we agree with the Angry Veteran. Race is a foolish concept. We have discerned the only true differences that matters with people, and that is your intelligence and your humor. For instance, we can tell that Angry Veteran is quite intelligent, though not quite humerous. The Captain we see as not very intelligent, yet, he can be quite humerous, although we are not usually 'laughing with him' as you say. We find Toyi very amusing, but not for her lack of intelligence, more for her nonsensical comments that even we of superior intelligence cannot understand.
We are currently studying Toyi to discern if she herself is of a new higher species.
I'm funnier when I'm searching your body for contraband.
oh I think helpful critic is AV cause he is saying that AV is smart...
I've already told everyone that I am the Helpful Critic and Dr. Murk exposed me as the owner of the IP address. Damn, even Toyi gets it.
however, we know that you are NOT us.
^Are you the MOLE?
Are you SPECIAL?
Are you PRICELESS?????
