I wouldn't say that being racist is necessarily about the inability to think logically or rationally. It's sometimes that, of course, but sometimes it's because they just never tried to think about it. Their life experiences just never put them in that situation.
But most often, I think, it's because they can think logically, have tried to think logically, but the conclusions would make them feel less superior and thus they encounter a mental block. In other words, it's about insecurity, first and foremost.

My response is mostly a joke anyway. But how's their originally being from somewhere else different from an Asian person's originally being from somewhere else?

I'm not American and don't live there, but "where are you from" shouldn't be offensive, unless you're native American. Just normalize asking white people where they are from, too.

Oh yes, I'm so sorry. I meant to say "ackchually" (I normally don't use that "y" after "h").

.mp4 isn't codec though, is it? I think it can have various codecs, even h264.

It's actually supposed to be pronounced as "woyák", so it doesn't rhyme with Bojack.

3000 years is a lot. You can't imagine how profoundly, unbelievably long that is. In just 65 years we went from the Wright brothers' first flight to landing on the moon. And technological progress is exponential. Assuming people don't all kill each other, in a couple hundred years, maybe a thousand, it will likely cost the humanity next to nothing to go pick them up, if they so desire.

I wasn't making it sound bad. I'm just saying how it is. We wouldn't tolerate game mechanics like those nowadays. That's all I'm saying.

It's a possibility, if they really wanna play the game. Nowadays we are so spoiled for choice that we would just either switch to another game or pick up the phone.

You're clearly just trying to pick a fight, but care to point out what I said wrong?
