    “white” is an increbibly malleable category, anyway. At one point, the Irish (who are generally even lighter-skinned than the English due to higher percentage of gingers) were considered non-white. Nowadays, most people would consider Italians and Spaniards white, and there’s quite a few hispanic people who both look white and consider themselves white (due to being descended from European immigrants). There’s a similar dynamic in India, southern Indians are often darker than ‘black’ americans while many north Indians could pass as southern europeans.


  • I suppose we have pumpkins, too. At least this holiday is pretty fun, even if no one actually celebrates it here (there’s little chance it gets adoption here, where I live we even have a hard time getting into carnival, even though that holiday has native tradition).

    Anyway, late August christmas sweets are way better than any Halloween-themed food or drink.








  • “child, 13” - a 13yo is a teenager, not a child.

    That article was a pain in the ass to read, horribly structured.

    What she did: “The court heard the girl was taken to the protest outside the Potters International Hotel, which houses asylum seekers, by a parent of a friend. Police body-worn video showed the teenager briefly bang and kick at a door of the hotel while voices could be heard telling her to stop.”

    Her sentence, a “12-month referral order”: “A referral order means you are required to attend a youth offender panel. The panel, you, your parents/carers and the victim (where appropriate) agree a contract aimed at repairing the harm that has been caused and addressing the causes of the offending behaviours.” (https://unlock.org.uk/advice/referral-order-18/)

    The conviction seems to be on permanent record, though, which does seem a bit much for this considering her age.

    Thing is, if you’re trying to bite someone to death the neck is the most natural target (vs. bending down to take a chunk out of their stomach or trying to open the veins in the arms). The difficulty is more in actually getting in range, which realistically would get down to grappling in a fight.
