I'm sorry but this is just so obviously not true and it's depressing how much reach its achieved. Adjusted for inflation a minimum wage worker in 1971 was making less than $30,000 a year in 2026 dollars.

BREAKING: New study finds that a minimum-wage worker in 1971 had a lifestyle affordability similar to someone making $100K today.

@paloma_datgirl You say this as if there haven't been genetic studies looking at this exact question. There have been. We know what the Ancient Greeks looked like, and they had literally zero (0) Sub Saharan Africa or South Asian admixture.

Nolan's Odysseus vs Homer's Odysseus

it took me a few months (and a few other books in between) but i finished it!!!

@LukeBarnett Just saw it. You're omitting that Matt Damon's second in command, who gets a lot of screen time, is literally a South Asian guy.

[Chris E @chrisb_edwards]

@metaburbia @neoavatara He's literally making it up.

[Chris E @chrisb_edwards]

@primediscussion @xspotsdamark You made a meaningless semantic argument about multiethnic vs multiracial, then you couldn't prove 1200 BCE was multiracial so you pivoted to 8th century, then you said what matters is "the source material," which is irrelevant in the question of historical demography. Stfu.

[Chris E @chrisb_edwards]

@PoliticsOutHere Correct. He is now merely the world's wealthiest man and history's first trillionaire.

@bumbadum14 She would definitely pass as Greek and I'm tired of pretending otherwise.

@The_Davos_Man Bro we didn't live through 15 years of "my costume is not your costume"/cultural appropriation/whitewashing scandals for nothing. Entire thesis projects were written about how it wasn't okay for Scarlett Johansson to play a cyborg in Neo Tokyo.

[Chris E @chrisb_edwards]

@primediscussion @xspotsdamark You're just moving the goalposts.

[Chris E @chrisb_edwards]

@primediscussion @xspotsdamark We're not talking about Homer's time. We're talking about 1200 BCE Greece.

[Chris E @chrisb_edwards]

@primediscussion @xspotsdamark 1) It's a compilation of empirical findings
2) If you think there were people of partial or full SSA ancestry in the Bronze Age Mediterranean, then prove it. Provide evidence. Don't just give a non falsifiable "well, you know, people could have travelled there or whatever."

[Chris E @chrisb_edwards]

@ColemanKong @tinypeytz So what happened?

There’s drama right now in the Wonderland influencer community

[Chris E @chrisb_edwards]

@primediscussion @xspotsdamark And I'm using "multiethnic" and "multiracial" in the modern sense of the terms. I'm telling you according to genetic studies, 1200 BCE Greece was filled with many ethnic groups, but none of them were SSA, Asian, South Asian. It was racially homogenous.

Some questions are empirical.

[Chris E @chrisb_edwards]

@primediscussion @xspotsdamark Buddy are you even reading what I'm telling you? 1200 BCE Greece was multiethnic, not multiracial.

[Chris E @chrisb_edwards]

@DonnerPartyMenu I'll be honest I had no idea this clip was from the Paralympics so now I feel a little bad. I think most people didn't either.

[Chris E @chrisb_edwards]

@primediscussion @xspotsdamark Notice how you said multiethnic, and not multiracial? Because that's the issue at hand here.
