@fuckPOCS@blackdetta@ThatComicFan3 He just did? But even if he did, you’d call that person a “self hater” too for not prioritizing Black female & gay self destruction, coonery and matriarchy at the expense of Black men. Nobody’s playing this game with yall. Focus on yourselves.
Guy I met from r/(mysmalltown) works with Amish guys and he said they only acknowledge 4 ethnicites. To them every single person is either white, black, mexican, or chinese
@TyMiraculous@trizzyrichh@Th1s9uyJadxn@DeLaSimp But in the tweet I replied to, you stated misinformation. And ofc Creole isn’t a race, it isn’t even one single ethnicity or something that applies only to people. But in the case of Louisiana Creoles, there’s a lot of nuance and historic context you’re clearly unfamiliar with.
@TyMiraculous@trizzyrichh@Th1s9uyJadxn@DeLaSimp No, both her parents are mulatto (Black & White primarily) Creoles, I follow her not sure where you got this from. Most Louisiana Creoles are like this and are Black-identified.
@Nairobifatlover@DIAS I can’t speak on what you see in your country, but the man whose photo you used is of half or more British and Celtic heritage, with only Cypriot paternal ancestry. There is a range of complexions within every ethnic group, but on average, Greeks are melanated:
@Nairobifatlover@DIAS Mycenaean/Minoan women were nowhere near as literally white complexioned as those paintings. Realistically they would’ve been light tan/olive at most, so those paintings cannot even be used as a legit argument to imply pasty complexions were widespread or well suited for Greece.
@Nairobifatlover@DIAS There’s a big jump between “slightly lighter than their men” and “pale”. Pale White complexions like the woman in the og post are not well suited for Greece’s climate, hence why native Greeks are tan.
@Nairobifatlover@DIAS Yes, it’s a common representation across many cultures. In real life, women are also a few shades lighter on average than men of their ethnicity or “race”, but it isn’t a drastic difference as what’s often depicted in ancient & classical art was my original point
@Nairobifatlover@DIAS + if you go to Greece today, most are tan/olive skinned regardless of gender, so the ghost white skin of women and red skin of men in paintings were both unrealistic exaggerations meant almost purely to differentiate gender. And non-royal/elite women wouldn’t have been “indoors”.
@Nairobifatlover@DIAS Minoans were absorbed into “Hellen” yes, but they were originally a non-Greek/IE speaking people. And the Mycenaeans adopted the artistic conventions of the Minoans.
@Nairobifatlover@DIAS 1. These depictions are “Minoan”, not Greek.
2. The choice in skin color in paintings was almost purely representational, to differentiate between men(who were painted dark/red) and women since they drew them with similar features. Egyptians did the same & influenced this.
Jo Nagai was raising swallowtail butterflies at his home in Kobe, Japan, when he noticed something odd. The ones he had looked after as caterpillars seemed to recognize him. Wild butterflies fled. His didn't.
He was in second grade. He wrote a four-page letter to Dr. Martha Weiss, an entomologist at Georgetown University who had studied whether moths could retain memories through metamorphosis. He asked if she could help him design a version of her experiment for butterflies.
She said yes.
Using a muscle therapy device, Jo trained caterpillars to associate the scent of lavender with a mild vibration. When the caterpillars became butterflies, 70 per cent of them still avoided the lavender. Their brains had been completely rebuilt during metamorphosis. The memory survived anyway.
Then he bred them.
The offspring, which had never been trained, also avoided lavender. So did their grandchildren. Without ever experiencing the vibration, two generations of butterflies inherited an aversion to a scent their grandmother had been taught to fear.
Jo documented it all in a 33-page research paper and presented his findings at the International Congress of Entomology in Kobe in 2024. He was 10.
A second grader wrote a letter to a Georgetown professor, and together they found evidence that butterflies can pass memories down through generations.

@ArsiTkasse@Shaneywayney1 Only femcels and gay men watch this, but in the real world Black male-White female is far more common, which is why you’re coping and why yall have 15 different slurs for white women who date out.
@1TDegree@___eightyHD___ Stfu. By this dumb logic the descendant of a mixed race person could never be Black, excluding all Black Americans. The only thing you people can police is who you personally date and procreate with.
@392_Mayne@AbasiMalungu If you take a run of the mill Black American family, you won’t find everybody one single complexion. There are dark skinned and lighter skinned people, often within the same immediate/nuclear family. This color obsession is a foreign concept to us.
@392_Mayne@AbasiMalungu Creole doesn’t only mean Louisiana Creole. Tidewater/Atlantic creole is a massive ancestral component for Black Americans in the Carolinas and Virginia, including my own family. The Deep South has the largest PERCENTAGE of Black by population, not the largest density.
@392_Mayne@AbasiMalungu That doesn’t have anything to do with what I said? Black Americans are all over the South and America, not just the Deep South. And even in the Deep South, there are darkskins , lightskins, creole & Black Indigenous groups, within the same family. We aren’t a monolith anywhere.
