Most people in the Middle East are considered white because in 1915 a Lebanese guy named George Dow said “if I’m not white than Jesus wasn’t white” and the 4th Court of Appeals was like “damn, we need racist pseudoscience reasons to explain why he’s right now.”

Dow v. U.S.



anyways personally I think that the NYT should stop doing race essentialism and stop platforming race scientists but that’s probably just my tiny Chinese hands talking

(Be happy if you missed the nonsense the NYTimes got up to in the last 48hrs or so. Shamefully obsessed with college admissions and race science.)

While updating my research on cruise ships' pivot to immersive experiences, I idly wondered what Disney was up to in Asia. The answer: The Disney Adventure – a ship that can hold 6700 passengers – is permanently stationed at Singapore for the next five years, and all its sailings go... nowhere.

So it's a floating theme park, basically. It's harder to pull that off in the US, which already has theme parks, but easier in South East Asia, at least for Disney fans who don't have any alternatives. This is the not-so-secret answer to why Disney isn't building more parks, btw.
