  • I LOVE the Epic of Gilgamesh, and the historic city of Uruk (Warka) is in modern day Iraq. In that way, I have a lot of respect for the history. However, I would be too scared to travel there, for example. I hope truly that now after ISIS war, things keep getting better for the people there. I don’t hear many news from there anymore, though I wouldn’t mind hearing.













  • To add to the other conversation:

    It also kind of depends on where you are. In America, it’s normal to talk about being white. But I feel like in Europe, usually people who refer to themselves as white are white supremacists. Unlike normal people, who tend to refer to themselves with their ethnicity, like “Polish”, “Irish”, etc.

    So from the latter perspective, it would seem like racism itself is believing in the existence of races. But racism is really, after you started believing in them, then discriminating based on said races. It’s like step 2 on that path.
