Some how someone gained access to my account probably though my brother using my account and they suspended it, this was like a long time ago. I just havent bothered to get it fixed because its a pain/imlazy
hes been buying games on his account so im using his.
Believe me, I am hardly going to be righteously demanding that a majority culture cease to enforce its domination on a minority culture.
It's the self-righteous preening that gets to me. The smiling insistence that this is for your own good, don't you know, that the state must most regretfully harass your businesses and your schools and prevent you from setting up any new businesses or schools because that would be colonialism, don't you want to integrate? And that anything resistance is hateful bigotry against them because, don't you know, the British brought your great-grandfathers here and no matter what, no matter whether we give you citizenship and an ID card and let you keep your schools and neighbourhoods and churches for now, you will always, and forever, be guests here in our homeland. We stand equal as citizens - as long you obey us always. And in the thoroughly unfortunate event that you defy us, well, we will come with our knives and expel you from this land forever.
Because this is Malaysia, and it is the homeland of the Malays.
But don't worry, we will definitely be thoroughly reasonable in arbitrating any disputes when we outnumber you nine to one instead of two to one.
Shit, 21st Century is a Malaysian kleptocrat!
I did not know that.
Rule one of discussions of nationalism: use examples in other countries.

I think you're projecting a lot about the Quebec issues.
Possibly. But, conversely, I think you're failing to be objective.
You, at least, are aware that the linguistic nationalism isn't quite as pure in thought as one would prefer - that there is some scrabbling around for excuses to harass people who, inconveniently, do speak French. Therefore: headdress laws. But I was quite stunned when notdroid whipped out "masters in our own home" and then said that it isn't based in xenophobia and racism.
Well, it's not, actually, about xenophobia in that context. have you read his post?
This was said in a time period where the high earners were anglophones and where francophones were not even allowed to get promotions and refused service for speaking french. Not for not speaking english, but for speaking French in the first place.
The French Canadians have been an underclass for a loooong-ass time since the British won the war.
i mean, i don't see what's so abhorrent about forcing public services to serve Francophones when Francophones are the majority in the province. Especially when, historically, being a Francophone was reason enough to refuse service.

I mean, don't get me wrong, 4K is beautiful.
But you need an 80 inch or greater set and you need to sit within 8 feet of that monstrosity to benefit from it.
Now, a desktop monitor I can sit within a foot of that is 27" and has 5620x2880 pixels? Yes please.
that is a wallpaper size in the upcoming OSX release, and all my dicks came when I saw that.

There is nothing abhorrent about that, actually. The obvious question is whether the minority Anglophones will served in English, and whether they will continue to be served in English in the future, after decades of demographic engineering with the deliberate end of ensuring Francophone dominance in the political process.
Even failing to do that is not necessarily problematic, conditional on some self-awareness that one is, in fact, trying to remove a minority culture because it's not part of your national identity. It is one thing to harass people into emigration via threats and hostility and a thousand cuts on your businesses and schools; it is quite another to do so while patting yourself on the back for how kind you are whilst doing so.
Sometimes the gains from cultural engineering are enormous, and it may be well worth pursuing forced assimilation just to avoid decades of simmering violence. As I said, I am hardly going to say that this is inherently vile. It's the hypocrisy that I find repellent. At the very least, the awareness that you are doing something that imposes large costs on your ethnic minority should deter you from hand-wringing about the ill-treatment your great-grandfathers got.
