  • casualties include people take out of fight (I think), amputees, wounded who won’t fight again if I am not wrong.

    Edit: In civilian usage, a casualty is a person who is killed, wounded or incapacitated by some event; the term is usually used to describe multiple deaths and injuries due to violent incidents or disasters. It is sometimes misunderstood to mean “fatalities”, but non-fatal injuries are also casualties. -Wiki












  • No, I am saying our minds are set to see patterns and had this been a completely white crew (even if they weren’t their solely because of skin color) the story’s coverage would have been seen as racist. Since there are brown people over there, it doesn’t fit the pattern and is no longer seen as racist.

    I am just saying, we sometimes recognize patterns that quite frankly aren’t there.


  • PS: I don’t agree with what the meme is implying, but it’s funny anyway. I mean, if the submersible didn’t have two pakistanis in it, people who cared about the submersible would have been deemed racist because they only care about the submersible because it was filled with well-off white men. And I am saying this as a brown man :) I cared more about the story because it had two Pakistanis in it. I can only imagine it would get good coverage in a country with majority white people.
