The problem with today's liberal attitudes is that such attitudes wrongheadedly assume that racism = violence, when in reality, racism usually just means separatism, which if anything, decreases violence, as good fences make good neighbors.

So basically, you accept just about anybody, because you have either low standards or just want to be with as many woman as you can.

Not exactly classy, bro.

Extreme height can also be severely limiting to a man such as yourself, so just look for a 6 foot tall White woman.

>"Race" is a proxy for social class.

You mean, "social class" is a politically correct term used to explain the general differences between races.

Asian men tend to do very well in school and careers and typically have a higher than average income, yet they are considered less attractive than Latinos, who generally perform much lower in school, career, and have a lower income than Asian people.

So basically, this data confirms what everybody sees in reality: that white people are considered the most beautiful by every other race; even to the point that adding "whiteness" to your racial profile will increase interest in your overall profile. That's why in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia; the most successful, attractive people shown in the media have White features or are very light skinned.

Now, here's a better question about this data: would this study be considered "racist" if Black or Asian people were considered the most attractive?

I'm guessing no. "Anti-racism" is just another way to say "anti-white".

Assuming those people are actual, proven, and unanimously agreed upon sex offenders, such as a 50 year old man who did time for making 10 year year old boys perform fellatio on him, I don't see what is wrong with making them pariahs. If anything, they should have been executed rather than reintroduced into society.
But you don't have to actually know them. If they posted their Tox ID on 4chan, which happens all the time, and they accept my friend request, I would have their IP address, correct?
What makes the main developer, irungentoo, qualified to write the Tox core?
So basically, everybody who gives out their Tox ID on 4chan is also giving out their IP address. Great.
They intended "Talks" but most people will just associate it with toxicity or toxins. They really need to come up with a better name if they want to succeed.
