They don't read ...They don't listen to NPR. They don't read books. Another thing they don't do? Write (or read) Wikipedia entries. <a href="http://www.wikipedia.org/" rel="nofollow">The Wikipedia front page</a> caught my attention awhile ago. It indicates the number of Wikipedia articles in various languages (number of native speakers in parenthesis):<br /><br />English: 3,816,000 (375 million)<br />German: 1,324,000 (98 million)<br />French: 1,181,000 (68-115 million)<br />Italian: 867,000 (62 million)<br />Spanish: 849,000 (329-400 million)<br />Polish: 848,000 (40 million)<br />Russian: 798,000 (144 million)<br />Japanese: 781,000 (122 million)<br /><br />So there are almost as many Wikipedia articles in Polish as in Spanish, although there are 8-10 times as many native Spanish speakers as Polish speakers in the world.<br /><br />It's hard to gauge precisely how many Wikipedia articles there should be for any given language. Some topics deserve coverage in any language, while obscure persons and cultural matters may only merit an article in their own. So I'll just go with "Spanish should probably have a hell of a lot more Wikipedia entries than Polish, German, or French."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-89293670960916804292011-12-11T17:32:15.985-08:002011-12-11T17:32:15.985-08:00"Prairie Home Companion and Car Talk are just..."Prairie Home Companion and Car Talk are just too much for me to bear."<br /><br />Car Talk?

The technology they were supposed to use was questionable at best and even if it did work then the fleet of seven or so vans would never be able to cover more than a minute part of the country. I don't think I've ever seen one, and they haven't been mentioned in any BBC or TV Licensing Board propaganda for many years. I think they realised people just didn't believe they were real so quietly let them drop. The checks are simply done using databases of occupied premises and the assumption that they all have a television. If you don't have a licence and purchase any tv equipment by any means other than cash, they pounce on you within days.<br /><br />As for the BBC, it is relentlessy, aggressively muticultural. Obviously it massively promotes our Vibrant communities (and whitewashes their misdeeds), but even within a strictly British context there is a very clear agenda: white, straight English men are being progressively erased from the picture. The Welsh, Scots and Irish (north and, inexplicaby, south) are always massively over-represented, and English women usually have some presence. But the only English men are the veterans who are Too Big To Fire. They are getting old though and will be gone in a few years. Increasingly the "English" men are from ethnic minorities (while the Scottish/Welsh/Irish ones - cherished and oppressed minorities that they are - are invariably white). All this is entirely deliberate, of course. If you complain, the response will be "of course we have English men on screen - just look at Okwuju/Sanjay/Vikram/Jermain. What, you're not a RACIST are you?".Londonernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-5371494063995113532011-12-10T22:37:52.092-08:002011-12-10T22:37:52.092-08:00"I have a difficult time believing that 10% o..."I have a difficult time believing that 10% of blacks voted for Bush Sr. instead of 90% Dukakis and 83% Clinton (the first black president)."<br /><br />Now what in the holy hell does that mean?<br /><br />Maybe you believe the stats from CNN.com<br /><br />http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/pages/results/states/US/P/00/epolls.0.html<br /><br /><br />How about from the roper center:<br /><br />http://www.ropercenter.uconn.edu/elections/how_groups_voted/voted_04.html<br /><br /><br />How about from Gallup:<br /><br />http://www.gallup.com/poll/107110/obamas-support-similar-kerrys-2004.aspx<br /><br />Dude, YOU ARE WASTING MY FUCKING TIME!Truthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17286755693955361308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-89229103968216480442011-12-10T22:25:58.636-08:002011-12-10T22:25:58.636-08:00"You are a deceitful idiot."

I have flat out admitted that there are crime issues in the Black community. I even have something on my blog. Look up "wtf is acting white"? on Evergreen Journal and another blog entry about Black people being afraid to "snitch". I am basically trying to do more of what Bill Cosby is doing. He is doing it out of love for Black people, because he wants them to do better, to respect and act on the legacy that persons in my grandparents' generation were willing to die for. <br /><br />I judge by character, not race.

If I'm chatting with someone in Spanish, and they ask where I'm from or what my name is, I pronounce those things in English, since that's how they're pronounced. I assume the same is true of someone like Mandalit Del Barco--she pronounces her name the way it's actually pronounced. That doesn't seem pretentious to me--it would seem kind of silly to do it the other way. (Though I'll stick with common Spanish renamings of places ("Nueva York") sometimes, perhaps the same way an Italian will say he's from Rome instead of Roma.)<br /><br />The fun version of this is something I've noticed Chinese often do--apparently, most of their names are hopeless for non-Chinese speakers to say right, so it seems like most Chinese I know who live in an English speaking country just choose some reasonably common English name that's reasonably close to some part of their name.
