Google and Apple are US companies though. I’m not aware of any international organizations simply just accepting the new name like that and I doubt the people in Mexico for example will start calling it that either. It seems like people are making out this to be a bigger issue than it is. Anyone is free to keep calling it the Gulf of Mexico either. I still call Facebook, Twitter and Turkey by their original names too and I’ve yet to encounter a single person not understanding what I’m talking about.

What’s the problem with calling it Gulf of America? To me that just seems like an objectively better name. You guys do realise that Mexico is in America too, right?

That is still considered active trading when someone is manually picking which stocks to buy. Historically, passive investing into index funds tends to have outperformed nearly everyone who does individual stock picking based on their own judgement.

Buying and selling stock based on short term value fluctuations.

I invest to make money, not to make a statement. If you try to combine the two, you’re likely doing one at the expense of the other. People are free to invest however they want, but making investment decisions based on emotions will inevitably be reflected in their returns - or lack thereof.

Currently, about 65% of my investments are in U.S. companies, while 7.8% are in Europe (where I live).

I didn’t know that averaging 10 messages per day is considered “posting like crazy”

Lets hear your theory then about what that means.

I wouldn’t agree with “sticking fingers in my ears and saying it doesn’t matter” being a fair representation of what I’m trying to say here.

I would claim that in the case of person’s skin color we truly shouldn’t care about it any more than we care about the color of their hair or eyes. It’s it’s a description of appearance, not a reflection of who they are. If we want to live in a world where this is the case, then my argument is that paying more attention to it is not the way to go. I’m sure the people behind this have good intentions but it’s the method I disagree with here.

I’ll save them the trouble then and out myself here by posting the only other mention of skin color on my entire post history. Clearly I can’t stop talking about race.

Concluding that someone is a lesser human because of their skin color seems just as illogical to me as calling someone a racist because they drive a lifted truck. These things are completely unrelated.

Interestingly, your post history shows that you are very interested in skin color yourself.

Feel free to dig thru it and post it here for everyone to see.

I think we should come up with a term for the kind of people to whom the color of a person’s skin is this important.
