Is learning the shapes of countries really all that important? I would have thought by the time the shape matters, you’re looking at/learning the details of the country, at which point you’re not looking at a map of the entire world anymore anyway.
Who actually uses it as a map though? It’s usually only seen briefly in apps, or in various symbols, or on a classroom wall. As a symbol, having the rights sizes would be a significant improvement. In an app, people will zoom in anyway, so at least they’d passively see the correct proportions when zooming out, instead of getting a false impression. In a classroom, it would seem all that more importantly to not give false impressions to kids.
I highly recommend scrambled tofu.
I see what you mean, thanks. Maybe of interest, the Oxford English dictionary defines a race riot as “a public outbreak of violence due to racial antagonism”, much less specific than your definition which I imagine is America-based, so I think this might be a difference between American and European use of the term.
Why do you think it’s more fascist or than racist? The political “right” of the UK is incredibly anti-immigrant, you can see that in how they’ve voted for MPs and Brexit. The racial hate is more noticeable towards brown people, i.e. anyone looking anything from Arab to south Asian, there’s even the p-word that comes close (but isnt quite) the equivalent of the n-word.
Then can you stop killing whales at least?
Same for all Linuxes, it’s a current limitation of the Linux kernel. There’s an open issue about it, essentially working out how to use the TPM to sign the memory dump so that secureboot will accept the signature and load it from disk.
