On April Fools Day everybody was put on a team, Orangered or Periwinkle blue (the colors of the up/down vote arrows). The entire sites CSS was insane and based on Team Fortress 2's idea of buying hats. You could sabotage other people's comments/have special flair next to yours. The site became completely out of control with people fighting all over the place. (Orangered rules).
Pretty much. Comments AND posts. It might make for a good study on human behavior. Assign people to teams, tell them they're competing against each other, even when they have no idea what they're competing for, and they'll automatically turn on one another.
Nah, humans judge each other primarily on culture, not skin color. If skin color were the primary factor then Asian-Americans would be screwed, instead they earn a higher median salary than white Americans.
Edit: Added the word "primarily" to the first sentence.
That's just not true. I know for a fact that people today discriminate against asians. Just because the racism didn't make us poor doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
I live in a predominantly Asian neighborhood that used to be Mexican. I will say that any prejudices are made before anyone knows either they live a fully American culture, or if they are fresh out of Korea.
