In the Equality Act, race can mean your colour, or your nationality (including your citizenship).

I’m pretty sure I know. Do you?

In any case, we are arguing about semantics. You would agree that the post was prejudicial, right?

I usually eat at 2, which accounting for timezone is 1pm in Portugal (best country to compare to, next to us and without the timezone nonsense). Is that late for you?

I think we agree on viewpoints, we differ more on the definition of racism. I agree that racism classically has been about ethnicity, but in modern days it’s more broad. For example:

In the Equality Act, race can mean your colour, or your nationality (including your citizenship).

So if nationality can be qualified as a race, discrimination about nationality should be called racism.

In any case, you can replace racist in my original comment with prejudicial (although racist sounds way more heavy, which is why I prefer it) and it’s true anyway.

It presents the ever famous image of “lazy Spaniards don’t work and have lazy hours.nothing is open ever”. That’s racist.

There’s two reasons for those hours.

1. Timezones, as mentioned by several people here, you can mentally remove 1 hour for it to make more sense, Portugal is right next to us and their times make a little bit more sense. That doesn’t justify all the numbers shown though, and that because…
2. They are fucking made up. Maybe if you didn’t go to touristic hubs you would find more normal timetables. Work starts at 8 so breakfast joints open at 7 if early, people eat at 2, they have dinner from 8 to 9, 10 if it’s eating out. At 11 people are preparing to go to bed in most of the country.

We do have family lunches and dinners occasionally, but that’s not an everyday thing, not even a weekly thing. Maybe a yearly thing. Sorry for not having huge houses and doing them at restaurants I guess?

Restaurants stop serving around 4 and start again after 7-8 because they need to clean between the lunch and dinner service. Wild concept I know. Also it’s not feasible to keep the kitchen staff there when nobody goes to eat.

The way you present the country is pretty racist to say the least.

I’m Spanish, from Spain. We eat dinner at 8-9, maybe 10 if it’s out, 11 is way too late to have dinner, people go to sleep before 12. I did the same outside of Spain too because of habits.

Lunch is at 2pm too.

Siesta (aka nap, idk why people idolise the word when there’s a direct translation) is right after lunch since eating gives sleepiness appparently, but that’s not really a thing anymore, we need to work until 5-6pm and there’s shit to be done after that.

Idk about the Spanish people outside of Spain you know, but I’m from Spain, living in Spain. Oh, and most people start working at 8 although I try to find places where it’s 9-6 because I stay way too late, but that’s a me thing.

and he has joked about all of those interpretations on camera!

That dollar amount is higher than what several presidents of European countries earn. I’m sorry but if a project is based on donations from around the globe, you can’t then think of a salary that’s one of the highest in the world.

I read all of the comment chain and I perfectly understand that in San Francisco or LA the rent is huge and that people earn those numbers. If I’ll ever consider donating part of my Spanish salary, looking at that stupidly high number heavily disincentives me because what the fuck, living in one of the world’s most expensive places and expecting for people that live with a third of that money (with a salary that’s considered high!!) to donate is super entitled.

Don’t clean afterwards, clean while cooking. There are a lot of moments while cooking where you wait until X, use those to clean and organise. If you do it right, the moment where you serve all that needs cleaning is the last pot.

Most companies in Spain pay you a health insurance here so that it pays you the rest of your salary. (Besides free private doctor consultations and other stuff).

I’m pretty sure that with Spain’s position in all that matter, and it being inside Schengen, you are bullshitting.

That’s more of a Germanic vs Latin languages. Most genders on french and Spanish match.

Hard disagree, driving from Bilbao to Seville is like 8 hours, the flight is below 2. Accounting for airports and commutes, the plane method is still about 4h, that’s half the time and you can sleep.

Big difference with cyborg and robots. cyborgs are augmented humans.
