Issue with the Affirmative Action issue....
Why is the college in the issue an ALL WHITE college. What about countries that are not white at all or where whites are a minority. My nation is Chinese. Anyone else get this issue? What do YOU think? I myself think the issue should somehow be rephrased.

There's a western slant to the issues. Another issue speaks of Christians (what if your country has no Christians?) The same applies to all the made up population groups / religions / etc... While it's possible to rephrase all issues to never be specific, it would make them horrible to read and a lot less fun.

Thats right. I have recieved this issue, but it was not a problem for me, as my nation has huge quantities of all racial groups, ethnic groups and religions. When this is put into context with all the issues that mention Christianity, it makes Christians appear to be a group that try to force thier opinions on all other groups. Realistic enterpretation, huh :wink:

Not really... just see what they did with other issues involving minorities. Bigtopians, Liliputans, ect... are these your typical western minorities? Other issues don't mention REAL western minorities but why does this issue mention the REAL western "majorities". Why couldn't they edit the issue to read in the same way other issues read?
Why don't they have issues with Buddhists, Taoists, ancestor worshipers and Confucianists? After all... they have issues with one real-life religion why not include other real-life religions? ... Why don't I submit one?... I can't think of any! AGGGHHH!

Ugh... I hope you're kidding...
Just about EVERY religion out there tries to force their opinions on all other groups... There are militants in every major religion. Any religion that doesn't have any militants are too small to have them.
