What's the mentality behind these people /int/? Why would they convert to a religion that's from a completely different culture? I don't assume all of these are people who convert because of GF. Can anybody on here explain the psychology behind it? I don't mean for this to be a /pol/ thread, /pol/ is useless for discussion and I don't think this fits on /his/, so /int/ is the best bet

>What's the mentality behind these people /int/?
I remember some years ago reading some article about white Dutchmen who converted to Islam (not the same thing but I'm going to assume the situations are comparable enough). The idea is based on a lot of misinformation, from what I can tell from the interviews at least. You often hear such things from the converts as "Islam is such a beautiful religion of love!" or "In Islam, your relationship with God is so much closer and more personal than in Christianity!". Reeling in new converts with lies is nothing new to Islam (see: the Satanic Verses) because as soon as they recite the Shahada, you can simply kill them if they try to leave. I can only really recall one interview (and not even in the same article mind you) where a white convert to Islam actually behaved like a proper Muslim (read: radical) and actually wanted to take his black wife (also a convert) to Egypt where they could live like proper Muslims.
tl;dr: Muslims who seek to convert the native population actively decieve them into believing such things as "Islam is a religion of love" and "Muhammad was a feminist" or even "Christianity is the white man's religion, stick it to THE MAN and join Islam!". It's quite easy to advertise your religion when you yourself aren't concerned with telling the truth and the media is too afraid to correct you.
But that's just my two cents. Back to the regularly scheduled programming of racist memes.

Ignorant Americunt here with a few humble questions for any non-English speaking countries:
>is there such a concept as an American accent of your language
>if so, what do people think of it?
>if not, are there any foreign accents (e.g. German-accented French) people like/dislike of your language?
its funny
People find any american speaking spanish with an accent to be hilarious.
In a bad way.
the english accent in general sounds awful if you slap it into a language other than english
its hard to understand what you are saying
What the h*ck is up with these guys? Despite huge population and generally larger than average economies you barely here about them on the world stage. Unlike countries in North America, Europe, Middle-East, East Asia, Indian Subcontinent etc. they don't seem to have any major diplomatic ties to other countries and for the most part they seem to just keep to themselves. How come Latin America didn't get more involved in global affairs?
Cuba is the exception for being gommies I guess, but it hasn't been relevant since the USSR fell.

Vwnezuela is kind relevant tho and brazil is as relevant as Australia I guess.

But what does that mean? I need specifics!
I'm a half-Filipino. I hate my Filipino side. I hate it a lot. Do not ask me what my other half is. All you need to know is that I like it a million times better than my Filipino side.
I went to the Philippines recently. Stayed with some relatives. Middle-class folks in Quezon City. What a bunch of obnoxious idiots. You would think that "Filipino Pride" is a meme said in a half-joking self-deprecating manner, but... I'm afraid that Filipinos actually take it seriously and believe it.
>"Pinoy food is the best, eh?"
>"Ehhh pinoy girls are so much more beautiful."
>"Yeah, I tried fried chicken in the US. It's bad. Not as good as ours."
>"Hey man, we used to be as rich as Japan XX years ago."
>"You're part Filipino, but why can't you sing?"
Okay, listen up you motherfucking Filipino niggers. You need to calm your motherfucking shit. Pinoy Pride is the most laughable thing in the world. We Filipinos literally never accomplished a single noteworthy thing in our entire history. We Filipinos literally never invented a single noteworthy thing in our entire history. We Filipinos were never rich or powerful in our entire history. We Filipinos have been independent as a people for only 5% of our entire history. Tell me, bitch, what EXACTLY do we have to be proud about as Filipinos??? No, bitch nigger, I am not going to help you out just because we're both Filipinos. No, you cannot borrow 5 bucks just because we're both Filipinos.
Shut the FUCK up about Pinoy Pride. You are a joke. We are a joke. Filipinos are a fucking joke. Shut the FUCK up you pagpag-eating, karaoke-singing monkey-ass piece of shit. God I hate being Filipino. Fuck you God, Fuck you Jesus. Fuck YOU.
