I’d say xenophobes are a reality but fortunately a minority and their xenophobia is generally low intensity. YMMV if you are poorer and/or darker, but I think in general you’ll be welcome if you are coming to stay, specially if you make an effort to learn the language. If the place you want to go has a regional language (Galician, Catalan, Basque, Asturian…) nothing gets to most locals’ hearts quicker than a foreigner learning that too (and the regional governments normally offer free courses).

Please don’t come to Spain for that. We have too many people coming for that and they bring more bad than good :(

Nice! Child slave labor next?

No, they have expressed that rule in terms of “obtaining […] sexual acts from another person in exchange for remuneration”.

When it comes to toast I’m not picky, the supermarket’s brand is good enough.

Strawberry jelly with cocoa spread is better than strawberry jelly with peanut butter ._.

It’s a fact: “nothing” is written in stone.

As a wog myself, I won’t be offended if I’m not forcibly inserted in the Parliament’s acknowledgement; so I invite Mr Weir to discover other ways to make me feel “included” if that’s his wish, and focus the acknowledgement on what the acknowledgement is about.

In the case of India probably they are more present in daily life. I’m not Indian and I’m quite ignorant of Indian culture but I don’t think there’s a masculine equivalent of the hijra (in terms of participation in social life as a group). Might not be The reason, but might play a role. But again, seems that everywhere in the world trans men are more invisible so I don’t really know.

Pècora, from mala pècora, a sheep that goes astray from the herd. And fura :)

Catalan has sheep to mean slut. Woodworm for somebody that pesters or annoys insistently. Ferret for a sly person. A rat, contrary to other languages where it’s a traitor, is more used for stingy people.

Both. “Cabrón” is specifically billygoat. Goat is used in constructions like “como una cabra” in Spain to mean crazy.

Thanks.

I don’t know Kotlin but in other languages “(im)mutable” refers to the value, not the type.

They are probably referencing the balm.

I don’t! I need to know!

They should transform the footage of him being a bigot into part of the exhibition. Add him to the credits and thank-yous for unintentionally helping raise awareness.

Four words and they couldn’t put them on the headline. “He ran for governor”.

Yes, met too, sometimes I’m not able to work out the counterexample by myself.
