Idiot randos in chat telling my guild leaders they'll never make GW2 partner because they are white when:

A - lol no, they aren't white, and one of them is an immigrant who sometimes struggles remembering what the damn word they want is in English and
B - Have you seen who makes partner? They probably do weigh diversity a bit, but the game's main ambassadors are like white people from US, England and France ffs. Everyone who has made partner has significant followings and most make content. No one is not getting in for being white, there isn't a limited number of spots

Fuck, some people just feel so oppressed for being white, istg

I think I am bad at spotting when someone is light skinned POC and not white, but recently I've had a lot of '... you seriously think this person is white?' reactions recently

A bit about Olle Bolle's artist

Thomas Dambo is a Danish recycling artist whose work is mostly in Denmark. I heard about him when his Pacific NW series was announced, but didn't know how many sculptures he has. He has a ton of works across the US, even some in Singapore, Australia, etc. I am surprised I didn't hear about his work sooner. Also, Olle Bolle is a newer installation than I thought! It actually didn't take me forever and a day to get down there.

I might have to go and visit that Vashon one up in Washington.
