115 cardinals are busy picking a new Pope. I have a funny feeling the American guy is going to get it, but we'll find out. Waiting for the first smoke from the Sistine Chapel chimney. So exciting. Some of the Cardinals have been on such a journey, but they've taken Catholicism and made it their own.

Does anyone care who the Pope is? Could as new Pope persuade you to bother God? Will Catholics continue to avoid contraception and abortion? Exciting times. Exciting times.
-
I merely care as a result of numbers of people that identify as Catholic. The dissolution of the Church will be a long time away, but I hope it comes after the end of Islam, as one is worse than the other.
-
Smoke! There's some smoke!
But its black smoke so after the first round of voting ... Pope? Nope!
-
I would only care who the new Pope is if I thought anything would change... but I'm sure they'll still be raping boys, and enslaving girls in their laundries for centuries to come.
-
Yeah, no one can accuse the Catholic church of being boring.
-
New Pope selected... let us see.
-
<waiting for Thork's appraisal>

My money is on the American. Could be the guy from South America if they want a politically correct puppet or even the Ghanian chap, buy that really would just be a statement of submission to affirmative action.
-
This is taking ages. I know they have to check his balls etc before they show him to everyone, but how long does that take?

And the Argentinian guy won. I didn't see that coming.
Pope Francis the first. Interesting picking a name that has not been used before. Original names are really rare.

Gary Glitter for pope.

OMG, it's an old white guy!

that's because God is an old white guy

The media have been breathlessly reporting about the pope, but haven't once mentioned this http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/belief/2011/jan/04/argenitina-videla-bergoglio-repentance (http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/belief/2011/jan/04/argenitina-videla-bergoglio-repentance)

Umm. Yeah. The population of Argentina is about 90-odd% white.

I guess Hazbollah doesn't know that the Americas were conquered by murderous white Catholics. Bergoglio is Italian, his parents were immigrants.
Twitter racists were all worried about a black US president and a Mexican pope. lol

That's a little surprising because if they moved to the USA they would have to tick the 'Hispanic' box on their census forms, not the 'white' box.
-
No, they don't have to tick the "Hispanic" box unless they want to.
-
Race and Hispanic origin are two separate concepts in the federal statistical system.
People who are Hispanic may be of any race.
People in each race group may be either Hispanic or Not Hispanic.
Each person has two attributes, their race (or races) and whether or not they are Hispanic.

I'm not interested in any of this politically correct gibberydo. There are the white people and the others. Argentinians are others.

Then how the hell are you supposed to count them? What a stupid system.

Weren't his parents both from Italy? He's a fucking European.

Oh, I see. When you say 'white' you mean 'nordic'? Or 'aryan?' because that's pretty much the only way you can discount most Argies as 'white.'

When I say 'white' I mean 'not brown'. I hope that helps.

Many Argentinians are of Germanic/Nordic descent as well. I don't know about most, but there are a lot of blonde people in Argentina.

So black people are white?

Almost every modern measure of race or ethnicity is based on self-identification of race or ethnicity.

Unless you're Thork. In which case he'll identify it for you.
Which makes me wonder how he'd classify Martin Sheen

White or Hispanic?
Take all the time you need.

This is an Argentinean football player. Look at how "brown" he is, Thork.

Your picture failed.
Instead below is the most famous Argentinian footballer of them all. Diego Maradona.

He's Hispanic. He's not white. In fact he's kinda brown.

I think he's doing an OK job so far with his whole humility theme. Now if he could stop the raping kids stuff, he'd be awesome.

That's because the image is in your cache. Upload it with a website like tinypic and we'll be able to see it.

I copied and pasted the link as I do with all images, it's not on my computer to upload. Anyway, I don't care enough. Thork can just search image "Argentinean" like I did and see all the whiteys.

Not upload, host. I'm a noob.

Through the magic of Google, I have deduced that Rooster is talking about Esteban Cambiasso:

He is rather white.

Actually no, but he is even whiter. The guy I posted wasn't blonde. Argentina must be full of whites.
-
Wikipedia suggest about ~80% of Argentina is white, though I wouldn't put it past myself to have misinterpreted that.

According to the CIA World Factbook for Argentina (https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/ar.html):
Ethnic groups:
white (mostly Spanish and Italian) 97%, mestizo (mixed white and Amerindian ancestry), Amerindian, or other non-white groups 3%
