#race in Greece

[alatismeni-theitsa]

Hello, I'm editing a Wikipedia article and correcting some awkward translations which could be improved. It's clear that in quoting English articles, they translated "people of colour" in the most literal sense as "άνθρωποι του χρώματος." I found this to be kinda... clunky? Inaccurate? But I don't know if I should change it since there isn't really a perfect translation for "people of colour" that might not be offensive. Are you or anyone else aware of any terms that might be more fitting? Should I leave it as it is?

OOOF "άνθρωποι του χρώματος" sounds REALLY bad, I am not gonna lie 😂 I wouldn't leave it there. It's both offensive in meaning and in grammar.

"Έγχρωμος" was an old term used but it's outdated and better not to use it if you encounter it in the wild. PoC (English term) having a "color" in Greek can be potentially offensive on its own. Black people in Greece occasionally reclaim "Μαύρος" and some Greeks also use it in a positive way, but some non-Black people use it as a slur. So I think the reactions to this word are mixed. "Brown"/"Καφέ" doesn't even exist as a characterization for humans here. Plus, there are PoC who have the same skin hue as native Greeks (or even lighter), so how can native Greeks say that they are "colored" and the others are not?

I have seen "Έλληνες χρώματος" and "Έγχρωμος" also used in a positive tone but always from people who weren't in these groups. They are direct translations of the English terms and they are just colloquial among Greeks.

The term "Φυλετικές μειονότητες" could be a good translation. I hear the term "φυλετικές διακρίσεις" instead of "ρατσισμός" often. We don't actually believe people belong in φυλές but we had to have a term to describe this phenomenon so we adopted something akin to the Anglophone model.

Here are some examples of famous sites using the term. If you google the term you'll find more examples like this.

nah because crofty is genuinely insane because why would you say that about your coworker???? and to his face??? "this man knows lewis hamilton. friends, teammates, childhood buddies, rivals, everything but a lover." hello???? why are you saying that to nico rosberg's face???? why are you, as the lead f1 commentator, writing fanfiction about your coworker???? about him and his ex???? and also, what an insane thing to say about someone else's relationship!!! "everything but a lover"... just show them having gay sex onscreen, it would be less intimate than whatever the hell you just said.

The Heraean Games by Prospero Piatti

The Heraea was an Ancient Greek festival in which young girls competed in a footrace. The race was held every four years at Olympia, and probably took place around the same time as the ancient Olympic Games.

f1 isn't on the state tv channel here since last year and as if having to pay to watch fp1,2,3, quali was not enough, this year they decided to make us pay to watch the race live, or we'll have to watch it at a different time 😐

Now that's a SicIre AU set in America. Also one that recreates the IP dynamic of Harry being unnecessarily macho while Michele was like 'Ohhh, he's so dreamy <3' From minute one. The other workers, like Herakles and Feliks, wonder when the Irishman is gonna realize it. Harry knocks himself out with his own spade during one stunt to play the tough guy. After they did rush to his aid, Michele looks at Herakles like 'I can't NOT fuck him, can I?'.

Ok so under the announcement of the cast for the newest lanthimos film on Instagram was a lady complaining about the lack of diversity (which itself is problematic) and there was a guy that said "well at least the director is not white". Where are the hills so that I can run to them??? Will they EVER stop categorizing people with fucking COLOURS???? Please dear god

Duuudee... "The world is burning and the pussy combs its hair"... Sure, diversity is a honorable cause, but at the same time, the cast can be representative of a population and not look "diverse" to US-American eyes. You can judge a filmmaker when you see they avoid including different people in general when they should and it'd be natural to include them. But to seek US type of diversity for diversity's sake (which is a different statement from diversity not having to excuse its existence) causes drama to just satisfy someone's self righteous sentiment. And this attitude shows from the statement "at least the director is not white" 🙄 "Greeks are white or not" USians challenge 😂😂

Colin McRae Rally 2 – snow, sand and tea at the country house

For a long time, I planned to get to genre of racing games. Rally, for example. Or something like arcade racing to play. For diversity. I like such not complicated games like shooters. For example, second Quake. So, you walk and shoot. Complete a labyrinth. Or like a racing games. You ride. Make a turns from time to time.

To speed down in turns. Maybe, it is more about arcade racing games. So, I planned for a long time to reach racing games genre. Except shooters.

And this moment is here. First such game for me it is a rally style game. Colin McRae Rally 2. It is rather well designed and interesting racing game. With a different game modes. And very good about graphics. Even more to say – excellent. And very involving game process. And I make a race with mode single race. You have several tracks at your choice. Different. There is sands, Greece. There is snow, some northern country. There is Italy, or something like that. And several cars to select. And when you are on the race, to change view. Something like view from a hood, some aside, and more far view. More close view. It is very remarkable.

In such games, for a long time, already, developers know how to make a very cool and cinematic like a movie replays. This thing, already, looks like a movie. So, here we have a cool replay too. So, right after the race, you see how you do it. As a movie!

Racing tracks are interesting. You need to learn track. As labyrinth, something like this. To know what places you can go faster. And what place has a raw turn, or big turn. And what place you need to be more carefully. Car can go in aside. And rush into the bushes. And also, you can ride straight in a tree on some winter track. So, this game has lots of places, where you can go off the track! And this makes this game interesting. Also, it is not hard to play this game. And you can simply have some tracks during your weekend. To make a circle after circle. And do like this. For free time and relax, I do one more circle.

And it has a very cool and stylish game menu. It is a style. That’s for sure. And game at the very start, it has a movie intro. Such an intro, u know. Cool intro. Video. The way you need to drive in game. To make a cool turns. Sunlight straight into the eyes. Such a beautiful and epic frames. And this game is play like something that in this movie intro, same style. Full action. Good arcade level. It is goes dynamically and not boring at all!

Right now, I practiced in single race. I played in this mode only. For relax. But, game also has another game modes. Which I will try one by one! At this moment game gives you mass of emotions. A real rally! Emotions, drive. So, game has it. And, I repeat, that I even don’t try all game modes yet. And I all the time do one more circle. I drink a tea. And make a circle. So, it is excellent summer countryside retro weekend.

In some old times I played in first part. When it was just released. It was a new game in those times. I remember that. And I launch it. In those times. And I like a lot first part. And only one sad thing, that I have a disc with game only for one day. To play. To try it. New for me genre of rally racing games.

And now I start from second part. So, I think, I need to try first part again too. Game control is light and good. There is automatically transmission. Well, you can set a manual too. But, I play with auto. So, it is more easier.

Several times I try attack time mode. And, as idea, you are with yourself. With your ghost. As it named in a racing games. It is also rather nice things. Try to get a better result, than your previous best result. Make a circle. Make a second one. It is appearing at the track your ghost. And you try to make your result better. You have a competition with yourself. So, I spent some time in this mode too.

But, most of time, I pay attention to single race mode. I like, mainly, arcade racing games. With good graphics. Some diversity at the racing track. Cars. So, I ride with virtual wind. Who don’t like this games. Game makes a most positive impressions. From a very first meet. And ahead it is still a summer days. Country house. Retro gaming. And new game modes! Which it will so cool to try! But single race is really good! It is racing cool!

Playing little games. From time to time i like to play videogames. And write about it. Dima Link is making retro videogames, apps, a little of music, write stories, and some retro more.

The Hoplitodromos "Race of the Hoplites" Ancient Olympics

by Tom Lovell

The first Olympic games were a one-day, one-competition event. The event was a footrace, and the event was held in Olympia, Greece, in 776 BC. The games were held roughly every four years until AD 393. One of the ancient events was the "hoplitodromos," a footrace where athletes competed in heavy armour, shield, and helmet.

After the crew of the Misty Bramble bought the ship from their Captain, no one took up the position of Captain. But at least Ship can look the part.
