You know there is actually no biological genetic reason for race. Race is a geographic and, to some degree, a social construction.

I find that comment very humours and ironic.

Oriental is a style, as in type of furniture... It is not a race. And this whole view just makes me laugh.




Ixion, obviously you are not in the top 30 fighter tier

As in the DNA profile of a Swedish man has as much chance of matching up with an Ethopian as it does another Swede.

Except for all those bits that determine skin-color, hair, and susceptibility to various diseases

Which make up a miniscule amount of your DNA profile. I don't have my notes with me at the moment but there have been tertiary studies done comparing the DNA profile of racially and ethnically different and similar people (european, africans, asians, etc) and there was no correlation between the race of the person and who their DNA profile would more closely match.

EDIT: It's like that silly old myth about black people being good sportspeople because they have an extra muscle in their legs. It's completly untrue.

The fact that they're DNA has adapted to endure heavy and constant heat, as well as an extra thousand years of being hunters doesn't hurt though.

Its not an assured edge in every child born, but its a definite possibility that certain african americans are going to have the genetics to back up the stereotype.

ok.. the reason I found that comment funny and ironic is that for MOST species in the world, scientists normally say that the geographic location, and the environment in which a subspecies lives, will determine its traits and charachteristics. i.e. Geography defines a race/species/sub-species.

Lastest theory I heard was that black people are better at sports because slave traders chose people who were more fit to come to america...

Personally, I think its because they have more bastkeball movies

I worded my first post badly, but I'm saying that race has no correlation to your DNA that scientists have been able to find thus far.

Back to original topic!

We all know Poles make the fiercest players in Lusternia. Hundreds of years of fighting with all of our neighbours (mainly Germany and Russia though) made the nation very patriotic, but also very combat-keen. We also throw ourselves even against hopeless odds. <--- shameless generalisation

Presenting, Lusternian Polish team: Ekard AKA Ekard, Kashim AKA Corbenic, Cuber AKA Aerenna. All combatants. And at least one of them is a very good one. It's 33%. Could have been better. But could have been much worse.

EDIT: For the laugh-impaired people: this post is not to be taken seriously.

...you left out the part where the Poles usually got their arses kicked .

Details.

If you mean by 'very good' to be top tier...i'm affraid ekard isn't a top tier fighter. He's not bad but if you threw him being aslaran with a couple of high precision weapons against the rest of the top notch, well most of us would take him down.

No offence but corbenic doesn't even register as a threat, and aerenna isn't bad defensivley but lacks the means to take down anyone really good.



Didn't the polish army lead a cavalry charge into the german army?

I know .


Yup. Cavalry vs tanks. However, we must remember two things:
1. Cavaliers had the same equipment as normal infantry, plus horses. Including granades, bombs and other anti-tank equipment. You didn't expect them to swing at the enemy with sabres? Polish people are (generally) berserkers, but not idiots.
2. We actually won that battle. Really.

What does it mean if I'm half polish half russian?

Oh, and it turns out that DNA is not as defining as people try to make it.

actually in my experience the best gamers usually are Polish, then Korean, then everybody else

Not saying it has any genetic reasons, more so because of cultural support in gaming.

ATHANA YOU'RE GOOD AT PACMAN TOO!?!?! WE ASIANS ROCK.

None taken, I can't fight at all. And I have no time to learn. Or even play.


That would mean you can drink a lot. It's actually proven Russians and Poles can withstand more alcohol. It's a generalization though, I, for example, don't drink.

So THAT's the reason I always kick your butt. It's in my genes. Austrians ftw.

I remember watching a documentary a couple years ago that said Westerners (west european mainly) tended to be better at withstanding alcohol since long ago, to purify water other people would distill it somehow while europeans just threw alcohol in it. Or something.

I'm Asian (From the Philippines to be exact) and yet I'm not that good, but I learn quick though after a hours in this game especially from tips and advice from friends and IG enemies.
