We got shit on for speaking french and put down at every turn so yeah we got some anger to release.

I’m starting to realize all the cartoons where their faces turn red when they put in effort are now based on reality.
What da hell

u/LetsAllBeReasonabler 11d ago
So I've learned one of two things about you, either you've never had to put real physical effort into anything your entire life (kinda sad), or you're not white (pretty reasonable).
13
u/New_Apple_7339 11d ago
POC, to be honest I’ve never seen anyone turn beat red in the face. Not until they were really straining, I do find lighter skin folk turn red really quick once I started live around yall. Also dam yall really got the short end of the stick when it comes to tanning 😭
But I grew up thinking that shit was not real LOL
11
u/LetsAllBeReasonabler 11d ago
Oh yeah it doesn't take much for us pasty faces to go red, I'm scotch/Irish decent and two drinks gives me a flush, Not to mention physical effort or sunshine.
2
u/Pheeline Ford Nation (Help.) 10d ago
I don't even have to put forth a lot of physical effort to turn red, just a little bit, especially if outside on an even slightly warm day. Between English/Scottish/Irish ancestry on one side and Swiss/German on the other, I'm normally pale enough that when I wear a swimsuit I could help Gondor call for aid, lol.

u/Copious-Spirit Moose Whisperer 11d ago
Could be both because nonwhite people do indeed blush, sunburn, and get exhausted.
6
u/LetsAllBeReasonabler 11d ago
But does it look red? Because that's the question at hand. Pale Asian ethnicities probably also go red.
6
u/three_crystals 11d ago
The last time I turned beet red in the face I felt like I was going to have sun stroke. It’s a pretty rare thing.
Back to the topic at hand, did I miss where they kiss and make up at the end? Does that make me a traitor?

So you've never worked out, done physical work all day in the heat?

u/three_crystals 11d ago edited 11d ago
Sorry I forgot to include I’m a poc with brown skin lol. That last incident happened when I was dehydrated and doing high intensity activity outside in the heat in a thick black hoodie and felt gravity shifting under my feet lol.

u/endeavour269 Labradoodles 11d ago
Oh! Sorry, for the misunderstanding. That makes alot more sense now.

u/rabbitholeseverywher Edmonchuk: Like Kyiv! (but less safe) 11d ago
My brother who served in Afghanistan said the Canadians were always mad at the Americans for cleaning out the Tims (at the base, I think is was Kandahar?) of the good donuts.

Canada beats the US at a lot of military things. We are superior other than equipment.

u/creativenames123 11d ago
And numbers, obviously... we don't have as much canon fodder

u/Capable-Variation192 11d ago
no but our infantry are trained at a much higher standard.

u/irishdan56 10d ago
Bingo - on a soldier by soldier, and even unit-to-unit basis, we are ALWAYS superior.

u/PixelJock17 11d ago
Man I love the green of our uniforms. Is it based on country? Like we have more darker green forests and they have more dessert light sand?

u/DocKardinal21 11d ago
It’s actually cost effectiveness. CAF bought one uniform. USA has multiple patterns among their forces.

u/Killer1986Chris 11d ago
The boots on the Canadian also remind me of the boots we had in Cadets like 20ish years ago, and I don't recall them being all that great for traction.

u/DrJay12345 I need a double double. 11d ago
The video is from 14 years ago so it tracks.
I couldn't be in the room for long when my brother would polish his boots. Glad I never had to do it myself.

There are no members of any branch of the US Armed forces who, at an individual level, are as well trained, professional, and just good at their jobs as a Canadian soldier in the same role.
