Meanwhile in Germany [high treason]:

Germany signs agreement with Kenya to bring in SKILLED [emphasis mine] workers and plug labor market gaps

The agreement was signed during a visit to Germany by Kenyan President William Ruto, who met with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

Scholz told reporters after a signing ceremony that it was an important agreement that marks an effort by Germany and Kenya to cooperate more closely on migration.

“This can help us to compensate for a shortage of skilled workers,” Scholz said, adding that Germany is already feeling the impact of such a labor shortage and that it “will be with us for years and decades to come.”

Germany has grappled for years with the NEED TO [emphasis mine] attract more skilled workers from outside the European Union. Experts say the country NEEDS [emphasis mine] about 400,000 skilled immigrants each year as its aging workforce shrinks.

'If you're looking for TV that's not subversive/queer/woke/diverse in any way, made post-Covid, and not competition shows or documentary, it pretty much doesn't exist in English anymore.'

Best answer.

Gay: showing or characterized by cheerfulness and lighthearted excitement; merry.

We have to add that nobody talks about Amazon's series – anywhere on the web, not to mention real life. So they cannot make reports about ratings and similar things...

'In 2020, following the death of George Floyd, the American Ornithological Society received a petition from the Bird Names For Bird's group, which emphasized that these names served as "isolating and demeaning reminders of oppression, slavery, and genocide."'

Insanity has reached a new level.

And (perhaps) they should move to Africa, if living among white people is so terrifying.

'Same when my Reddit account got "permanently suspended". Helped me to break bad habits. Thanks Reddit admin faggots!'

My brother got full bans after fullbans from reddit from quoting Robert Jordan, and pointing out that his main characters are white, and finally, today, left that midden forever. Better late than never!

Ah, I just saw the skin colour of the main character...

(Originally it was other colour, not black.)

Just an example: he threatened fans with things like this one: (not an exact quote) 'More criticism means I will turn more heterosexual characters into homosexual characters!'

Does a sane human being say things like this one? I don't think so.

'Willing to bet he'd change the ending too so she doesn't die.'

For me, the story ends with KOD, I don't care about Sanderson's writings, and her death was not decided by Jordan (!), it was Sanderson's idea, so Egwene lives on in my head.

By the way, the most hated characters in every poll I saw in the last 25+ years were Faile, Egwene, and Gawyn...

From Chapter One: 'Gray eyes and the reddish tinge to his hair came from his mother' (Rand's pov - no different skin colour!)

'Rand did look a great deal like the Aielmen, with his height and gray blue eyes and reddish hair' (Eg's pov (TSR) - no different skin colour!)

(Also from TSR: 'the children showed it on their too-pale faces')

No black skin, no tilted eyes etc.

" "That's just foolishness, Matrim Cauthon," Egwene cut in angrily. "Nynaeve says ..." She broke off, her cheeks turning pink." [PINK!!!] "and the look she gave Thom Merrilin was not as friendly as it had been. "It is not right to make ... It isn't ..." Her face went redder, and she fell silent."

'[Egwene's] face went as white as snow'

'Egwene stared back at him, a faint blush rising in her cheeks.'

'For some reason, Elisa's [Egwene's sister] face turned bright red. Very bright red.'

'Perrin blushed very red'

'Perrin still did not look up, but his cheeks turned red'

'They smiled at him [Perrin], and he cleared his throat hoarsely. He was afraid to look around; his face was as red as a beet'

"You wool-headed witlings!" the Wisdom snapped. She bristled from head to foot; her eyes glittered, and bright spots of red burned on her cheeks.

And I will not list them all, but Jordan described the main cast as white people: white, snow white, pink, sligthly red, red, bright red, very bright red, very red, flushed heavily, scarlet, crimson, two sunsets, purple, green, pale, beyond pale, tanned (face and hands), white knuckles, bright spots of color, almost dark (from anger), plus "shoulder was going to be black and blue shortly", "The purple splotches faded to brown, and the brown and yellow paled, some disappearing altogether."

"once the show cast was announced"

That announcement killed my interest in the show forever. They don't care about even being faithful to such a basic thing as skin colour then I don't care about the show, because they will change everything.
