An anonymous reader shares a report: Google executives shared the stage with Xiaomi chiefs at a media event in New Delhi on Tuesday as the Chinese phone maker unveiled its "new flagship" Mi A1 smartphone. Google's presence at the event was essential. Xiaomi's Mi A1 is the latest phone to be launched under Google's Android One program, a three-year-old initiative from Google, which in the past year has been presumed dead by many. It's anything but that, Google executives said. The Xiaomi Mi A1 smartphone features a 5.5-inch full-HD (1080x1920 pixels) display. It also offers a duo of 12-megapixel rear cameras, one with telephoto capability and 2X optical zoom feature. On the front, for the selfie enthusiasts is a 5-megapixel shooter. The dual-SIM capable Mi A1 smartphone houses a Snapdragon 625 octa-core SoC, 4GB of RAM, 64GB internal storage, IR blaster, a 3080mAh battery, a fingerprint scanner, modems for 4G LTE bands in its gold- and black-coloured thin, full-metal unibody form factor. It is priced at $235, and will be available in dozens of markets including Mexico, India, Indonesia, Russia, and Singapore.

Racist is a term that is used by people, often themselves racist, who disagree with certain narratives.

The narrative is that black(brown, yellow, other) people cannot do certain things because of their skin color, that they actually need white people to help them, because they are incapable of doing so on their own. This narrative is found in all sorts of progressive thought. Because they(progressives) dress it up as "help", it gets a pass. And while they dress it up as "help", they aren't actually helping do anything other than advancing a narrative that is patently false, that people of color need white people's help.

And Because it is used far too much, it has lost its power so that when real racists actually show up, the message is lost because it has been diluted to the point of meaninglessness. You think I am kidding? Here is a rant calling rocking chairs racist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

For every goofball wacko on the far right, there is another one on the far left.
