* Tattoos. If you're at a public pool in Japan, tattoos are often seen as a signifier that you are a gang member, while in (for example) the US, the quality and content of the tattoo are usually the only issue with all but the most conservative. |

** The western acceptance of tattoos is [[Newer Than They Think|a very recent phenomenon]]. As late as the 1990's, tattoos were more often than not confined exclusively to criminals, sailors, and some musical subcultures. |

* No one today would name a sports team something like the "San Antonio Wetbacks", "Chicago Polacks", or "New York Darkies", yet some people have no trouble with the equally racist "[[w:Washington Redskins name controversy|Washington Redskins]]" or "Edmonton Eskimos" -- both of which were ''finally'' renamed in the 2020s ("[[w:Washington Commanders|Washington Commanders]]" in 2022 and "[[w:Edmonton Elks|Edmonton Elks]]" in 2021, respectively). |

* To quote the former entry in Values Resonance, "anyone who's a fan of strict separation could pick up a copy of John Leland's ''[http://classicliberal.tripod.com/misc/conscience.html Rights of Conscience Inalienable]'' and find it perfectly cogent or even ''progressive'' by modern standards." Except that the essay is based on a false choice between values of people and the government, with no mention made to evidence, and the assumption of the existence of god. Mr. Leland also has trouble with the concept of a man doing evil while he believes himself to be doing good. Many similar claims and assumptions therein have been disproven by Evolution, which is fairness Mr. Leland had no knowledge of. The original troper obviously found it convincing, but many who do have knowledge of evolution, would not. |
