    Yes, the point I’m trying to make is that people’s color is only tangent is racism (but of course it helps to highlight differences between different group of people). That’s why Roma, even if white, are still discriminated against. Sorry if I misunderstood your point, or not made mine clear

    The problem is that humans are subjective in my opinion. Water is not (or at least not the the degree humans are). With the same pressure, all water freeze at the same temp. Ask a Minnesotan or a Floridian (just to remain within the US, can use Greek/Norwegian for EU) what “cold” means, and they’ll have VERY different answers

    As usual, there should be a bit of flexibility in there. I am not saying “oh, it’s 0C, therefore ALL water in all town is frozen , lets wait until it gets to 1C so all water melt”. But more on the line “oh, its around 0C (+ or - 5C), lets be careful while driving because some of the streets might have ice”. Farenheit freezing temp is 32 I think? Thats VERY arbitrary. A lot more than C.

    I always found fahrenheit a lot more arbitrary: in Celsius 0 is the freezing of water, so if you are driving/walking, that is a very important temperature to look out for. Also 30 being hot or 100 being hot outside does not really make a difference. Some people find 30 hot, some other find it OK, since its subjective anyway
