          There's also just acclimation. White people (colonists and other exploiters) died of the heat on a constant basis when they fucked around in West Africa. Some areas were even somewhat spared from settler-colonization due to this, particularly some hot + humid islands off the coast.

          Those white people grew up in less-humid, less-hot Europe, then went down to the equator and passed out while sitting on their butts.

          You can also observe this with pretty much any Southern Californian that moves somewhere with cold winters, but in reverse. Those kids freeze their butts off and wear parkas on August evenings.

                  It's a great way to check the room for closet racists lol. Just say some negative shit about fragile white skin that can't handle being in the outdoors most places or light eyes that deal very poorly with bright light, etc etc.

                  And uncritical support for colonists dying of skin cancer and heat stroke in Western Africa.

                      Coming up with a triple irony-poisoned bit about how white people's fragility is actually a disability and you're a bigot for joking about them. So much for the woke left!

        I'm PEE OH CEE and I fucking HATE hot weather. I'n from California so I'm acclimated, but fuck this shit lmao. I would move to Washington or Oregon if I could but those are both Mayotown USA

        I think it bothers us less though because Mestizo master race because we're darker and our eyes also being darker are less bothered by intense sunlight. Maybe it's some other calipers shit too, when I worked in a kitchen all the Asian and white employees never got used to how hot it was in back of house but everyone who was dark skinned didn'y seem to care. Maybe there's just some wide ranging genetic adaptations for the heat in people whose ancestry is from hot climates? My dad is barely even bothered by 90 degree heat, despite not having lived in Mexico for decades.

        I have European friends who have been to hot climates and they say it was unbearable, they couldn't get used to it

            I would not expect POC to lack cold tolerance, but it would make a lot of sense for them to have gotten some sort of heat tolerance in a similar fashion to how they got their UV tolerance.
