Gallente scientists working for a public health research project for the University of Caille have released findings that dispel the myth of "dirty Minmatar".
In fact, the research shows that Minmatar, living in the Republic, have some of the lowest populations of skin bacteria !
The research was conducted as part of a project intended to test responses of interstellar organisations to disease outbreaks.
Republic Minmatar were found to have lower overall populations of skin bacteria, while Gallente were found to have highest diversity of skin bacteria populations. Amarr populations appeared to have the lowest diversity of skin bacteria.
Jita residents were found to have the greatest overall population of skin bacteria, raising concerns that the vast amount of interstellar travellers going to and from Jita could facilitate an uncontrollable outbreak of a disease.
Reasons for the differences between population groups were the subject of much speculation by the researchers involved.
"I think cultural factors, such as the importance of tattoos and displaying them, are the key here", said one researcher. "Unclothed skin is generally drier and cooler than clothed skin, and so is not as hospitable to many bacteria species."
"The Federation is a lot more cosmopolitan than the Empire. I think that explains why Gallente people have much more diverse skin bacteria populations than Amarr.", said another researcher.
"Jita. It's a public health nightmare. Someone flies in from Maurasi, sneezes in Jita 4-4, then flies on to New Caldari. Thousands, if not millions are exposed to that sneeze", said another researcher.

Lowest diversity. Not lowest population total.
Something along lines of Minmatar have 1000 bacteria of 10 different types. Amarr have 2000 bacteria of 2 different types.
Obviously, those are just numbers to illustrate the point.
Low diversity possibly from wearing gloves or something, I don't know.

We also take baths and scrub diligently. We are also not in the habit of passing out drunk and sleeping in our own vomit.
That might explain the lack of bacteria compared to the Gallente.

I must have missread that...
I guess that just means that only special bacteria likes Amarr then.

I really tire of the insult war between the Amarr and Minmatar. Since I've began my service with the State Protectorate, I've found the Minmatar I've encountered to be admirable-- if sometimes devious-- warriors, and I've long had great respect for their ship designs even if they are not anywhere near as advanced as Caldari ships. The Rifter, though now outclassed in most combat in the cluster, is a masterwork of ingenuity that's a testament to their skill and intelligence.
I would caution our Amarr allies that to underestimate the enemy is folly. Respect their capabilities, and save the insults for the bar after you've got the killmail. |

Don't be silly! They're not insulting us, they're gently teasing us, in the manner of a rough-and-tumble household. After all, is not their entire purpose to uplift our souls and bring us to salvation? Are not the Amarr the bearers of the supreme burden, individually responsible for the deliverance of humanity unto God?
Every time one of us falls, unReclaimed and still damned, it is their failure, their sin. In their deepest hearts, they cannot possibly hold us as enemies... we are precious, treasures whose loss will weigh not only on them, stand as a black mark not only on their souls, but on all of their children, and their childrens' children, on down unto the very End of Time.
Insults and attacks that harden our hearts would only drive us further from God, work directly against their divinely-ordained goals... no, these cannot be insults. They must only be teasing, meant to remind us that though we and the Amarr have had our difficulties, and despite the fact that there are some lingering hurts from things said and done in the heat of the moment, that truly, we are all one great, numerous family, and that we'll eventually resolve our differences and come together in that glorious state that is the god-given birthright of all humanity.

I may yet become desperate enough for a date with a girl that I accept even a Minmatar. But it would have to be a Minmatar whose hygiene is somewhat more substantial than rainwater. |

The desire for the insult war is mutual. It allows them to "put us in our place", and it lets us make the Empire look bad. I imagine it's therapeutic for both sides. I wouldn't call it friendly ribbing... I think it's more of a begrudging way to admit without admitting that the other side is still people and not just faceless evil/race to be enslaved. At least, I sort of see it that way.
Doesn't mean I've ever interfaced with a citizen of the Empire or Kingdom that wasn't the the most smug, proud, arrogant, condescending, shamelessly hypocritical, utterly-caught-up-in-their-own-hubris sob I've ever met. If I ever find an Amarrian who doesn't make me want to kick their face in after half-an-hour of conversation, I'll give them +10 standing, half the ISK in my wallet, and publicly announce to the whole IGS that I was a racist a**hole.
That said, the Gallente are their own brand of people whose faces I want to rearrange, but at least there's some that are willing to admit they're wrong and treat you with a decent amount of respect.
I admire the Caldari. You generally look down on everybody that's your boss, you, a member of your company, a member of your mega, a fellow Caldari, in that order, and you can be the most knee-jerkish people I've ever met, yet you're honest in how you view others. If I manage to earn your notice, and maybe, eventually, your respect, you'll give me every bit of it. I continue to enjoy serving with the CalMil.

The Ammatar are to us what a True Amarr who runs off to be a Blood Raider is to you.
