Slenders & Copy And Paste

Slenders, also known as Copy and Pastes informally, are an ethnic group of Robloxians originating from the eastern Baoji steppes. They make the ethnic majority of the People's Republic of Slendernawa.

History

Roxanthropolgists unanimously agree that modern day Slenders descend from the Coastal OD'ers, an ancient tribe of Robloxians who settled in eastern Baoji in roughly 11000 BC. After the Fellorin War of 5472 BC, the Coastal OD'ers intermixed with new tribes that had been displaced by the conflict, most notably the Oderian Tribe of East Baoji and Korbloxian refugees that fled south to Baoji and Penguinia.

Numerous other tribes were mixed into the ethnic melting pot of coastal Baoji throughout the pre-AD Eastern history, even having a desert Guest tribe absorbed into the ethnicity.

In 45 AD, the Slender tribe fought against the Golden Horde, the main empire with control over most of Baoji. In 46 AD, the original nation of Slendernawa was founded, under the name Slendakras. The modern democratic republic was founded after the Dakras Mutiny in 1817, making Slendernawa one of the oldest republics in Baoji.

Roxanthropolgists suggest that the modern Slender race originated in the Middle Ages, however they only began to gain importance on the global scale in the mid-20th century.

Throughout the Middle Ages, archaeologists find a rich cultural history, however after the Robloxia World Wars, the devastation on the Eastern Baoji theatre caused a mass migration of slenders across Roblox, resulting in the seventh widest diaspora of people in Roblox, right ahead of the Furries and just behind the Adidasians.

Attributes

Slenders are divided into two groups - Slenders ( males - 58% ) and Copy and Pastes/CNPs ( females - 42% ). Slenders have a higher melanin content due to their native climate having tropical heat all year round (also leading some fringe anthropologists to suggest that the ancient Coastal ODer's made contact with a Bloxafrican tribe at some point). Slenders have a unique facial structure called Stichface due to the resemblance to stiches in one's mouth from the exterior perspective. Stitchface causes a permanent lisp and a near constant 'smile' as the unique skull structure triggers facial muscles to tense. The masseter of a Slender has a six-degree tilt compared to other Robloxian ethnic groups. The Stitchface has also been attributed to a larger tongue and eyes with a high positive canthal tilt, caused by a narrower eye sockets and higher cheekbones. The hair of a slender grows up to 3 times faster than that of other Robloxian ethnicities, and the hair texture of a slender is more coarse, with each strand being , on average, 4x thicker than the average strand density of other ethnic groups. Interestingly enough, this even stands out from neighbouring ethnic groups like the Glacial Penguinians to the south of Slendernawa.

A Slender's most noticeable attribute is their large height, with an average height of 7 studs compared to a Robloxian's 5 and a half. This is cause by a lengthened spine, which is the result of a highly amphibious lifestyle and the movement of Slenders across the flat coastal areas of East Baoji.

Slenders are majority male whom are very tall and thin - hence the nickname "Slender". Copy and Pastes on the other hand are the female counterpart of Slenders. They are the usual size of a Robloxian, although often a little shorter, 1.12 meters (4 studs) tall and 1.12 meters (4 studs) wide.

Behavioural Attributes

Typical

The Typical slender contains all of the traits mentioned above, usually of purely Slender background. These account for 62% of all slenders, and are located mostly in the People's Republic of Slendernawa.

The Obby Test performed on different ethnic groups in the 1900s by Professor Nimitz of Bloxichusetts Institute of Technology shows that the average typical slender has an IQ of 117, slightly below average compared to Bacon Hairs and slightly higher than Guests.

Many Robloxians have pre-established beliefs about Slenders due to centuries of discrimination on a systemic level around the globe. This includes but is not limited to:

• Aggressive behaviour
  • MAOA gene activity in Slenders is no higher or lesser than the activity of other races - in other words, there is no evidence to suggest that Slenders have heightened aggression. No tests have been done on CNPs. According to the National Intelligence Service, Slenders make up 32% of all arrests for violent crimes.
• Anti-social behaviour
  • The anti social behaviour in question cannot be measured, as it is a subjective thing that varies from the individual.
• Lack of interracial cohesion
  • This is common in all ethnic groups that migrate to Robloxia, especially ones that migrated recently. Most slenders in Robloxia only arrived after WW2 as refugees, so self-contained ghettos of sorts were common, even today, but this is not a trait unique to Slenders or CNPs.
• Toxicity
  • This so-called 'trait', according to a study, has been linked not to an innate toxic gene, but instead to traits that cause Slenders to become aggravated easier than other groups. Alongside anti-slender racism, this could be an explanation for the commonly attributed stigma.
• Manipulative behaviour
  • Slenders have the lowest arrest and incarceration rate for domestic violence or child abuse. Varies from individuals.
• Inherently malicious behaviour
  • A pseudoscientifc claim pushed by the Ru Rux Ran in the early 20th century. No evidence found.
• Intra-racial telepathy
  • This has been proven to be false by countless studies including a groundbreaking one at Robloxia University in 1956.
• Lack of intelligence
  • There are no links between ethnic identity and IQ. This applies for all ethnicities; IQ is an individual variable.
• Large accumulations of wealth or power
  • Slender wealth inequality is the greatest in the entirety of the Robloxian country. 10% of Slenders are in the high upper class wealth bracket, however the remaining 90% ALL fall under the lower class or poverty wealth bracket. Studies to prove the stated claim have been debunked, and are usually viewed akin to anti-slender racism.
• Crime
  • 34% of arrests globally are Slenders. However, 79% of these arrests are undone or the defendant is either acquitted or found innocent. This statistic argues less in favour of an innate criminal trait, and instead shows that Slenders are overpoliced all across the globe, and that socioeconomic factors cause Slender immigrants, especially younger generations, to enter lives of crime to make money and survive in cities and environments which are often neglected or damaged by government or terrorist action.
  • Of all terrorist organisations on Roblox, 0 have any connection to a powerful Slender and there are 0 military or terrorist organisations which fight in favour of Slender rights or Slender supremacy.
• Lack of hygiene
  • A racist belief which states that the environment of Baoji results in less hygiene-prone peoples. Debunked by studies.
• Sexual misconduct
  • Of all the major 18 ethnic groups in Robloxia, Slenders ranked 12th below Bacon Hairs and above Guests - far away from either the lowest spot (Noobs) or the highest spot (tied between Degen Furries and ODers). The data provided can easily be skewed and misinterpreted, and overall Robloxia has a far lower sexual violence rate than most other developed nations in Roblox.
• Hostility to other ethnic groups
  • While some organisations have formed to enhance Slender collective security, these are minor organisations that mainly seek to protect and fight for Slender rights instead of infringing on the rights of others. It could be argued that these organisations exist as a response to the systemic anti-R15 racism that was and still is (to a lesser extent today) rampant within developed nations.
