It's a bit odd in a way that some nations like heat dominion, yet they don't have racial fire res, hence they get encumbered (I believe). On the other hand they usually have lighter armour, so they don't suffer the enc as much. Doesn't help with mages though.
Do Africans have fire resistance IRL?
Kind of an ignorant and prejudicial thing to say.

Not really either- simply insensitive.

There's no fatigue from heat unless it's level 3? I didn't know that.

Renjousting and sum1lost are both whining is just a good comparison to the real world with people that live in a hot climate, it's certainly not prejudicial (heck Africa IS in a hotter climate than europe dammit) not insensitive either.

It could be read as insensitive in the same sense that asking "Do Kurds have poison resistance IRL?" could be.

In the context of this thread I know he didn't mean anything like that, obviously. But it was an unfortunate choice of words given the troubles in Africa.

I took it as a joke and an argument against giving fire resistance to Machaka
and similar nations, in the vein of:

"Everyone knows that Africans do not have a resistance to fire, despite being
used to the heat, and able to farm/hunt/thrive in a hot climate."

I know that many people do not accept arguments based on Real Life, but I do.
I do not claim to know how magic works, but I prefer it when common sense agrees
with matters pertaining to weapons, armour, fatigue, supplies, and everything
that does exist in real life.

Trinidadians are of African descent.

My other half is English/German. My two halves are constantly in conflict.

Why are we even discussing this!!??
