It's just scientific fact that they love being slaves to corporations unlike us, the proudly independent and individualistic Westerners

When someone uses $ethnicity without the word person or equivalent following it up, you can just feel the racism oozing from their very soul.

I don't know there are just some that sound weird and stilted like that: a spanish, for example.
I think people would more commonly say "a spaniard." I'm happy Spanish people are white because otherwise it would sound super racist
Agreed. Some countries have a word specifically for a person from their country. But if you're just using the adjective, it's weird.
It's not about the adjective, it's about the suffix - adjectives ending in -n are considered normal (an american, a german, a paraguayan), but adjectives ending in -ese are considered to sound weird and need a "person" adding afterwards (a chinese, a congolese, a portuguese).
For once I'm pretty sure this isn't a racism thing, just an "the english language is a fucking mess made up of more exceptions than rules" thing.

There we go, you see it in "a Dutch" and "an Irish" too, because they're singular and plural, and don't see it in stuff like "a Pole" or "a Scot" because they have a different plural form.
Guess I was wrong, for once it is an actual rule.
