Like damn the dude and most of his family were killed in a mass shooting, did you really need to orientalize him on the way out?

    If my response seems hostile to you, have you asked yourself why an Asian person might respond in a way that seems hostile to "well you and all the other Asians just don't understand words"? Might this be shit that's pulled out regularly by westoids to dismiss and minimize the concerns of Asian people living in the West, regardless of their level of English comprehension.

    I shouldn't need to explain to you that words can be contextually offensive when applied to certain groups of people. If someone published an article calling a grown black man "boy", it proves nothing to show me articles where young men of other races have been called "boy".

        I am not making any statements that “minimize the concerns of Asian people living in the West, regardless of their level of English comprehension” or making any statements about “their level of English comprehension” just bc you and people on twitter don’t do crosswords and read a lot of literature / the new yorker does not mean that that

        Wow.

        Who do I talk to about making this one of the site headings? Because...

        Wow.

            If you go back and read my responses to you, I began with an explanation of my position. Then the next post said "I see where you're coming from but I think it's deeply sus in this context". In both cases you just doubled down on your position that I just don't understand the word because I don't do crosswords or whatever.
