  • eat so much rice they even run their cars on it

    So what exactly? It’s just a stereotype. A stereotypical Russian (that’s where I’m from) would be a gopnik babooshka in abibas riding a bear while playing a balalayka and drinking vodka… And guess what? We find it funny. Well, maybe except babooshkas: many find it weird you stress the “oo” syllable instead of the 1st ‘a’. It’d be the same with black guys and rap music or Texans and guns.

    would you defend the n-word

    If it originated as a stereotype, stopped being used offensively several decades ago, and was then repurposed into being a praise of sorts.

    Bold of you to assume I have smth against groups of ppl based on their race because I’m not into your* guilt complex about your* ancestors inventing X phrases and abusing Y groups of ppl.

    * not necessarily yours in particular, just an assumption you’re from the US


  • I’m telling you the post explicitly asked about opinions, and the “wrong” ones that used the “r-word” happened to be blocked, and there is a comment from another mod that explicitly tells they’ll remove stuff using that. Although it’s a reasonably short comment that’s easily blocked from view with a medium-sized justice boner, so it’s understandable you’ve missed it.

    Although, you’re somewhat right, the meaning of a slur was a bit off in my vocabulary. I’d still argue it isn’t one in context ('cause it neither refers to a person nor is it derogatory in its current form)… However, I’d also like to play along and give you folks another (and, arguably, a more worthy) which hunt target – chinesium. You know, currently a derogatory, currently refers to a particular nation, so…
