Going forward we should just avoid rape in this thread regardless of it a post is iosm or not. it's not about you personally as a poster it's just going to inevitably fuel derails and arguments in a chil thread for laughing at daft racists and old people who are mad for beans.  to be clear no more rape posts of ANY description

I shouldn't, but I get uncomfortable saying 'black' when I'm speaking Spanish. There's a certain conjugation of 'can' in German that sounds like a rude word for lady bits depending on your accent. Getting berated for trying to say it in an English safe way got me a sound berating from my teacher when I was a wee lad

Freaquency posted:There are plenty of words that are used generally that are actually rooted in some less than ideal origins. It really does just come down to whether or not the group in question is large enough or visible enough to influence the public perception on the matter. For example, I think it was this thread where we talked about the origin of "gyp" as a slur, but a lot of people who would give you hell for saying someone "jewed you out" of something wouldn't bat an eye at saying "gypped you out" instead. You can try to inform someone why using the term is an issue but a lot of the time they're just going to tell you to gently caress off. Yeah, that one was a shock since I always thought it was spelled 'gip' for some reason.

Yeah and, you know, a pretty famous philosopher whose name sounds exactly like the English word oval office.

I am pretty sure most American's are taught that "gypsy" means "carnie" and think "Gypping you" means being scammed by a carnival worker, rather than a roma person, who they have never met, and most don't even know exist.

Fair, but I don't know that I've discussed him in English even I had always figured on it being pronounced as 'kannt' Youtube pronounces it like I do, and youtube is never wrong https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWNMtcVxa10 EvenWorseOpinions has a new favorite as of 01:27 on Aug 7, 2017 |

Any time I've heard him referenced in English it's pronounced just like "can't" (as an American would say it). I never knew otherwise relevant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9SqQNgDrgg

When I was a kid I thought negro was the acceptable term because I had seen educational clips about Negro League Baseball. Thankfully I only said it once in front of my parents before they told me not to say it.

I have never heard carnies called anything but carnies, and have only heard "gypsy" in reference to the various travelling peoples. (Particularly the European ones.) Granted, we mostly believe that those people exist in the same way that Native Americans do (they existed Long Ago and all went extinct like knights and buccaneers and racism).

My grandparents were missionaries in South Africa, so naturally they would never teach young Rolo to refer to them as the colords or negros because god doesn't want me holding myself in higher regards simply because I'm white. In hindsight I'm pretty sure they were there to support apartheid.

Not sure, but teaching me to say it that way in the US wasn't cool (neither of them are South African by origin.) They also believed every single "this is killing kids" urban legend, and we got lectures all the time about the internet and my favorite: "touching the laser."

I've heard Germans use 'Ami', but it's pretty much just 'Yank' It's kind of hard to make a blanket slur for Americans because every time someone tries we just coopt it We also don't really understand how anyone could dislike us EvenWorseOpinions has a new favorite as of 05:06 on Aug 7, 2017 |

The word Bae is close to sounding like the word for poop in Danish. It's spelt "bæ" and apparently it is hip and cool now for non Norwegians/Danes to use æ as an abbreviation of ae. it looks incredibly lame to me and makes me weirdly aware that æø&å are weird moon letters to the rest of the world.

I'm pretty sure in America it's a thing for white folks who want to say they're a hippy but want to sound like a snow flake to say they have Gypsy Souls. And they're almost always the type of people who flip out if you say anything else that could be considered racist or sexist.
