Cojawfee posted:The game is just called "telephone" my dude. Is this a regional thing, or a modern sensibilities thing? We always called this chinese telephone back in middle school, but to be fair we also played "smear the queer," so it isn't like things were all totally cool back then.

If you know of any activity or action that has a name with some sort of nationality or ethnicity in front of it, it's definitely racist. You should stop calling it that and find out a non racist name, or just don't say it anymore.

Everything depends on context. Terms that were non-racist can become racist over time if used in a racist context.

"Sit indian-style" is a pretty benign way to tell a group of kids to sit cross-legged, but I get your point.

Sit crossed legged is a pretty benign way to tell a group of kids to sit cross-legged. Sounds like folks around there would also greet indigenous people with a 'How, Chief'. Even if there's no ill intent, just sounds like awkward. For the record, I've never heard the game refereed to as Chinese Telephone too. Just telephone.

That doesn't mean they aren't joining in the outrage though.

I still hope they have a Citadel episode with a Rick and Morty in straw boaters and canes, and they go "I'm Razzle Rick!" "I'm Dazzle Morty!" "And we're Razzle Dazzle Rick and Morty!" And then they tapdance.

You can't be racist against white people, because something something systems of oppression makes it okay something something technical definition of the word and they don't have feelings anyway. Anyway, we called it Telephone where I come from, one of the largest cities in the US, in the early 80's.

That's the funny thing about stuff like that; Nobody realizes anyone calls it something else until an argument erupts over it. As a child, I once got into a heated argument when another kid insisted that the game I knew as "rock, paper, scissors" was actually called "scissors, paper, rock." It didn't end until another kid sugggested that it was called "ro sham bo," and both of us agreed that he was an idiot. Some googling suggests that Chinese Telephone is not an unheard of name for the game, but not a very common one, either. It doesn't even make wikipedia's list of variant names. Apparently my middle school teachers combined the American name of "Telephone" with the European name of "Chinese Whispers." It was the name multiple independent teachers used, though, and what we all called it, so I didn't realize it was called other things elsewhere. We also universally played it wrong, it turns out, since the goal of the game seems to be to reach the end with the message unchanged; we were always instructed to intentionally change the message with each passing on.
