It's a literal red flag, bigger than anything else in the display including any of the union jacks. I mean, maybe just some guy who is just super into memorabilia and isn't actually a Nazi but come on, how would someone not think about how it looks and raise a polite suggestion when he was laying out the flag?

Inform yourself before loving recording. Edit: Actually have a bit more of a rant. I take issue with the term "unconscious" racism, which I don't think is fair. I read that as accidental or unintentional, which are distinct from reckless. She didn't give a poo poo. Sir Sidney Poitier fucked around with this message at 16:48 on May 10, 2023 |

Guavanaut posted:This should be part of mandatory diversity watching for all public roles, as well as teachers. True, but don't be too hard on those making an effort (not the woman in the earlier video who was enjoying herself messing it up). There are sounds in foreign languages which the British ear - especially an older one - cannot hear the difference, and vice versa. EG some foreigners can't hear the difference between say "beach" and "bitch". And stress patterns can make a huge difference - just ask the 'crazy foreigner' (ie me) getting pitying looks waiting hours for a bus in the boiling midday heat to go to the main Ramses train station, wondering where this Zees place all the buses seemed to be going was, but nothing to Ramses. (We say RAMzeez, they say rmZEEs).

When I was watching the clip I initially thought it was a bit unfair of Dr. Mos-Shogbamimu because some people could have names that come from languages with different pronunciation rules than English. But on a second watching Dr. Mos-Shogbamimu does say "sound it out phonetically" which I think is all Ms. Neesom needed. When I was younger I used to laugh at English people trying to say things in Welsh but as I grew older I realised that it's hardly someone fault if they can't instantly say something correctly in a language that doesn't follow their own rules.

It does also have sounds that don't exist in english and which I think probably need formal instruction on how to make them with your mouth, and also has sounds that do exist in english but welsh transcribes them entirely differently. Although I suppose that last one is also true of english generally given that it has a bunch of spellings for the same sound even internally. But that is one of the reasons why english is a bad language. OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 19:18 on May 10, 2023 |

If your name has the "ll" letter in it then you're hosed straight away and, I think, would need some sort of formal instruction. I've always hated the way Americans pronounce Llewellyn, they say "lou-ellen" which is so wrong it physically hurts my ears. Though I suppose as Failed Imagineer said if that's the way you've always pronounced your name than that's your name.
