In my country it's like kinda like this. You use the person's name only when condescending.

Th is pretty rare linguistically and I've also read that English uses a ton of ~s sounds so we sound kinda evil and snakey like we're hissing.

The r you use (except some dialects in Britain) is also kinda rare and freaky.

You can imitate English by going rarararararar.

In Australia we're pretty used to mocking our own dialects.

Pretty sure we're talking interracial examples here champ.

Sorry I'm not American so I don't just lump all white (or black) people into one racial group.

Snowy: Oct 6, 2010; A man whose blood
Is very snow-broth;
One who never feels
The wanton stings and
Motions of the sense

A friend of mine is Chinese and moved to the US with his family when he was a kid. When he was around 7 he spent the summer with a relative in the south who was a Pentecostal or something like that. So she takes him to one of those huge faith healing tent sermons (he�s not even Christian, mind you). He�s loving horrified to see all these people he can barely understand going into conniption fits when the preacher comes around to lay hands on them.

Sure enough, the preacher calls him up in front of the crowd and starts grilling him with questions. He�s panicking looking at all these crazy white people staring at him expectantly so he starts screaming into the microphone, doing his best impression of what Americans sounded like to him, while spazzing out like a maniac.

The crowd erupts with joy, dancing around and praising the lord for this scared little Chinese kid making fun of them.

Milo and POTUS: Sep 3, 2017; I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

The chutzpah of this guy over er', you want I should break yer schnoz??

God yiddish fuckin' owns.

Do non-American anglophone countries use these words, because just lol if you don't.

I guess I'm dumb as gently caress because it took me until today to realize that all these words come from yiddish. I thought it was just weird slang poo poo my grandparents and parents used growing up, that's how ingrained the vocabulary was from a young age.

Yeah you're almost definitely yet another extremely online Western European speaking for the whole globe when he can't even tell the difference between the other half of the rest of his continent let alone stuff beyond that.

SPEAKING AS A CITIZEN OF THE WORLD I...

Nice

Mind you this is probably how the whole speaking in tongues thing came about. A creepy holy man scared someone into a panic attack and had to put positive spin on it.

Being as how it comes down to power deferential, yeah I could see a Japanese salaryman being racist toward an eastern european prostitute.
But you really gotta reach and strain to find the examples.

Its not much of a reach or strain to think that Japanese wield all the power and authority of the Japanese state, and this will open up a power differential when they encounter foreigners in Japan.
