because this is Long Duck Dong level stuff. not clever at all. the trivializing of foreign languages in this way as a tool of racist oppression is a recognized phenomenon in the field of linguistics
Nobody is claiming this is clever - jokes generally aren't clever. This is childish which nobody can deny - but oppressive? Nah - this is just stupid word giggles and nothing beyond that. Not everything has to be erudite and a few decades after you leave earnest university you might understand..
Colloquially, the Welsh call a microwave a 'popty ping'. Popty is welsh for oven 'ping' because that's the sound a microwave makes. Its funny, the Welsh consider it funny - but you aren't going to find it funny 'cos its, what, racist? Get a sense of humour & don't throw that insult around so freely.
100% judgemental. 100% humourless. 100% marginalising one person in this thread out of very many who found this a giggle. I wouldn't say 'having fun' at the expense of the WHOLE OF THE CHINESE SPEAKING POPULATION. Do you see how silly this hill is to die upon? Hugs, you need 'em. x
Nobody is having fun at a marginalized group here - the humour is from the translated words on the bookshop - not the Chinese symbols that is the actual foreign language.
Hard to marginalize a people outnumbering Europe and US combined.
Don't be a dusty old humourless cunt before your time.
I have every right to be stupid you overly earnest prick - take a moment and see the actual evil in the world. Nobody in China would speak like that - it's the translation into our language that the joke stems from. NOT the Chinese language.
Nobody mocked anybody's looks here you stupid cunt.
Considering how much smaller this site is, I think I’ve seen more racism in this site from liberals than I saw on Twitter from the MAGAs. And you can’t call them out on it, they’ll do some major mental gymnastics to justify it.
I had been away from the US for some years (and out of the habit of speaking English) and when I returned I saw a sign with some unusual kerning. I briefly thought Floor King was a new euphemism.

Exactly how is the OP racist btw? Educate a mindless moron if you can deign to share your almighty wisdom on stuff and shit?
You're obviously ok with directly insulting people.
Still everything sucks and everyone's evil I suppose.
