Hexenherz 12/31/20 5:39:47 PM #5:	Easier to be bigoted against people and call them what you want even if it's wrong. It's a tricky issue even this day. Some Native Americans actually prefer the term Indian and some Native Americans loathe the term Native American and some hate all the terms and want to just be called by their tribe's identity. --- FFXIV: Lucius Hexenseele (Brynhildr) \| RS3: UltimaSuende . 99 WC/Fish/Cook/Fletch/Div/Mining/Smithing/Thieving/Crafting/RC https://letterboxd.com/BMovieBro/ <cite>Hexenherz posted [p:948964980] in Why are so...

I've always wondered whether Indian was racist or not, or native American was (like calling EVERY black person African American automatically) or their tribe. Fuck. I never know what to call people now. --- Latest Game Completed 100% Resident Evil VII <cite>AzurexNightmare posted [p:948965065] in Why are so...

I never know what to call people now. It's hard lol. Just like global terms in general. It's dumb and outdated to say "first and third world countries", then developing and developed nations became questionable and now we have Low Income and Middle Income Countries. And "Global North and Global South" seem to be rising in popularity lately even those are also decades old terms.

Theres a Louis C.K. joke about this exact thing. The video is about four and a half minutes but what Im talking about is at the very beginning. https://youtu.be/YWZkwuILn_s --- You look EXTREMELY immature when you announce that you're about to ignore someone. No one cares, including the person about to be ignored. Just FYI. <cite>ChaoticKnuckles posted [p:948965390] in Why are so...
