Good job, me.

:(

Virtual hugs. I pray for the day when nobody has to live in fear like that

I can't differentiate between them, but I also wouldn't judge someone for speaking a different language than English, so I hope I'm okay.

normal people who has no knowledge of asian language won't be able to make the difference. nothing to do with racism. but i get his point

Reminds me of my Spain born gran who wouldn't speak Spanish in public because she didn't want anyone to think she was Puerto Rican...because she was racist.

It's a shame that these racists exist in the first place.

I may be stupid for not telli lng the difference but not racist.

Stupid Racists .

I can't differentiate but I'm not a racist. It's just that I don't speak any Asian language, although I wouldn't mind learning

There are over 6000 languages today, so if you are not exposed to these languages or not a linguist, you will hardly differentiate them. Just like I'm sure OP will not differentiate Lithuanian from Hungarian.

Repeated UK story, who knows if it's true, but it's good: English man berates woman on train in Wales for talking foreign and she points out that she's speaking Welsh.

Yup, they couldn't even tell the difference between mathematic formula and Arabic writing.

Good point.

Racists can't tell when my family is speaking Italian and not Spanish, so I get called Mexican and Latinx slurs. They're definitely not going to know the difference between Thai and mandarin

Some women refuse to add feminine ending to their surnames and use male (family) name in fiction that the "world" will appreciate their advancement in gender equality. Silly when imagine everyone on the world know about minor eu language and name creation system.

Sad but true

"Edna, them ferners is talkin' about us again!"

Cannonball that!

Sad but true.

Yes. Those particular folks have a great deal of trouble with English. They especially have trouble with the word "acceptance". In my previous job I worked in a hospital that was in a huge Asian multicultural community. If you had racism issues this is definitely not the place for you! We, patients and staff, had a lot of fun together when learning words, short sentences, and culture. Great laughs. But also, so sadly, the different approaches to death, care in the immediate time proceeding and after death. Many times we did not understand different things. But we RESPECTED IT AND DID EVERYTHING TO THE LETTER. Acceptance and respect. I dont understand why that is so difficult.

A good friend of mine is Thai and we waited tables together, the number of people who though she was Chinese was unbelievable. They would just assume. People would say the rudest things to her all the time... It was a breakfast and lunch place so it's not like alcohol had any part in it. Even if she was Chinese, it's still so offensive just assume somebody is from a certain country, if you're generally curious it's better to just ask politely then make assumptions.

I could differentiate between most European languages (definitely written, sometimes spoken). I'd struggle with Eastern European languages though.

I would ask them what they are speaking, as politely as possible. I love Asian languages, and the Thai I've heard is beautiful. I would love to learn it!

Exactly

I could have told the difference, but... yeah... *sigh*

Great observation!

This might make more sense if we knew what country they were in.

This needs up voting higher

Briefly living in TN (US) I had to translate deep southern ‘English’ to my very northern girlfriend. I honestly don’t know who I was more disappointed in, and am glad neither are in my life anymore.

Don't you just love it when billionaires complain?

And they get in trouble if they murder somebody.

I'm so sorry

Yes. I thank my lucky stars every day I live in a place where the former is the majority

This!

Agree!

I might hold a gander reveal party then release the geese on my foes...

I always thought that was the whole point of the Addamses: they don't conform to societal norms of what is acceptable but their relationships are ideal, unlike the rest of suburbia. Like being authentic breeds happiness.

Because it's my religious duty to be a bigot, homophobe and sexist according to my holy book, written by bigots, homophobes and sexists ages ago.

Thought it was only me!

Thats actually hilarious 😭😭😭😂😂😂
