  • Wasn’t a racist comment. Words that sound different in different languages can be some of the fun of learning languages and all cultures do this. When I lived in Germany, there is the classic example of “gift” sounding like poison. In Japan good luck introducing yourself if your name is Gary - It sounds like diarrhea.

    Since you are passing judgment, id say it would really help if you didn’t see everything through a racist lens. It implies a degree of projection. Its ok to take some innocent pleasure out of things like language - it works in all directions and does not involve othering unless it’s done with some malicious intent.
