My partner is Korean, and I asked her if she thought this was racist. She said “it is (technically), but who is getting offended by that?”

I never used the term in the first place, but if I did, I wouldn’t stop saying it because I know about its past.

I’m fully convinced that anyone who is sincerely offended by that term is looking for something to be offended by.

I don’t waste my time thinking about how “smooth brain” is offensive to people who literally have a smooth brain.

I don’t waste my time dictating to the English; their colloquial term for a “cigarette” is inappropriate nowadays.

And I don’t waste my time replying to comments on Lemmy regarding semantics.

Oh, wait…
