its an exonym from portuguese jesuits lol
Still waiting for any evidence to the contrary other than your classmate being a weirdo
That doesnt make it imperialist. If we had THEM saying something else due to our influence, that would be imperialist
are you chinese
heaven help us
I donât know man. whatever âmandarinâ translated is in chinese isnât in use, from what iâve been told from mainland chinese people. Maybe it is some sort of revisionist doublethink PRC thing, calling a standardized language a âvernacularâ but I will insist on using putonghua if i have to write on it again even if I might use mandarin around americans
Yes putonghua was the communist name and guoyu the nationalist one. it doesnt matter because we are speaking English. you just dont get it.
your argument calls for us to never say âjapaneseâ âspanishâ
it is absurd, because it is not how language works. not even politically or socially
also I get a kick out of people being all offended by whatever mainland hcinese people say
those cultures arenât insisting on dropping those exonyms though
And if they did, it would be absurd.
because thereâs no problem with the west doing that stuff to the west.
calling it âmandarinâ isnt the west âdoing stuffâ to china. this is just so dumb
huber and a2pas having the equivalent of the âyou canât be racist against white people because racism doesnt mean racism anymoreâ conversation that me and ewiz had

Iâm not here to say whether or not itâs dumb. Iâm just going off of the take of friends and peers that I respect the opinion of
have you been denied a bank loan for being white or being trash
Send them to me so I can explain to them how language and politics works
I mean part of being white trash means having shitty credit so yeah I probably would be denied a bank loan if I was white trash
