Trump’s New Attack on ‘Kamabla’ Harris Is Literally Gibberish
Trump’s New Attack on ‘Kamabla’ Harris Is Literally Gibberish
After going after her racial identity, Trump has now taken to deliberately misspelling her name.
You're viewing a single thread.
Old man is running through nicknames so fast and none are sticking.
He's a few names away from calling her the N word or C word.
Or the P word. Or is that racial slur not such a thing in the states as it is in the UK for someone of south Asian descent?
i legit don't know what p word you mean. I think you're right about that not being used in the US
Rhymes with Jackie.
What, like a shortened version of "Pakistani?" I guess maybe that could be a thing in the States, but I've literally never heard it.
I could see how it could piss off an Indian-American, though (just as I could see how being called "Indian" could piss off a Pakistani-American).
In the UK it's culturally seen as almost as bad as the n word.
Afaik it's definitely a slur here in the US, but most people have never met a Pakistani person and thus don't know to be racist against them.
They may have met Pakistani people but aren't going to pay enough attention to know that. They'll just go with some generic Muslim slur (it does not matter if they aren't Muslim).
They’ll just go with some generic Muslim slur (it does not matter if they aren’t Muslim).
"Towel head" is probably the most common slur for Muslims here in the US - and they don't even know that they're referring to Sikhs, not Muslims.
Hoo, I'm glad you don't live around racists. They've moved on from "towel head" and now refer to them as "sand n-"
I am unfortunately around a lot of racists at work (school bus driver). We have a few black drivers so they can't really use the second term you mentioned. They actually use "native" to refer to black people in polite company, a euphemism about as clever as "let's go Brandon".
Its a bit of a linguistic curiosity, because while it’s highly offensive in the UK, here in Boston, it’s a local/colloquial name for “liquor store” (literally, “packie” = “package store” as in “package of booze”). The more noticeable the townie accent, the more likely you’ll hear that term.
I have actually had British friends look at me like I had 2 heads when I asked what kind of beer they wanted at the packie
I had to stop and think to figure out what you meant; not really so much a thing here.
Yeah, that's much more of a UK slur.
. . . Policeman? . . .
P- . . Potatohead?
Y'know what, nevermind. Withdrawn.
aki
Ah.
Aqui o alla?
I don't even know that one and as an American I thought we were caught up on all of the horrible things to say about other people.
