28363, American arrogance rears its ugly head... Posted by Pinko_Panther, Thu Mar-31-05 10:06 AM
You're full of shit, there is a huge difference between inabiltiy to pronounce something and having all the ability in the world to say something correctly yet making a million excuses to protect the way YOU want to say it. Japanese people speak a language other than ENGLISH. While many argue that southerners and black americans do not speak english, I still think they all do and they are perfectly capable of the proper english pronounciation of peoples' ethnicities. Your insistance is no different than if I insisted to call all black people blackies and argue that this is just the way I say it.
>and being that they lack the "l" sound in their language, and >that all syllables must end in a vowel, they don't say i'm >black, they say i'm "Ba-ra-ka." am i supposed to get indignant >and be like, "I'm Black! How dare you call me something I'm >not!" and then i see a tube of that toothpaste with the >pickaninny on it, and i jump to the conclusion that they are >calling me "Ba-ra-ka" because they think i'm a pickaninny. > >do you see how fucking absurd that is?
