i mean we are speaking their language, and you seemed to be defending them.
What a ridiculous assumption, most of the world can speak English you know. Shame on this America centrism and people who perpetuate it. Shame especially on you since you accused me over your baseless assumption. Shame, shame
chill
I just dislike people assuming shit, especially dislike the America centrism. You can do better
stop talking like one then.
Pretty funny expecting everyone else to behave in a different way or speak some other lantuage to deflect your America centrism. Could just learn that other countries exist too, nah too hard
Do better, friend
so do you.
stop with your chauvinism if you expect people not to take you for a usian pig. shit, that kind of thing might even make you an honorary usian.
It's not often you meet someone who feels so entitled to making false assumptions about people. And who digs in even when it's pointed out that they're wrong.
its not often you meet someone who feels so entitled to wanting others to behave like they want to, but simply won't accept criticism back.
Not going around assuming stuff about people is sorta just basic good manners. It's 2025 my friend. You put youself in some pretty interesting company by demanding to be allowed to assume stuff about people. Smdh.
ok, american.
If someone is going to incorrectly assume I'm an American I'd prefer the term Yank. It sounds better. But iiwii
"usian" is usually more fitting
It seems a little strained
calling themselves american and not being able to call myself american is what strains me. i tought you were against us-centrism...
I'm against that in general and against US defaultism more specifically, which is assuming everyone is American. I just think the particular term is strained. Yank is much better for example
usian is fine. it even sounds similar to what we call them in my country.
I just think it's a bit strained, it sounds clunky
not to me. maybe to english speakers? i don't mind either way. 😉
I'm not a native English speaker, if that's what you mean
so why are you bothered with it if you are not a native speaker, nor usian?
Wouldn't you be bothered if I incorrectly assumer you were a Yank?
wait a second. so you are bothered by being called usian for having usian opinions, but every single other form of us-centrism is ok?
it's like its what you want to be, just not called out on it.
Wouldn't someone making that assumption bother you?
sure but like. it's empty when all you care about is not being called usian.
I haven't had anything happen to me in this thread though. Or wdym
