Didn’t have this conversation on Reddit so here I go:

Seeing this accusation made me think and worried me so I looked into it. Originally I used the typo because it was also a meme that I didn’t consider racist since many people on the world have this kind of problems linguistically so I really thought it was an innocent joke, apparently not. I’ll be more careful about this in the future. Thanks for your insult I guess. (Btw can we change the title here? We can, great.)

Also this is what ChatGPT said about this, putting this here as a reference in case someone who thinks like me checks this post:

If someone makes such a statement with the intention of demeaning or mocking Chinese people based on their language abilities, it can be considered racist, as it perpetuates negative stereotypes and reinforces harmful biases. Stereotyping or generalizing an entire group of people based on their language or accent is unfair and can lead to discrimination.

However, it’s important to note that discussing linguistic differences or challenges faced by certain language speakers is not inherently racist. Linguistic variations exist across different languages and cultures, and it is natural for individuals to have different pronunciation patterns based on their native languages.

The key lies in how such observations are made and communicated. It is crucial to approach the topic with respect, cultural sensitivity, and an understanding that language differences do not imply any superiority or inferiority.
