it'd be nice if the ptl stopped calling the japanese speakers chinese
i get that the cultural and linguistic situation is different and all that but it would still be nice
@yatchi i speak neither mandarin/cantonese nor japanese and even I can tell the fucking difference
@yatchi wait WHAT
@marrus_sh "chino" is used a lot in spanish to refer to all east asians
@yatchi that seems… wrong though…
@marrus_sh yeah, but seems pretty ingrained too. i saw hostility and indifference in response to suggestions to cut it out
@yatchi but like… that's like calling Portuguese people Spanish… like…
@marrus_sh i hear it's pretty accepted by asian people in latin america. which makes it harder to get people to stop doing it
