question, a slur apparently??
just saw someone say the "obvious way to pronounce" the name of the cane of pacci item from minish cap is a racist slur and???? am I ignorant of some slur or is the obvious pronunciation to them something very different than what's obvious to me, or is it maybe like a local thing like how the word spaz just means an energetic child in AmE but is an ableist slur in BrE
question, a slur apparently??
@Felthry okay, I'm british, and "pacci" I would automatically assume is pronounced almost like "Patchy"? It could conceivably be "pah-see" as well if they're "Soft Cs".
The "racist slur" interpretation is, I assume, with the "hard Cs" instead? and... yeah, it's 'short' for Pakistani and is usually used in the UK as a racial epithet for anybody of asian decent.
question, a slur apparently??
@Felthry even if, of course, they aren't actually from Pakistan and are from Sri Lanka or India, or anywhere else in that area of the world. because you know, racism doesn't actually care about anything but skin colour or racial differences. my country is a trashfire hahahaha aghhh
