The actual point is that âwhiteâ isnât an ethnicity, I mean, define âwhiteâ, as in culture or customs or nationality or geographic origin.
Itâs not a thing.
âGermanâ means someone from a country called âGermanyâ.
White is a colour.
You donât describe your car as âa Green 2012 Accordâ, do you?
Sorry, maybe you do, but itâs wrong.
Unless you know of a country called âThe Republic of Whitenyâ.
As far as ć€ćäșș meaning âwhite foreignerâ, yes, thatâs right, it generally does, as has been discussed and established in this very forum about a hundred times in the past.
I donât believe you.
You got a Chinese (ish) face, they got a different name for you.
I guarantee, in casual references to brother @Andrew0409, brother @finley, brother @Wookiee, or brother @GooseEgg, foks arenât calling them ć€ćäșș.
Thatâs people who know you, bozo .
People who know brother @Dr_Milker donât call him ć€ćäșș either,
Almost nobody calls the whiteys ć€ćäșș to their faces, thatâs not what weâre talking about.
In my defense, that wasnât made clear, kind ofâŠ
I guess so, thereâs a few whiteys on the team and we reference them as wai guo ren, but we never state the obvious when introducing new members to them.
Sorry, the point here I believe is that if you, @Dr_Milker, @finley, and @GooseEgg were sitting drinking in the park, the busybody aunties, not knowing any better, would only be referring to one of you as ć€ćäșș .
Side story, I used to have a really really good friend here, a young fellow from north Georgia. He was of African-American descent. Among many other things, his Mandarin was fuckin perfect, not just school perfect, but walking around perfect, and his Taiwanese was pretty serviceable.
Typically, we would be out enjoying a beverage or three al fresco, and not infrequently some local gumball would approach us and start jawboning on us.
And, inevitably, theyâd ask him where he was from.
And he would always answer, in his most native Mando, âPingtungâ.
And theyâd go, like, âWhaaaaaa???â
And heâd explain that everyone in Pingtung looked like him.
So buddy would wander off, hopefully to spend the rest of his days trying to convince his homies that Pingtung was full of native-born African-looking dudes.
Yes, caught that and agreed, but wait, @Dr_Milker isnât a cow? What are you going to say next, youâre a raccoon?
He wouldnât be the section chief to AIT commercial section would he? Last time I checked, there was one token African American guy on the island that had perfect Chinese AND Taiwanese.
