Coming soon to Taiwan? Rise of xenophobia towards Westerners

I assume you are unaware of usage of American slang- it can be confusing. The use of the word ‘nigger’ is offensive; the black use of the term ‘nigga’ -different pronunciation- well, opinions differ.
It’s like trying to explain to a class why the use of ‘Chinaman’ is offensive in North America, when all it means in translation is the standard term “Zhonguoren”.
If you are in doubt, you should consult with a native English speaker.
