The smart ones don’t need wikipedia to know that authority should be distrusted.
You just need one bad teacher or school admin and you should be able to figure out why you should be skeptical of all authorities, including your parents. (They could poison your food or even stab you in your sleep… so, stay alert kids, stay on guard at night 👀)
(Okay that last part I’m just half-kidding… but your parents could technically do it and you have no defense against that… 👀)

- Comment on You can bluntly comment on someone being fat or short in China and it's chill, but people get offended the moment you imply they're old... 1 day ago:
Idk. But I remember my mom calling a 肥仔 in a light-hearted tone and I sort of felt the endearment… like my first instinct was oh mom’s teasing me again, like I didn’t feel offended at all, just annoyed that it become my nickname. If I had to make a comparison: I guess it’s sort of like calling a fat cat a “Chonker”
I wasn’t even that fat by American standards lol, literally at the time, in school there were kids bigger than me in the same grade.

Different terms
For example: Its impolite to calm someone 阿姨 (Auntie), and you’re supposed to say 靚姐 (idk how to translate this, it’s [beautiful/pretty] + [character for “older sister”]).
On the other hand, 老師 (Teacher), 老細 (Boss), or 師傅 (to address someone that has learned a trade) are considered polite (at least that’s what I hear my mom use). Similarly 老爺 is used by mom to address my paternal grandfather. These all have the 老 (old) character in it but its fine??? I guess 🤷♂️

- Comment on It would be so interesting if humans didn't have a gender assigned at birth and could choose who they want to be. 1 day ago:
Yea that’s what I meant: If in a hypothetical alt-world, Humans were evolved so that biological sex is neutral for everyone.
But since “Gender” and “Sex” both translates to “性別” in Chinese, so when I first learned those English words, my brain kinda just mixed up both terms and encoded into my lexicon to mean the same thing.

lmfao what
so you’re just assuming without even seeing it?
And you sound like you’re blaming car owners for living in a society that requires cars?
“From what I see in the US”… “Likely votes against their own interests (cut school funding and health care programs because “those are for brown kids not mine!!”)”… Do you live in some white suburb? Have you even been outside of your white suburb?
