“Feminism” start like a slur to people who defend women vote, then they take the slur in their movement designation, egualism and humanism are already movements and study metods where they study why humans are patetics and beautiful at same time
Edit: very ironic to be called woke on a post discussing intersectionality btw.
Let’s be clear. Making a joke at someone’s expense? That is an insult. If that insult is predicated on the fact they don’t know your native language as well as you do, that is an insult targeting their culture (or lack of full integration into your own).
Assuming it from a western-centric perspective that the commenter themselves is from somewhere English is a native language:
Definitionally, objectively, undeniably, it was xenophobia.
If it was from another non-native English speaker… boohoo I called an asshole a xenophobe on the internet. Shut up, losers.
It’s xenophobic to ridicule a non-native speaker and ask them if they had a stroke. You are ridiculing them and making a joke at their expense.
You also have a lot of gall to comment on how other people speak, to be honest. Your mastery of the English language is lacking. Maybe it’s not your first language either?
Goddamn, random internet commenters being accused of xenophobia for joking about being unable to understand a comment. Woke is back, baby! Love to see it.
Bro must be 20 if they think 2017 was the year of alternating caps. It turns out, some sentiment is timeless. 😎 but yes, also, making fun of someone because they aren’t very practiced at their non-native language is xenophobia. are you familiar of the concept of “laughing with vs laughing without”?
But okay, let’s say it’s not xenophobic to target someone specifically for a cultural/language difference. It’s not xenophobia, it’s just being an asshole. And yeah, assholes deserve to be called out and dogged on.
So what’s your point? You just love assholes? Big anal guy?
Hey now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not criticising you, I love the energy.
I don’t think the user you replied to really meant any harm, though, I think they were just joking. A slightly problematic joke, to be sure, but not an uncommon one.
Hard to take your original comment being excited seriously because we are on lemmy and woke is just the norm here lmao. Hence why we are on a popular post about intersectionality!
And yeah also I don’t think they meant any harm. That’s why I just said “ok xenophobe” instead of like, reporting it and moving on. So they can be like “oh yeah. I guess I did say something problematic.”
I can’t dechiper the latter half but it seems like they’re trying to say “feminist” started as a “slur” that was used against men and women who wanted women to be able to vote. Feminists “claimed” the slur so to speak and broadened its meaning to encapsulate more issues?
But again I’m just guessing. English isn’t their first language. Maybe let’s not expect people to have perfect English on fucking Lemmy? lmao
Sure, but you could have maybe tried to interpret it a little bit and ask them what they mean? Instead you opted to make public spectacle of something that a lot of non-native speakers are self-conscious of.
Or you could just have not engaged. But again. You opted to make fun of someone because either you were being thoughtless/careless, or because you’re an asshole. Not a huge deal, but deserves being commented on.

So, when did xenophobia mean not being able to understand misspelled word salads?

That’s right, it is! and apparently so is alternating caps! Welcome back, 2017!

Still, I support you.

I dont expect perfect English but it changes nothing if I cant decipher what they said.
