The title was passed to his only surviving son, Louis, who had three children of his own. Due to Carolingian succession laws, the Empire was split into three upon Louis' death, giving a piece of the empire to each son. These were West, Middle, and East Francia, which would become the kingdoms of France, Italy, and Germany respectively after some time.

He spoke some Italian, but was a terrible teacher of it so I decided to take it as an elective in high school. The teacher for the class wanted us to pick Italian names from the list to 'immerse ourselves.' My real name is Julia, which is Italian but spelled with a Gi instead of a J (the written language doesn't use Js). Giulia wasn't on the list for some reason. When he asked me what I picked, I told him I was going to use Giulia. He told me I couldn't because it wasn't on the list and therefore not a good Italian name. I'm sitting there thinking "It was my great-grandmother's name, and she immigrated from Italy..." And no, he wouldn't let me use it just because it was my real name. There was a Joseph who was allowed to use Giuseppe and a Michael allowed to use Michele.

It’s little things like treating a kid differently because they look different or they have an accent or whatever that makes people think that it’s okay to do more harmful stuff. It normalizes treating someone like they’re an outsider. Teaches the kids in that room that that’s how we treat people who are different than us, like they’re an outsider visiting “our” spaces. I dunno, maybe I’m reading a little too much into this. But it reads to me like the kind of racism that we don’t usual make an outcry about because nobody’s being outwardly mean to someone. Like how Asian-Americans got stuck with the “model minority” stereotype that hurts so many people.

I can understand that some sounds are difficult to pronounce if you're not used to them. And the difference in vowel sounds even when the written symbol is the same is jarring. And even with names from the same culture/language there may be difficulty (most people get my surname wrong the first time they read it aloud because it's not very clear where to put the accent). So all of this is understandable. What I refuse to condone is the fact that all the phrases you cited put the fault on the name and thus on the name bearer. Let alone calling them another name which is straight up dehumanising. It shouldn't be "It's a difficult name" but "I may have some difficulty saying it right". Not "it will take some time" but "I may need some time". And so on and so forth. It's not your fault if you can't pronounce my name but it definitely is not my fault - especially since you had the list in advance and coul have checked.

3) why is he assuming you have a specific food in mind? - whenever I come home there is a wonderful food smell but somehow I have never learn in 28 years how to distinguish what food it is until I actually see it (sometimes not even after I tasted it - my brain concentrates on the good and doesn't really care about good what). that said I can understand why he told you that - in a poem and generally in the spoken language the more specific an object is the more precise the image it brings. and it only resonates with the listener when they can build an image. so if I say food you don't have any image because the concept is too generic, whereas if I say bread you will have a precise image which will probably be different from mine but will let you connect to what I am saying.

@TheYakusoku3 жыл бұрын
This is definitely way exaggerated for effect, but a lot of these things are commonly said, some by teachers, some by classmates, some by strangers, as many non-white Americans are growing up. Having one person embody all of those stereotypes at once is convenient and faster than incorporating dozens of people on stage to act out all the parts.There's also a mix of different personalities being combined here: the ignorant person who uses offensive terms unintentionally, the overly-sensitive person who is offended on our behalf, and the older "this is just how its always been done, growing up." It may not always be a teacher, but the language is the same, whether it comes from a professor or just someone going to school with you. - Particularly if you're a first generation immigrant, you might be coming to school with a lunch packed by a parent that's not a "normal" lunch like the standard sandwich + apple/banana, which can attract attention. In the skit, "Lasagna" is code for a lot of food items that might be fermented or have a strong smell otherwise - stuff like kimchi, curry, etc. Sometimes it's met with curiosity, but often, it's a "what IS that?" So, I can see how some teachers could adopt a policy of "no strong smelling food for lunch" designed to curb these foods. - A lot of kids with unusual names get used to having nicknames, alternative names, or American names that are easier to remember and pronounce. The "Julio" part of the skit points this out. So, Shang Chi might find it easier for people to call him "Sean" rather than argue about how how it should be pronounced. - The "where are FROM from" is really similar to "Where are you REALLY from", which every Asian American has heard a million times over. It's more polite than "What are you?", but it stems from the same place that there are some people who either place a lot of importance on where you came from or your ethnicity, rather than focus on how you choose to present yourself. If I was born in California, I probably identify with my city and state more than where my grandparents were born. Moreover, it's really obvious how it's really focused on people with accents and people who visibly look different, with an implicit assumption that non-white people aren't REAL Americans, if they immigrated here a few generations ago. It's extremely rare for someone to ask a guy who is caucasian, "I know you live in Texas NOW, but like, where did you family come from? No, I mean, when they first came to America, which country did they come from?" - And lastly, if you or your family originate from another country that's not well known, it can be EXTREMELY common for people to associate with the next closest country that they can identify. King of the Hill is infamous for the way that the four main characters treat Kahn when they first meet him, not knowing that Laos exist and assuming Asians are only either Chinese or Japanese. But, you can apply this to people living in Southeast Asia or Africa, or South America and some people will find really odd ways to try to fit in another person's ethnicity into their pre-existing boxes, but there tends to be a lot less of that in America when it comes to confusing people from Europe, so France and Germany points out the absurdity of not really making an effort to recognize those as two separate and distinct regions, rather than try to equate some country like Morocco with Egypt, because they HAVE heard of Egypt, but not Morocco.

I grew up being the only black kid in most of my classes; 1st grade to sophomore yr in highschool (switch to a heavily integrated highschool for my last 2 yrs in school). I didn't experience this kind of treatment during those years, but definitely did in during my adult yrs in corporate America 🤦🏾♀️.

Yeah I was about to say, this doesn’t happen in schools but it totally happens in the workplace. HR has everyone freaked out and walking on eggshells.

I’m confused at how often people confuse Asian people’s countries. I can tell who’s Japanese, Koreans, Vietnamese, etc. without much doubt. “They’re practically the same place, they’re right next to each other!” PS I’m white too lol

Yeah, I’ve noticed a lot of things like this, as a white person in high school. Often times the attempts to be “inclusive” end up being oversimplified to the point of coming right back around to being racist again. How about, instead of acting as if each race is somehow distinct, we acknowledge that the only real difference between us is skin pigmentation?
