As an Australian, I would just like to point out that many locality place names are derived from local indigenous languages ( estimates are there were approx 600 tribal/regional spoken). The same sound( and word) can and does have different meanings depending on both culture and language.

[@vilena5308]

As an European, I would add that the word came to English from Spanish and Portuguese, which came there from Latin. So it is not uncommon to find it in other European languages as well; it could be a part of someone's name or in a name of a wine, for example. It would simply mean 'black', without US-flavored connotations. Edit: No idea about Australia, but I'm sure for what I say about my part of Europe.

One time I (white) visited an Australian Aboriginal museum crafted and curated by some lovely Aboriginal women. I was a child at the time and my parents let me wander around with my younger sister to look at all the cool artifacts and stuff. When we met the curators (again, super nice and seemingly excited to teach 2 little kids some facts) and while learning more about Aboriginal traditions and inventions, my poor, ignorant, pale-as-milk baby sister said this: "Wow! I didn't know you people were so smart!" Now, obviously she didn't mean the implications that came with that because she was a tiny child (too young to even have memories of this event), but oooh... those ladies... Their faces squashed and pulled back like they had just been fed a lemon farted on by a wet dog. I wish I had also been young enough to not process this event, but alas, I remember it so clearly. And yet I was simultaneously young enough to lack the words to explain "She didn't mean to use those words in that order! She doesn't even know racism is a concept yet! She actually meant to say that this is all really cool and we didn't know these things about Aboriginal history before!" Instead I just said something like "she didn't mean that!" apologised and ran, shoving my clueless sister along in front of me. I'm halfway surprised those ladies didn't try to find our parents and give them a talking to. God, it haunts me to this day...

To understand the term “tar baby”, you have to know about the Uncle Rhemus stories involving Brer Rabbit. They were wildly racist stories that were written for kids a very long time ago. Disney even adapted them into a now erased movie called “Song of the South”.

[@cijmo]

The story is simple. The fox was trying to catch the rabbit for his supper. He built a doll out of tar and waited. The rabbit hopped by and said "Good morning". The doll didn't answer so he went back and said "I said good morning, if you're going to be rude I'll bop you in the nose." when he did his paw got stuck. He braced his other paw to help remove his first paw and that got stuck. He tried using his foot for leverage and that got stuck. The fox came out and grabbed the rabbit. He said "Should I roast you?" the rabbit said "Roast me over chestnuts, just please don't throw me in the briar patch." The fox said "Maybe I should boil you." the rabbit said "Boil me with onion and garlic, just don't throw me in the briar patch...please don't throw me in the briar patch." The fox called his bluff and threw him in the briar patch. The rabbit laughed. "Thank you! I was born and raised in a briar patch!" and ran away.

[@chatboulon743]

13:39 Explanation: it is about a doll made of tar and turpentine used by the villainous Fox character to entrap the Rabbit character. The doll is dressed in the stereotypical dress of a black slave. So the rabbit beating up the doll looks like a slave owner beating up a slave. That's why it's looked upon as a slur.

[@carniethedat7071]

And even without the connection to the Br'er Rabbit stories, it's just creepy. Tar is pretty much pitch-black, and comedians around that time who were doing blackface as comedy routines painted themselves in similar shades and acted like idiots, mostly because so many of them were openly racist pricks who wanted to laugh at what was--*BACK THEN*--widely tolerated harmful stereotypes about minorities. The animation industry straight up followed suit, making people with darker skin look like black blobs with big teeth whenever they appeared in order to appeal to the same market and values. It's just a mess all around, so though the origin of this specific term may have been in one single story that aged poorly to say the least--both in adaptations and the original form--the concept it played into was a huge blight across countless decades of US history and culture.

[@girl1213]

@@carniethedat7071 Very much so. But I was just simplifying it to answer Click's question on why or if "Tar Baby" is a slur. I don't pretend to understand how racism is outside of my home country of the United States, but I do know "Tar Baby" is uniquely part of American folk tales.

"2S" is short for Two Spirit which according to Wikipedia is "a modern, pan-Indian, umbrella term used by some Indigenous North Americans to describe Native people in their communities who fulfill a traditional third-gender (or other gender-variant) ceremonial and social role in their cultures." There are probably many variations as there are many different Native cultures.

Some are just stupid, but sometimes people are just forcing ridiculous meanings into harmless stuff by completely ignoring the original meaning of the word and horribly mispronouncing it. Like the truck with the JEWA-GAS print. It’s „Je“ for Jenniskens, the name of the founder, and „Wa“ for Wanssum, the town were the company was founded.

[@JustAnotherBuckyLover]

And yet, considering how many people I still see using slurs like "sp*stic", "g*psy" (or variants of it, like "g*pped" etc), - even in company names. One of the biggest modifiers of Funko Pops uses one of these, and it's FAR from the only one. Another said "Sp*stic in the sense of having many ideas instead of one focus" which... if anything makes it worse. You got rid of the original ableist concept and replaced it with another one. The fact that "sp*stic" is still used about people being clumsy, awkward, or drunk just blows my mind. And the worst part is that even when you TELL them, they dig their heels in even further. It's just so wild to me that people don't see the issue with this, but then ableism is so widespread and fundamental, it shouldn't surprise me, I guess.

[@infiniteplanes5775]

Care to define those words?

[@JustAnotherBuckyLover]

@@infiniteplanes5775 Which ones? As you didn't specify who you were commented to, I'll assume you meant me. "Sp*stic" was a term originally used to describe a person with cerebral palsy, which often causes muscle spasticity - hence the name. The main charity in the UK was called The Sp*astics Society* right up to when it was changed to Scope because of the widespread use of the word and its variants as an ableist insult. You know when President Cheeto mocked the disabled reporter physically? Yeah, people doing that, going "duhhhhhh", etc. All based on that. In the UK it was perpetuated when a kid called Joey with cerebral palsy was on a major kids' show called Blue Peter, and so "Joey" became a synonym used similarly, as an insult - all taking the piss out of how he moved, sounded, etc. It's the same way that Down Syndrome used to be called Mongolism, and people still use words related to that as ableist insults (usually M*ng). Or when they throw around "autistic" even today as an insult. As for "g*psy", that is regarded as a slur by the Roma community, especially in Europe. Some communities will still use the term, as it is their right to reclaim it, but it's still not okay for anyone outside of those communities to use it, any more than it's okay for white people to use the N-word. As for the phrase "g*pped" - it's used in the context of being scammed or overcharged for rubbish, or having a shoddy job done, and similarly "g*ppy stomach", as in "stomach upset", based on the idea that anything related to Roma people is bad, dodgy, or a scam. This isn't new information, by the way. You could have googled this yourself and gotten the answer in thirty seconds.

It's called two-spirit because they have both the masculine spirit and the feminine one. If I have any info wrong, please correct me as I am not myself indigenous

[@John_Weiss]

No, you've got it. The only thing missing is that each indigenous nation had its own form of 3rd Gender, and while there was overlap, they also differed. Firstly, they were almost always for amab people who weren't cis-males. Second, the 3rd Gender could mix sexuality and gender. In other nations, not so much. Look for the book, "The Spirit and the Flesh," from the 1990s if you can find it. It goes into much greater detail with all of this.

@@eli_h309 _TODAY_ it's evenly distributed. But remember: "2 Spirit" is *_a MODERN identity._* Pre-Columbus, each nation had their own 3rd Gender, with its own definition that _did _*_not_*_ fit 100% with modern terminology!_ The documented evidence presented in, "The Spirit and the Flesh," contained next to no 4-gender systems. All of the _original_ nation-specific 3rd Genders appear to have been for AMAB/male-bodied people. For example, while I'm sure your can find 2-Spirit Lakota who are AFAB, you're _not_ going to find AFAB Winkte, because a Winkte appears to have been always AMAB under its original definition. Now, _maybe_ there was a Lakota 4th Gender for AFAB individuals, but it wasn't recorded because the missionaries were obsessed with "sodomites-inna-dress" and, then as now, erase lesbians and AFAB non-cis people. That is something posited by, "The Spirit and the Flesh": the missionaries and colonizers were too obsessed with buttsm3x to pay any attention to AFAB-based 3rd/4th-Genders. I cannot recommend, "The Spirit and the Flesh," highly enough for an analysis that tries to get at the pre-Columbian additional Genders of the indigenous American peoples, without using modern terms and looking at things in a nation-specific way.

Basically when people just assume everyone is from USA, or that you don't have to specify it's USA, or only USA counts for records or data. One example is "4th of July is the day with the least births after 29th of February", which isn't true, unless you only mean specifically USA. But US-defaultism is quite prominent on the internet, and even by KZbinrs, both US and non-US KZbinrs. So these bots are trained on US-default data. After using ChatGPT for a while, it does have some US-defaultism. It seems to be fairly fine in many situations, but it will only use US-spelling, US date and time formats, and so on. It assumes some events were global that only took place in USA, and so on.

Also, the few of us who've spent time in and actually learned about other countries know that other countries don't think the same as we Americans do. But if we try to tell 'Muricans this, we get called "librul woke commie socialist elites" and attacked. It's like a religious dogma to them that the world is America, and any evidence to the contrary is treated as a heresy.

You'd think Angelica would have been the single parent. She had an awfully entitled personality that, with the way her parents spoiled her, would have likely landed her as a Karen, with kids who say "this is why dad left you" during her public tantrums. The version they have in the deviant art is possible, that she rebelled against her parents after realizing how neglectful they were as parents, but its not how most spoiled bullies turn out.

“You can't write white without HIT and black without BACK”

His voice is… something else. He could be a really good radio host or news anchor, he just has that voice.

11:29 It’s not saying Nazi, they’re singing the name Anansi, an African trickster god who’s legends revolve around him being exceptionally clever and who is a spider, like the puppet the kid is holding! Shame the singers didn’t annunciate.

So he's the african Loki? Sounds cool! Or maybe Loki is the nordic Anansi..
