- jonnycomputer 5y agoOr just that I'm a little more aware? https://www.google.com/search?q=news+kowtow+-definition+-meaning+-etymology+-kowtowclothing+-clothes+-encyclopedia+-clothing https://www.google.com/search?q=news+kowtow+-definition+-mea... That's a google search. I just filter out definitions, references, and the clothing brand. Now look at it. Sure there are examples of the word kowtow used for other things. But its mostly about China. Because in the context of China, the word just suggests itself. But why? What does it add? What does it subtract. No one here wants to wrestle with that. Instead they get defensive.
- OhWellLol 5y agoOh goodie, using linguistic references from Google to justify accusatory paranoia. Let's play that game! https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=Kowtow&geo=US https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=Kowtow&geo=US I-I-I-is North Dakota a bastion of Chinese context!? Your conspiracy theory is not only nakedly annoying, but pointless until you address this very serious North Dakota problem.
