- programmer_dude 4y agoHe is just stating a fact. If this looks like racism to you then I am afraid it's not him who's racist.
- yorwba 4y agoHe quotes three excerpts from an email exchange in Japanese followed by his "translation" where he leaves out much of the explanation and even the parts where they quote each other so he can demonstrate his claim that in Japanese "you have to say much more than just what is actually necessary." Does that make it a fact? I don't think so, because I disagree that the explanations he cut out were actually unnecessary.
- felipec 4y agoPointing out idiosyncrasies about a language is not racism. I didn't even complained about the verbosity, merely pointed it out. Moreover, if I didn't like the language why do you think I learned it?
