When did loan words become cultural appropriation?
- version_five 4y agoShortly after the end of the cold war, when we no longer had a common enemy to focus on and started fighting each other
- tom_ 4y agoWhen the British do it.
- dhruval 4y agoGood point, I meant it is a loan word. In the era of socially sensitive language, I would like to see the Nazi swastika referred to with the German term, to rehabilitate the term swastika. If you are against socially engineering language to make it more culturally sensitive via things like gender pronouns, removing certain slurs etc. Then ok at least that is a consistent ethical position, and understandable. But if you support the use of more inclusive language, then this would be my request.
