Pretending not to understand this is tiresome.
- virtualritz 3y agoIt's more tiresome that US citizens claim the term and do not understand the issue with it. [1] As a European traveling to South America frequently it is very obvious to me why all my friends there take issue with this. As a European this is also not my fight but I do take sides nevertheless. From my post getting three down votes, two of which I must assume stem from this topic at least, I dare only conclude that the sensitivity is mutual. So probably worth understanding and showing some consideration. Beers!
