Try replacing it with Germans, and now it sounds like a praise, because the stereotype around Germans and Germany is that way.
Is your problem that their phrasing invites stereotyping, or that the stereotype it invites happens to be negative? Because if it's the latter, do you really think that's the semantic intention here?
- evnix 2y agoI get that the intention was not harmful, but i am trying to make the poster understand how people might feel. Regarding Germans, if the news was, "AG deportation private company is a scam, they were sending people to forced euthanasia" and someone came and said, "AG stands for Actually Germans". I am sure no German would want to be associated with that.
- perching_aix 2y agoIt sounds like more the former then, which I do agree with.
