- keerthiko 12y agoIf you want to argue, way to cite a flagged Wikipedia section, for not having any citations and "possible original research," and also being exactly just that one sentence long with no added explanation. I'm from south India/grew up in the middle east/studied on the east coast/worked on the west coast of the US, lived in Singapore and Thailand briefly. And there are definitely some colloquial usages that are fairly universal. In my experience this is one of them. Please also note appended smiley face. Obviously not everyone is familiar with every colloquialism. It's too bad if you were confused by the implied meaning of "racist against", and if my clarification of its colloquial usage was insufficient for you, but i find your comment adding very little value here.
- bitJericho 12y agoYou're just being racist against him.
- SunShiranui 12y agoI would say it's pretty easy to infer the meaning from context.
