Oddbean new post about login | logout How relevant is this for Europeans anyway? The only use case for the word is karaoke.
Why would this woke nonsense not be relevant in Europe?
Because that word is cultural for North America. It would mean something else in Europe. Do you think black Europeans use that word in the same way Americans do?
If you'd have an anti woke epiphany in the US and go use that word because of freedom of speech you will likely end up in the hospital. If you do the same thing in Europe your punishment would be to be ridiculed and ignored.
Haha yeah you’re right about that
" If you do the same thing in Europe your punishment would be to be ridiculed and ignored." Wrong; #cybertorture
Don’t know I still hear the word a lot in Europe just as an expression of somebody who’s black. But apparently that’s inappropriate
