well the action itself is racist I’m not calling you necessarily a racist but the inherent nature the action is racist which i explained why.

now that you know you can either totally ignore what I have explained and continue on saying that you name is Arabic which then would make you racist because I pointed it out to you earlier or you can change your name to something that is actually Arabic and therefore your name would be Arabic or last just not claim that it is Arabic.

simply because you didn’t mean it to be racist unfortunately doesn’t mean its not racist…but good luck with whatever option you choose.

I don’t appreciate your passive aggressive tone but whatever.

I am not prejudice or antagonistic so that is not racist because that is what the definition state I can say anything is racist when it is. Ot

What does that even men

I understand he might not understand the language, perhaps made a mistake, but racist? Really? Definition of racist “a person who is prejudiced against or antagonistic toward people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized”… do you truly feel he was prejudiced against or antagonistic? I don’t think that was intent. Don’t be so sensitive, inform and move past. Too many people throw around harsh words like “racist”.

You are a very nice person.

I understand what you did. You took a phrase, translated it into arabic and then took the arabic letters, found the closest looking english letters and went with that.

It is not racist. It is not orientalism.

It is imagination and creativity. Ignore the haters.

It’s the internet friend, anyone who does anything you don’t agree with is a racist, even if what they have said or done has absolutely nothing to do with race.

I didn’t say he was racist what i said is the action itself is racist and orientlist which it is.

Throwing a bunch of letters together and claiming they look Arabic is absolutely orientalist and can be considered racist.

I have informed him and even went as far as to spell him out the word he is looking for in Arabic but apparently he insists in living in this delusion that his name is some how is Arabic.

at this point I’m so confused on why he doesn’t understand that his name has nothing to do with the language at all.

Thank yku for your kind words I think that a new morning sun is beautiful cause it means there is a new beginning a start of another chance it means warmth it means life it means renewal and rejuvenate

Y’all, seriously. You both agreed that a mistake was made here.

Can we just stop arguing?

Intent matters, so the death knight is right. Actions have appearances, so the druid is right. Now move on.

Unfortunately too often the case. But to be preaching about his misuse of a language only to misuse English is well…kinda trifling.

I agree with you

Ok, here is the definition of “racist” as an adjective , pretty much the same " adjective

  1. prejudiced against or antagonistic toward a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized."
