Yeah, it's the same ones who scream about colonialism and then go and try to force their extremely American view of things onto other countries. They have no sense of self awareness.

I saw someone like that claiming that the letter ø was a "dog whistle" for racists who "glorified Vikings" and "ultra-whitness". The problem? Ø is a completely normal letter in Norwegian, Danish and Swedish, and if we removed it, the languages would fall apart... (In Swedish, we use "Ö" instead of "Ø", but the difference between them are miniscule.) They tried to be so woke that they actually began to hate different cultures...

I remember an American professor got in trouble (and possibly fired) for talking about the Mandarin filler word “nei ge”. It means “umm” or “that”. But since it somewhat sounds like a racist term, he got cancelled. Disgustingly Anglo-centric like all this woke BS.
