My partner is Korean, and I asked her if she thought this was racist. She said “it is (technically), but who is getting offended by that?”

I never used the term in the first place, but if I did, I wouldn’t stop saying it because I know about its past.

I’m fully convinced that anyone who is sincerely offended by that term is looking for something to be offended by.

I don’t waste my time thinking about how “smooth brain” is offensive to people who literally have a smooth brain.

I don’t waste my time dictating to the English; their colloquial term for a “cigarette” is inappropriate nowadays.

And I don’t waste my time replying to comments on Lemmy regarding semantics.

Oh, wait…

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
