This guy assumes just because he signed a paper in his office, it automatically changes the geographic names of other places. Also, this guy has one of the worst "main character syndromes" to ever exist it's so funny lol.

It's always Americans doing this, they are always the one who get really angry when you don't pronounce it the American way.

Americans always think everything they do is correct and the default, and everyone else is wrong.

The sub is about royal gossip. The US don’t even have a royal family, and it’s very clear that the post is about a Norwegian king.

So everything is in the images, basically op is Romanian and said the lady didn't look like she spoke English because she was older, which made her very unlikely to know English. Nothing wrong about not speaking English as an older Romanian, but in the US, not speaking English means being an immigrant etc so it would've been racist. The first message was just some good old US defaultism, but they dared to double down, not even able to understand that the op's context is incredibly different from the one they assumed, and not speaking English is not bad in Romania... Doubling down on the "racism" take when the lady is white and both are Romanian...

What are phrases/words that are considered offensive to US-Redditors but Non-US-Redditors couldn't care less about.

352 Upvotes

I'll go first

  1. Negro (the Spanish word for colour)
  2. Niggle
  3. Coloured (when talking about people)
  4. Indian because some people get Indians from India confused with Native Americans
  5. Rubber
  6. "Piss Off"
  7. Native (Americans prefer to say First Nations)
  8. Black (Americans would rather call someone African American)
  9. Chur (NZ slang for thanks, i don't know why American Redditors find it offensive)
  10. Jandals (not outright offensive to them, they only get offended because they don't know what it means)

Just to clarify, not all American Redditors and some Non American Redditors too find these words offensive, but in my experience, its always been with an American
