  1. The woke can make anything about racism or colonialism. They could make fruit racist.

  2.  @horsewings3561  cultural appropriation and cultural appreciation are the same thing. You might be confusing appropriation with misappropriation. It's a new term that came out mainstream about 2015 but stems from 2010 acadamia. It just means to copy something or adopt something. The people calling it "colonial" have swallowed too much academia. People speak others languages all the time and to differing levels. The only way to misappropriate a langauge is to redefine words incorrectly or something.

  4.  @dionysianapollomarx  The king Laoshu used to do those titles and they helped get more clicks aswell as his were hilarious. And if it werent for Laoshu we may not have Frankie Light as he said that black man inspired him. I click on Youtubers who put "My Korean husband ...." because I'm into Korean so it targets my specific interest. I dont have time you waste searching YouTube to find what I want when it can be labelled specifically. Many people are curious to see the white guy chat Chinese or the black man chat Hindi.

  5.  @sebastianleloir6956  that's not what racism is though. Racism is if you are prejudiced or discriminate others based on race. In Jamiaca you have a guy called "White Yardy". Noone thinks he's less Jamaican for pointing out his skin colour.

  6. It also encourages people who are at the same low level. People who are fluent look out of reach to those wanting to learn. Those at basic level look more attainable and it shows the awkwardness and struggles they go through and it shows we can do it too regardless of those struggles.

  7. Identity politics for you. People cant even think normally anymore. Someone above said how its racist to be shocked at a white guy speaking Spanish because there are white Spanish speakers. Its understood what is meant by that video title that its an English speaker. People are too literal.

  9. English native here and I wouldnt know advanced words about economics. Am I not fluent? For the more abstract topics I dont think you need to include those as part of fluency.

  10. You had that Irish guy collab with Laoshu. Xiaoma, Frankie and Steve all wanted to meet Laoshu. Aswell as the others I imagine. I'm a learner but not a Youtuber and I imagined meeting Laoshu and Xiaoma. And I cried when Laoshu passed and still get choked up.

  14.  @sazji  ahh. Yeah. That's crazy. They read too much media or prob did a liberal arts course. These people need to try living in the real world and base their beliefs on that.

  15. It encourages peope to learn a language. Frankie Light is the perfect example. People dont have to approach languages the same way. There is no rule. .

  16. To be fair you did make a video having a stab at those speaking multiple languages on low levels. Ok they used the word "fluent" but still...

  17.  @mocmocmoc13  I think he spoke it for a couple years but he was also studying other languages whole he spoke that. He used to hardcore study one language for 3 months and then go from there so he was using multiple at a time. He had to stop at a point or it starts to get too complex and he spoke 70 languages. So there is only so far you can study when you know that many. He was happier to communicate at basic level with 70 diff cultures rather than be fluent in a few
