There are also quite a few who say that learning+speaking a foreign language and cooking foreign dishes is cultural appropriation. Gets particularly funny when they have no idea what they're talking about.

Oh yes, how could I have forgotten that one? Amazing how SJ seems to be such a well-meaning thing at first glance but is actually just a bunch of bitter teenagers arguing about the definition of 'racism'.

whoops then I guess I am a horrible asshole or whatever. Spanish is my minor and I want to become fluent eventually. :D

Hi, ESL speaker here. But I'm European, so that probably doesn't count.

This. I guess the only language I have to feel guilty about for learning is Polish. All my other languages are western. Yay!

Not only did I learn Japanese, I'm probably also ableist because I'm learning sign language.

Oh, you're allowed to learn a foreign language. It's just that the only languages you can learn are the ones you share an ethnic heritage with. So if your grandparents were German, you can learn German and only German. Maybe another European language in time, but only after you've achieved fluency in German. Non-European languages are also possible at this time, but still highly discouraged.

AND YES. I SAW AN ACTUAL POST WITH THOSE "RULES".

You know, I honestly wonder what they'd say about someone like me who, to all appearances, looks completely white [and has German, English, and French for European background] but as Native American, Hispanic [though some SJWs seem to count that as Native] and a bit of black in me, learning non-European languages.

Probably that I ~look completely white~ therefore can only learn European languages but still.

Hmmm my anthropologist friend would disagree and say it's good to broaden your horizons and in the case of living there or staying for while, its certainly good manners to try and learn the language.
