So all races and cultures are racist? Because this applies to all languages. Am I racist against Americans if they try to speak Arabic and fail? Am I racist against other Arabs if I don’t understand their accent?
The problem with these types of articles is that they’re very self involved. They don’t view the bigger picture.
A ‘professor’ of nonsense studies. By this rational, not speaking a foreign language and not understanding the speaker is also racist. What a nonissue.
They are guilty of not even trying to pronounce words correctly. I hate this shit. I just say enough in meetings. Can't understand what you are saying. Nope. Walk out.
I had a math class in college. The professor had a really bad accent.. I couldn't understand some words he would repeated use in class. So, I developed a symbol for that word so I could go back in my notes once I had enough context. One example was "anga", turns out that means angle. I went through that until the first midterm..
During that test a student asked a question and the professors response was, "Hold on, I can explain that better in our language."
I immediately turned in my test, left and dropped the class.
I will now purposefully speak in my think southern drawl just so I can call others linguistic racists. It will make me feel better about myself.

That professor is guilty of linguistic stupidity.
I always ask to be transferred back to the US
The professor has to much time on his hands.That leads to wrong think.
Our little school district caters to students that speak 27 different languages. I can't understand most of the accents.
I'll have to remember this next time I listen to a Scotsman.

When is the next slap a professor day.
Just to be clear...is it OK to use subtitles when watching films made in Ireland, Scotland and some parts of England?
Who do I complain to when I'm in Spain and the clerk pulls a face at my non Iberian accent?
