Just as a word of advice, don't use slurs from another cultures. You know the slurs you shouldn't say in your culture, and I promise you sound just as ignorant and bigoted using the slurs you don't understand. The "I'm not racist but" introduction did not help here.

Frankly? If there's something sounding bigoted here, it's your "since you're not American I assume you're an ignorant*, so let me enlighten you poor little thing" discourse.

I might not be a native English speaker but I'm fully aware of the offensiveness of the word in question; and it's being used for this very reason, to highlight shit immigrants in USA go through, but emigrants from USA expect to avoid. (Ooopsie, I'm supposed to mince words and call them "expats", right?)

And by the bloody reactions, this shite worked pretty well, innit.

*just in case: nominalisation intended.

The “I’m not racist but” introduction [SIC] did not help here.

That is not even remotely close to what I wrote in the content warning; don't distort it.
