It unironically is. Pidgin and creole languages are some of the most amazing testaments of human ingenuity and adaptability even if at surface level they sound like r-tard babble to some.
I was actually being unironic with my comment as well. It is like how French, Italian, Spanish, etc all came from Latin but we are seeing it happen right in front of us.
Definitely. Thereโs a really interesting documentary about Hawaiian Pidgin (technically Hawaiian creole) where they talk about the fact that it bridges cultural gaps and lets islanders from different ethnic backgrounds communicate but to outsiders makes them appear unintelligent or โwatered down.โ Plenty of people who speak pidgin can also learn and shift to more โformal Englishโ but it can be really hard for others when they grow up speaking it because everyone in their community does.
Hawaiian Pidgin is fascinating to me because I spent 5 of my most formative years there and from that, every so often I will say something that makes everyoneโs eyes turn.
How is ass raping the queen's english with a rusty knife because you can't be bothered to learn to speak it properly an example of "ingenuity"? ๐

My family is from Liberia & Sierra Leone. In Sierra Leone we speak a pidgin language called krio which is very similar to what that person was speaking in the twee
Edit: it's spoken throughout West Africa with a few minor differences, but a person from Nigeria could easily understand a person from Sierra Leone or Liberia, etc.
If not anything, please appreciate her efforts. You must not be productive by what you studied in school. Let's learn to be positive and open minded. Let's not find fault in everything.
Not finding faults is how you get a group of f0|d "engineers" build a bridge and have it crush people people the next day.
Oh my god shut up. I personally didn't see anything racist but what I did see was people calling out how ridiculous that mask is. Including other black people so wtf exactly is the issue here???
I think when this is over, there will be a period of time at least where a face mask will be a fashion statement as well as a practical item, like it has been in places like Korea.
The charitable part of me wants to think that she's just getting ahead of the curve. I never really understood people wearing classes without lenses, but they certainly exist(ed?). I actually met a few of them.
