I think it's more a UK than American English thing and could just as easily apply to curry, fish and chips, etc, as Chinese food, so not a racial remark. | |

| Aug 30, 2016 at 9:08 | comment | added | Journeyman Geek Mod | I suggested the title - takeout seems to be an Americanism and a thrope in media There's even a movies question on it. I'm actually baffled to how it could be seen as racist. I suppose nothing seperates us like the language, even if I've personally used three of the other varients, takeaway, parcel and "tah pao" in singapore. | |

Hopefully, it did its job of attracting viewers to get actual input on the issue. @tgunr, just to answer your question, Trump is always talking about fixing the trade imbalance the US has with China. China is one of his hot button issues that he mentions all the time. Hence, the observation that the title looked like something he might have written. And yes, it was a joke, not politics. | |
| Aug 29, 2016 at 5:15 | comment | added | TOOGAM | @Hydranix : All I was able to recognize appeared to be a racial slur (indicating Chinese people aren't wanted). However I felt unsure of any such thing (to bluntly answer your question), so I took the civil route of simply asking an innocent question. It seems there is more to this than I recognized. Some Google searching indicates some people may use "take away" to refer to Chinese food which I would say is "to go", or "carry out", or maybe "take out". I'm still not sure I got that right, but as an intentional non-partaker of Chinese restaurants, I can be content to just not worry about it | |

| Aug 25, 2016 at 9:54 | comment | added | MarioDS | @TOOGAM Yes it is, but you're not catching it. I think it's hilarious. | |
| Aug 23, 2016 at 9:48 | comment | added | Burgi | @tgunr I think he was joking | |
| Aug 23, 2016 at 9:46 | comment | added | tgunr | Re: "I thought this post was written by Donald Trump" I assume this post was written by a Clinton supporter. Really? Why do politics have to enter into these discussions? That post is inappropriate as is this one. | |
| Aug 21, 2016 at 5:18 | comment | added | TOOGAM | Is this question's title adhering to the entrenched standard of making a pun when talking about removing the tag? Ideas: Great Walling off [china] ... | |

latin1 is an encoding though, not a language. :D

| Aug 18, 2016 at 7:37 | comment | added | DavidPostill Mod | There is also already a superuser.com/questions/tagged/character-encoding tag which may cover a lot of these questions | |
| Aug 18, 2016 at 4:46 | comment | added | fixer1234 | For a minute, I thought this post was written by Donald Trump. The only reason I could see for something other than localization would be if languages based on non-Latin characters have implications beyond locale settings and language packs. But even then, everything falling into that category should have a single tag, not language-specific tags. | |
