It's just scientific fact that they love being slaves to corporations unlike us, the proudly independent and individualistic Westerners

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

It's technically correct as a noun for a Japanese person, like "a German" or "an Italian." It just sounds weirdly antiquated and kinda racist in modern day.
What's racist about it though? Like isn't just because most people that would say "I met a japanese" are the same people who use the words "a female" when they talk about women? Is there anything actually racist in the phrasing itself, that makes it different from referring to other nationalities?
Like someone else said, the vibes are just off in a way I can't quite articulate.
"A German" sounds okay but "a Japanese" or "a Chinese" just don't without a "person" or some other word after them
Oh well that's easy. That's because the chinese are people, while the germans aren't
