It's really not hard to remember. You'd only think that if you didn't try to say it once even. Papakanghorohoro or something
you literally only missed an a in kanga
i didn't have to look it up to know this
you know why? because i already knew the word papa and horohoro is the same fucking sound repeated twice. there is no possible reason this could be anything other than racist. i'm not from new zealand and i learned the word in fifteen seconds and i know fucking no te reo besides te reo, maori, haka and fucking PAPAKANGAHOROHORO
The term "racist" gets thrown about with so little though these days, it's effectively meaningless.
Oh yeah? What are some other examples of things people call racist, which aren't?
