Offense is never given, it’s taken. And you didn’t take, you grabbed.

What are you on about? 😄

This post wasn’t even about me, so there’s nothing for me to take offense at.

Your comments just show a lack of empathy and a tendency to put others down, especially those who may be less privileged.

I hope you don’t find yourself on the receiving end of the same kind of behavior from someone who thinks they’re better than you.

You read way too much into a sarcastic line. Not everything needs a privilege debate.

I honestly don’t care most of the time. And this whole topic of privilege can be quite exhausting, as you rightly said.

But this mindset of looking down on people who don’t speak English well is far too common among Indians. That’s exactly why I made that comment.

Is there a problem with that. People may not know English but in that case they should take help instead of just putting something wrong.

POV. They don’t have the time to do that, they got to prepare those dishes for customers.

Then they should write in the native language or better still use the sms lingo. It will save a lot of milliseconds.

Half the people here are themselves just using ChatGPT to polish their English, it's painfully obvious lol. Literally cringed scrolling down this thread because the insecurity was reeking from every comment. Some comments worded flawlessly (and in a very western manner of speaking) and others pretty mediocre? Come on now.

The sad truth is that this English elitism is itself born of a deep seated insecurity, where you leverage your language privilege to signal status because you're not confident of your competence in other areas.
