Sorry there...
It has been a mad time the last couple days or I would have written already.
My apologies Maemish...
I know better ...
that you don't harbour any I'll will...
For the most part I see and know half the questionable things you have said in the past...you didn't mean at all...
It is the Finnish to English translation handbook you are using...
Since I know for a fact ...
That my hovercraft is not full of eels ...

It is a translation quandary ...in the nuances of what you are writing...basically speaking...
Just like your reference to "Yo n****r"
That ..is a bit much...
One could call it in high brow- ese .."cultural appropriation"
In North America ...non-black folks just do not cross that line in saying it...
Its as rude as say...Japanese business men saying "Faith and Begora!" and deciding to Riverdance in front of me..

Or saying to an alternative lifestyle choice individual that "I know a gay person!"

Its just ...not good man...
That is what gets folks beaten very badly..

Or for example...
juiceme's astute noticing of your casual of mention "native american"...
Here....we have beautiful wilderness...no roads...no streetlights...no electric poles and lines...no houses or buildings...or people...for hundreds ...even 1000's of miles around...
And I know...
Talk like that in front of some of my friends..
.
Hell just about any of them...
And the interest in you will be truly fascinating to watch...
Quite a few will want to give you a proper " native american"" experience..
And ask if you would like to go hunting...
You come here...talk like that...
Don't take the kind offer to go on a hunting trip...
You won't be coming back.

So yes...nuance is an issue...
Delicacy of topical approach ...is another...
And translation is the 3rd in a trifecta ...
That even makes me forget you mean no I'll intention....

But be careful...Maemish...
Some know...you mean no negative intention..
But eventually you may run into 1 or a bunch of folks ...
Who don't know...
And that may end very badly for you one day.
And I don't want to see that happen.
