Uh⌠no, it canât. You could just say, âpuking into a toilet,â instead of, âSpeaking Chinese.â That was incredibly insulting to them (even while they have their own unrelated issues). What if I said pooping off the edge of a skyscraper was called âspeaking American?â Itâs the same preposterousness. Idk where your relative got that phrase from but itâs certainly not well-known, nor should it be well-received.
Iâd laugh if pooping off a sky scraper would we be considered âspeaking Americanâ. We donât have to take it personally. Relative is a boomer from socal so who knows where he got it from. Is it really that insulting? Brush it off is what Iâd do

No, or would you say the term âPardon my Frenchâ is racist?

Everything can be spun to be racist now a days

Probably yes, why would it not be? Or are you suggesting that the French language is only made up of slurs one should excuse himself for speaking it?

Hereâs the thing - critical race theory states that you canât be racist towards the French. You can be prejudiced against them, but not racist.
