Um so i want to apologize to any of my welsh and UK mutuals for being xenophobic, that was very rude of me and i don’t know where it came from. I didn’t realize what I said was xenophobia at all until i was told so. I’ve calmed down now, and I’m truly—
sorry to my friends and anyone else that i’ve hurt. I want to make it clear that I do not hate welsh folk or the language at all. I thought it looked like a weird quirky keyboard smash language like Dutch or Norsk so i was like “hey haha ugly letter language” which was my first—
mistake since i’m not welsh or european at all and i don’t have a right to joke about that. My second mistake was not realizing I had upset venus, sadie, or everyone else and apologizing immediately after and stopping. I still don’t know why I chose to act like that, i can’t—
blame anything else but myself for my actions. I also thought it was okay to call them sheep fuckers, I don’t know where it came from, I even called my friend one before over a week ago which was very uncalled for and I still regret not apologizing, but since they didn’t seem—
upset I thought they took it lightly. At this point again I still somehow didnt pick up on my xenophobia. What I said was very disrespectful to welsh people, and honestly just plain rude. I am unfortunately like this in real life, I have a bad habit of taking things way too—
far and losing friends because I always blame it on someone or something else, but I’ve been fixing and bettering myself every day and it makes me upset that ive done something like this again. I also want to take a moment to acknowledge the normalization of xenophobia in the US—
And how it’s a big problem, especially in my community and my family. It took upsetting my best friends to realize just how bad it is to the point where I, a minority and oppressed person, didn’t see how I could be xenophobic “since they’re white ppl and you can’t oppress whites”
I did learn a lesson and I do own up to my mistake and I will take this as a lesson to never make fun of languages or cultures that are different from me. I hope you can forgive me but really you do not have to. I’ll be logging off for a while to educate and better myself
to be clear, i didn’t say what i said because I personally found it funny, i only said jt because i thought THEY would find it funny. Molding my humor to fit the people i’m talking to is a toxic trait that I’ve adopted and Im trying to get rid of it
which still doesn’t excuse my actions in the slightest but i just don’t know what to do anymore
ok apparently i made it worse and i was xenophobic again by calling welsh a weird quirky language?? it’s weird to me, as an american, since i speak only english and i’m trying to learn other things. that doesn’t mean welsh itself is weird language it’s just weird to me.
but i guess if u want i’ll literally spend money to learn welsh and wales’s culture to prove i’m truly sorry or something
