imagine unironically knowing what it means and not only knowing what it means but actually using the term as if you were some type of high IQ intellectual when in reality you're just an idiot
pretty cringe

No, but there are thousands of foreign students attending American universities who committed fraud to get into the school. My friend at Ohio State was involved in this program to assimilate and help foreign students and a huge portion of these people had perfect or close to perfect SAT and ACT scores and they couldn't speak English. How you get an 800 on the English portion of the SAT without speaking passable English is a mystery. Foreign students pay outrageous fees though

They're just larpers, the characters irl they play are more likely to be from boston Chinatown, some Asians live in the nicer parts of town that would have been Irish hence more traditional thick micks like marky mark sperging out on the chinks and gooks, and the mullattos live in poor areas of Boston now

Do you realize you're outing yourself as some fat beaner mutt whose earliest family member in the US was in the 1950s? You're some faggot named Alexandros but don't even speak spanish aside from knowing when your fat whore mother is telling you to clean your room.

I have seen this happen in college. Foreign students who don't understand English as well as you would think. What's really alarming (well actually we're past that point), has been the reaction to others noticing this. They attack Americans for not communicating correctly as if that somehow justifies anything. That mentality alone tells you a lot about what's going on. It happens with discussions about crime as well.

They don't care what college they go to as long as they get a degree from somewhere in America. A lot of the Chinese students were from extremely wealthy families and it's just a 4 year vacation basically

Worthless infographic. The irish came during the great famine in the 19th century, obviously there's barely any recent emigrants from Ireland as it's a rich western country these days

He's not wrong lol

The idea that people being born into certain families makes them superior is objectively incorrect

I am trash who grew up on the streets, and I am better than these people in most every way imaginable yet they will still look down on me because of where I came from

Universities know it's a problem but the issue is that the standard English proficiency exams, like IELTS, rely on locally administered tests. An IELTS exam in India or China will be scored much higher by a local than an exam administered in the West, either because of corruption or because locals care less about idiosyncrasies they likely have themselves.
It's frequently the case that a Chinese person who scores an 8 back home will work in an English speaking country for years and then only score a 7 in that country.
>>

>imagine unironically knowing what it means and not only knowing what it means but actually using the term

>>217449480
then they should stop allowing locally administered tests

She doesn’t look Indian, so that’s weird that she used that term
Only Indians care about caste system bullshit, even the ones born in the west (this is why they’re extremely annoying irl)

the term was coined when there were no hindoos of the orient anywhere near boston. it's a city with people who read (or used to read) books about things and learned about the world

Term is now ruined, so you will never catch me using it in current year

Well it's difficult to evaluate speaking proficiency in general. You can do paper based tests for reading, writing, and listening, but speaking always requires a skilled partner. It's not feasible to send English speakers worldwide to conduct these exams so they make do with local "experts".

no one ever caught you using it in past years either

Redundant post, but thanks for confirming
>>
>>217449552
It just means an elitist. You see the term crop up occasionally, like in "Brahmin Left".
>>
>>217449762
why would you announce that you're no longer going to use a phrase you've never heard or used before, which you didn't know the meaning of, and which isn't in use in your social circles?
>>

Why wouldn’t I? I’m expressing displeasure at how it got ruined

This thing was retarded. Why didn’t the schools get in trouble?
>>
>>217449480
I'm aware, but people will ignore it and criticize others as though Americans speaking at a lower level justifies bringing foreigners who do too. It's an odd mentality to have and it makes no sense. When it's extending to crime it's even more retarded. Americans rape, so you shouldn't care if we import more rape. Said by people who supposedly care about rape and want every one to live in a communist commune where we all take care of each other and it's all rainbows and sunshine. It gets to a point where it's obviously not about doing anything other than destruction. That's why it's all convoluted and makes no sense. It's about destroying.

That's weird to me. I'm not American but I've always found the majority of Americans to speak clearly. Especially compared to the other English accents of the world.
>>
>>217449792
>"Brahmin Left".
I thought that was literally about rich indians. They come to the west and then do "muh brown skin, im opressed" idpol while growing up with slaves
>>
>>217448924
No need to wait, this was happening at least 10 years ago.
It’s really telling these people don’t suffer imposter syndrome
>>
>>217449830
because you didn't know it existed 20 minutes ago, and the social circles that used it to describe something particular are at no risk of misusing it, and will continue to do so
why would it be "ruined forever" because jeets exist, when the term specifically and sardonically relates to their caste structure?
>>
>>217449978
They are really self hating and retarded lol
When I went to uni, I had a friend who was half black but looked Indian and all the Indian students (not immigrants either, just dudes who grew up here) would start shit with him all the time. He was the leader of a student org and had a bunch of prestigious internships at crazy places like Goldman Sachs (thanks to being half black, but he was pretty smart too to be fair) and the jeet students would literally heckle him and his events in passive aggressive ways. It was so fucking stupid

I'm not angry, I'm bemused
would you not describe yourself as "spending time and energy getting angry about it" given your previous post said your intent was "expressing displeasure," and do you think a term you've never heard of and still can't generalize is a high priority for discontent?
>You sound retarded and can’t read a room so no answer I give you will even matter
it's a one on one conversation so "read the room" means "I don't want to or can't respond" and I think most people wouldn't be satisfied with your answers
>>
>>217449978
It describes a trend in left wing politics where movements are increasingly based around an intellectual elite instead of the working class. Everything gets converted into this overly abstract, academic discourse which is opaque to normal people.

Not really. He kind of just randomly made it up and it was forgotten and replaced. He was offended by the current name given to them still.

It's a joke. Let's ask people in india and Pakistan how they feel about anglos at the time.
