Your lack of ability to understand does not mean that the rest of us cannot, or justify you derailing a topic.

I had no idea the rest of you can all read Chinese.
I stand corrected.
Imagine being offended by Chinese characters that were translated into English as well (#7).
Teenagers with no control over their government that just want to post something about their own country exist and don't deserve to be harrassed like this especially given how easy it is to just open another topic yourself for discussion. Eye-opening, I know.
Is the term Uyghur used as a slur or an insult here? I've searched and it's supposedly a minor ethnic group on northern china. I don't know if it is supposed to have the meaning as in French - Gallic, Portugal - Lusitanian, etc...
If it's not even intentioned, why discuss about it? Explain yourselves and be clear about what the discussion is about.

It's not a slur.
Uyghurs are a Turkic ethnic group living in Xinjiang, China. Unlike other minorities, they desire more autonomy and don't generally identify as Chinese. (We all know how that goes under regimes.) The Han Chinese CCP (Chinese Communist Party) are accused of perpetuating a genocide towards them. Now, some argue that because Xinjiang has prospered, that is evidence all persecution accusations are baseless, I call caution to that because as we can see in history authoritian regimes are extraordinarily good at covering up their crimes, CCP included. I hope this provides enough context to #2.
My issue with this isn't just that it's random. It's the fact that users like #2 have been repeatedly putting similar posts under this one teenager's forum topics, talking about CCP genocides/crimes *knowing full well they are implicating a teenager as somehow perpetuating these crimes, and furthermore a teenager who likely lacks the English proficiency to defend themselves well.* Oh and the cherry on top: China has 55 officially recognized minorities. OP could very well belong to one of them and none of you would know for obvious reasons.
I do believe that repeated harrassment of players with no consequence and indeed even people willing to upvote this warrants some snark from me since me being more classy about it in earlier topics did absolutely nothing. Blatantly targeting a person and implicating them like this solely based on their nationality is borderline racist and it honestly kind of hurts how none of you can see it, given that even many in America have experienced the same sort of profiling.
Throwing around phrases like this cheapens the cause of serious topics and views. It's a terrible way to raise awareness. And I sure hope you all can see that too. Am I really getting downvoted to oblivion for suggesting that talks of genocide should be moved to a new forum topic where it will raise productive discussion and actually matter, instead of being used to troll? Really now, this is the hill ya'll wanna die on?

Geometry is grade 9 work, although I don't remember most of it. Still going strong without that knowledge though!
You did this level of geometry in grade 9? Usually this is late grade 10...
Algebra 2 is grade 10 at least for me.
For me it's algebra 3 first semester, geo 3 second semester (but then again our geometry is probably a lot easier than most places)
