I live for the day they'll release the sub-Saharan version of this junk 🤣

Er, let's pretend I didn't understand any of the above post (which is around 99.9% the case, give or take .1%). What is it?

I think it might be a screenshot of the Japanese version of Cortana maybe?

Not even close... I never understand how so many confuse Japanese with Chinese. Japan doesn't use Han characters in everything.

This is basically the Chinese version of Cortana, and it's about as censored and monitored as every other China search engine as far as I know.

Damn it, I actually knew it was Chinese too, and wrote the wrong thing. 🙁

Is it just me, or is Lo Wang trying to be funny, but fails. Cause his so-called humour falls flat, and is in some ways racist ? What is next ? LGBT phobia ?

This may be in bad taste, but you no mess with Lo Wang?

Honestly I don't even care. I am just sick of the political correct BS. I don't really think the original post was racist per se
I didn't really understand it though.

Probably ecause to a lot of people, they just look like unfamiliar Asian writing.

Wow! I thought anti-Chinese racism and bigotry had mostly faded away.

I guess WolverineDK was right. Are you going to start up with some Irish or Polish jokes too?

Call it "political correct BS" or whatever else you like. Lo Wang's posts in this thread are very offensive. It is offensive in the same way that Mickey Rooney's performance in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" was offensive. They are offensive in the same way the Redskins mascot is offensive. His further comments about LGBT folks aren't funny either; it is mean-spirited bigotry and inappropriate here. Comments like Lo Wang's make people feel uncomfortable and unwelcome, myself included.

For a guy who frequently and loudly thumps his bible in these forums, he should be ashamed of himself.

I marvel at the kind of nonsense people can come up with when left to their own devices. The whole point was, Microsoft's representing 1.4 billion Asians with a yellow blob, that's all there's to it.

As for the sodomites, let them repent of their wickedness and get right with God.

I can see this quickly see this turning into a political flamewar. But I don't think that people have the right not to be offended.

I don't really understand the original post. Is it anti-Chinese? I honestly cannot tell.

I actually really don't understand the whole massively different skin to Cortana for Chinese residents. Especially what with how they try to make that icon look like a face.

Lo Wang, could you please spread your ignorant BS in somewhere else next time?

Thanks.
