@honza yeah absolutely a 100%. It's what made me abandon it for anything I wanted to use it for (though I might still salvage EDN as a data storage/interchange/DSL format).

the fact that “katana”, usually referring to a really specific kind of sword, actually just means “sword” if you translate it is really funny somehow

@cpsdqs I thought (not a German) they were solidarity protests? Against the US police?

Also, I suspect every country has racism, just maybe showing up in different ways. We (Czechia) have loads, but it's very different from the USA's.
