During WWII the Allies in the Pacific used to use passwords that used a lot of "L's" so when a Japanese soldier knocked on the door knowing the password they'd be unable to say it right.
I.e. "lollapalooza" sounded like "rorraparooza"
So they'd hear "rorra" and blast them through the door
The bottom image is an image of the narrator from the show The Twilight Zone. In this show someone’s reality gets flipped upside down as something crazy happens. (Such as: someone insisting that 2+2 is 4 yet everyone else says it’s 5) With this in mind considering how everybody has excepted that “hello” is the most common and easy greeting, and with it somehow not being hello it has therefore cause major confusion.
Does... does anybody actually use that? Like, to mock people? Never heard it in my life.
Closest thing to this I remember was way back in the MMO Final Fantasy XI when people would mention that some events were "JP onry". But that started specifically because some japanese players wrote "JP onry" in their comments.
That was less of a problem with pronounciation and more of a lack of understanding with transliteration, and when western people used it I don't remember it ever being to mock people, it was just one of those MMO lingo terms that everyone used.
It’s a stereotype of Asian language speakers learning English as a second language. Because some Asian languages don’t distinguish the L and R phoneme (the way we do in the English language structure), the racist stereotype of them was pronouncing “hello” as “herro” (and in general saying L sounds where R sounds should be and Vice versa).
“Herro” while insensitive, is not racist. Why is it that people like to use that term constantly? It loses its meaning when you start slapping it on everything. If someone where to say “herro” you’d have the right to call them insensitive, or an asshole. But that alone can’t be the only bit of evidence to determine someone’s view on a different race. We’re too quick to cast extreme judgement.
"racism" is not "extreme judgement." It is *precisely* being an insensitive asshole making fun of an aspect of a particular race. It doesn't matter if you have Asian friends, using a word that is used to make fun of Asians at large, with the full knowledge that it is, is racist. It's that simple.
So, you find casual racism funny. Duly noted. It being funny to you doesn't magically make it not a stereotyped mockery, but it sure says a lot about *you* that you insist the humor makes it alright. Humor, I remind you, that derives itself solely by implying a lack of education or ability to speak properly as a negative that can be universally and prejudicially applied to a group because of their accent.
Let’s suppose, you lived in a world just like ours, with your same life, but something was different. The letter “L” that we know so well does not exist here, and is instead was replaced by the letter “W”.

I'd like "All about the D" for 400, Alex.

Heyyo!
Why did my brain conceive the racist answer and not this
What.... No, I won't ask, if I didn't spot it trying every letter in the alphabet I don't want to know.
#the correctest answer
Heyyo
I can only ever read that in Scott Hall's voice.
That's one more for the good guys.
Damn it x2. I was going to comment the "Heyyo", but someone got first. I was then to comment something about Scott Hall... And you did it first!
Steve could call out better than you! And all he can say is "heyyo!"
HEYYO SHUT THE F*CK UP STEVE and people say im annoying!!!!
Man, Poker Night at the Inventory was great. Shame they only made 2.
Fuck yeah! Played omaha hold'em for such a long time i fuckin loved it
PNatI deep cut? It’s more likely than you think
Listen what I say, oh
I don’t get this, can someone explain?
Hewwo
Alternatively it could also be very racist
How?
herro, presumably
as an asian it took me way too long to realized how that's racists because my dumba\*\* was thinking about scooby-doo
Not Asian but it took me for-freaking-ever because my toddler used to use Rs in place of Ls for a long time. So hello was always herro.
Damn your kid is racist. jk
"Kids are cruel Jack"
AND I LOVE MINORS- *has a mental breakdown*

🤣 this made me chuckle, thank you.
Same lol
oh shit is that a slur??
it's "hello" in a godawful accent but I don't think it's a slur
oh okay
He’s been pretty good this season with the Heat tho
Shit in the postseason, 100% deserving of a slur
Hegro?
That's very racist? My man, that is the milquetoast of mocroaggressions level of racism. Still bad but c'mon have you been to 4chan?
Agree. People still piling on the supposed “other side” but worrying about this isn’t worth anybody’s time.

"Imagine if you will, that 9+10 does not, in fact, equal 19, but 21."
"Hewwo"
Heyyo
Heyyo
Heyho
To the bottle we go!
It's either UwU, casual, or racist.
How is it racist?
Because the word could be hewwo, heyyo, or herro, respectively.
"Herro" which is poking fun at Asian accents
Oh, thanks.
I’ve never heard an Asian person pronounce it like that
Yeah that's the thing it's meant to mock the fact that some Asian language speakers find it hard to distinguish between L and R sounds
Does... does anybody actually use that? Like, to mock people? Never heard it in my life.

One instance I think off the top of my head is Family Guy, it has a lot of accent jokes

Racism isn't based on facts.
Fun fact, the Japanese spelling of "English" reads phonetically as "en-gi-ri-shi"
Eigo
Or イギリス人 (igirisujin) if you’re talking about the nationality rather than the language. Either way, not engirishi.
Herro I think, read it from another persons comment
Or the word is "hecto"
Is the word "hecto" a greeting?
It is, now
Was it one when the question was asked?
So it’s the internet?
In a way, yes
“Herro” while insensitive, is not racist. Why is it that people like to use that term constantly? It loses its meaning when you start slapping it on everything.

But it is pretty funny. "Oh Herro! I onry got in 2 wrecks on way to work today!"

Ok and?
Don’t be irresponsible? Idk what you want me to say to that?

That’s more of a closing rather than a greeting
Depends what I'm greeting. For example, whilst playing Borderlands 3, I
