Chines use this word all the time especially on the phone:
In a controversial decision, the University of Southern California replaced a professor of business communication with another instructor in one of his classes for saying a Chinese word that sounds like an English slur.
Late last month, Greg Patton, the professor, was teaching a lesson on “filler words” in other languages — think “err,” “um” or “like” in English — in his master’s-level course on communication for management.
“Taking a break between ideas can help bring the audience in,” Patton said, according to a recording of one of the Zoom course sections and a transcription that appeared next to him on screen. “In China,” for instance, he continued, “the common pause word is ‘that that that.’ So in China it might be ne ga, ne ga, ne ga.”
Patton, who has worked in China but is not a scholar of Chinese, did not warn students that 那个, or ne ga, (alternatively spelled nà ge and nèige) sounds something like the N-word — which it does. And some or all of the Black students across three sections of the course were offended by what they’d heard. So they wrote a letter to the dean of the Marshall School of Business, Geoffrey Garrett, among others, describing Patton as insensitive and incapable of teaching the three-week intensive communications course.
“The way we heard it in class was indicative of a much more hurtful word with tremendous implications for the Black community,”
If its that bleeding hurtful then dont listen to any bloody rap songs and start complaining about THEM

Hypocrites:
“In all the years I’ve been debating race and racism with white people, the most common response some have offered in their own defense hinges on black people’s use of the N-word.
“If they can say it, why can’t we?”
It’s a question Kendrick Lamar might be hearing a lot following an incident onstage May 20 at the Hangout Music Festival in Gulf Shores, Alabama. The Pulitzer Prize-winning rapper, who headlined the three-day fest along with The Chainsmokers and The Killers, invited a group of people from the crowd for a rap-along to his 2012 single “m.A.A.d. city.” Things were going great until one young fan, a white female who introduced herself as Delaney, got the lyrics a bit too right.
After she delivered the lines in which the N-word is repeated several times, Lamar became visibly angry, told the fan that a “bleep” was in order (suggesting that, really, she should have known better) and ultimately booted her from the stage.
“It’s over,” he said, ending her less than 15 minutes of fame. (Watch video captured from the audience below.)

During my time in the NHS I worked for a Jewish Cons. Psychiatrist. His take on “we can but you can’t”, was in regard to joke telling. Its ok for jews to tell jokes about their own race and religion, but woe betide anyone else doing it.
The problem, in a nutshell.

Remember the bbc is very firm on who is not and does not get near the studio.
Bet his people could send anything and it is posted no matter what.
China have a 3 child policy to replace your child so don’t worry Frans Timmermans.
Three-child policy (Chinese: 三孩政策), whereby a couple can have three children, is a family planning policy in the People’s Republic of China. The policy was announced on 31 May 2021 at a meeting of the Politburo of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), chaired by CCP General Secretary, Xi Jinping, on population aging.
Every year we are going to get the same rhetoric that the temperature change is more than anticpated and we must do more to combat it.
Which means skim more money from the public.
It will not end until countries pull out because they have been destroyed by the expense.
Then, when it is all over, the scientists will say it was unavoidable because it was a climate cycle which could not be stopped and most of the money spent was wasted.
It’s like watching a steamroller on the horizon lumbering towards you at 1mph.
Unlimited Snake oil for snakes.
Al Gore smiles.
What a pathetic dick!
And here is BBC Newsnight with a Lord.
That press release was around the W1A cubicle gardens the second their girl was looking iffy.
Apols to Fed, but it is BBC Scotland. And Frankie Boyle is a favoured son.
The bbc likes young people.
Well, a couple.
The bBBC reaching new levels of advanced lunacy. I find it hard to believe that any of their reporters had any formal education and more importantly taught common sense!
What is it about prematurely bald eco miserabilists that so attracts the bbc?
We are now used to the wokies chucking statues into rivers and that they want to remove anything that they can find with the most tenuous link to slavery centuries ago.
From Churchill to Francis Drake and all the others, if they can be in any way connected to slavery they are cancelled.
There’s one person who the lefties have not attacked (yet) who probably has more connections with slavery past and that is The Queen.
Are they going to attack her and try to get her cancelled. She has jewels, the commonwealth (former Empire) and a huge amount of possessions associated with a slavery past.
We know she’s not a slave owner or anything like that but we are a sensible rational thinking lot on here but the virtue signalling woke pc miserable moaning babies are the opposite.
They wouldn’t dare attack her…..would they.
Could we have another Roundhead v Cavalier type of civil war brewing.
Marianna liked this.
The bio suggests great things ahead. Possibly not involving professional journalism.
Listened to BBC’s ‘Today’ programme this morning.
As is usual these days, the newsreaders ‘interviewed’ quite a large number of representatives of the ‘Global Warming’ cult (and that alone should have prompted some questions about what vast quantity of so-called ‘greenhouse gases’ was generated in getting all these activists and chanting youths to Glasgow for this ‘jamboree’, but of course, this is the BBC……).
One by one, after pontificating about keeping ‘1.5 Alive’ and the ilk, they eventually all, every single one of them, got to the real purpose of COP26 for them, namely getting their paws on – M O N E Y and loads of it.That was ‘all’ they wanted.
Not one of them mentioned a single project for which this money would be used in order to curtail the emissions of their countries’ ‘greenhouse gases’ emissions – and of course, the money would most likely be used to buy even more goods to add to these ‘pollutants’, rather than reducing them.
(And note, finally, for those many southern hemisphere representatives, not one of them mentioned population control, as an effective method of reducing emissions, either).
Hypocrisy ? – ‘Climate Change’ is thy name.
Richard I heard some of it . I kept on shouting at the radio “what’s in it for us ?” Why should I give my taxes to ‘save ‘ some island which isn’t viable any more ?
I can’t see anyone donating money to me … that’s real life not the green crap fantasy …. I worry that nut nut is going to commit in law ( again ) to give our money away without democratic consent ….
And right at the head of the circus will always be the bbc.
Have to say, it is a lovely screed.
It’s all very well, all these vegan nutters trying to make London vegan, but they never understand that every single perfect vegetable comes by huge gas-guzzling lorry, at great cost as they always demand the very best available, unlike meat, which is sent in bulk and sorted in Smithfield etc.!
Vegans are a pain in the a**e with their stupid fantasies, but still demand perfect cabbages, carrots, un-seasonable vegetables etc., and the rest of the knobbly veg is just chucked away!
Selfish bunch, vegans…
With these seafaring incomers throwing their passports and any ID overboard so that they can say they come from Afghanistan there’s a way around this.
When they say they want their families to come to join them they can only be allowed to have them come from the Country they claimed to be from.
If they say they are from Afghanistan yet their family is living in Chad then there’s the lie and that’s where they should be sent back to.
Might work in some cases but even if it’s only about 500 a day it’s better than nothing.
ITV local news : COP26 They went to Barnsley Market and then air clips of 9 people with fear of Climate Change
and 1 skeptic.
I reckon they might have edited a lot of skeptics out.
“Here at COP26 there are FEARS the deal may be watered down”
Who fears ?
Not me
He has a point.
@georgegalloway
Let me get this right: we have deployed British troops to the Polish border where yet no migrant or refugee has crossed from Belarus. While our own borders are being breached thousands of times a week without let or hinderance. I wonder what that can be about?
@RT_com
Another government advert signals #WhiteManBad

BBC news at 6 item on Young Carers, kids who care for parents.
Special focus is on a black family.
Article shows zero white males.
Jim’s people reckoned the name would see the bbc see this as news.
Referee James Adcock, who spoke about his experience of being an openly gay man in football, says he’s pleased with the positive response to his comments.
Rory Cellan-Jones is trending
He tweets. “Our dog walker’s van with our dog Cabbage in it has been stolen while he was calling at a house”
… 5 other dogs were in the same van.
Covid : weekly trends are still down
but not good news re cases
For 2 days in a row they have been higher than the same day last week.
Might be kids didn’t get it at half term,
but back at school maybe they got it.
Sorely missed.
I seldom finish watching the news happy . But watching the gloom on C4 news at the coming failure of the green thing left a glow .
And with a bit of luck there won’t be another meeting for a while and all the nonsense of giving away our money for nothing will not happen ….
Kick the ball / planet down the road please …
Thank you again to Mark Steyn for mentioning that which must not be mentioned.
He avoided the M word though.
Mark Steyn was absolutely brilliant.
He didn’t need to use the “M” word, he identified the culprits clearly enough talking about their land of origin and the fact they were marrying their own cousins…
He attacked the police, the social workers and our pathetic government. I’ve not heard anything close to this on the MSM ever.
Absolutely superb.
He really is a breath of fresh air.
Thank heavens he is back. It is a real scoop for GBN. Perhaps Delingpole next?
BBC locates pr as news penmanship.
“stranded”
Nope AFAIK they can walk back into Belarus any time they want.
Quote of the week, I do believe. Thanks GW.
Lineker’s £9m/year = £1m every 40 days
= £25K per day !
So an MP of the same “market value of Lineker” would get £125K in 5 days
I never expected to say this…
It’s a shame he isn’t an MP
Going for a shower
This is incredible.
Our troops are now in Poland helping to police their borders from invasion…
Meanwhile, back in Blighty, the RNLI are escorting the invading hordes in.
Am I missing something…
WTF is going on?
Jeff
I missed any proffered rationale for sending the Brit squaddies in.
Did the Poles invite them?
Did Brussels ask?
There is some reticence eh?
Now that we have had pestilence perhaps it’s time for the ‘war ‘ part of the script -I’ll put up the weekend thread in the hope that there is one …
Harra says “1.1C is proven dangerous”
Really ? Here’s “A neat analogy”
“average annual temperature in Edinburgh is 8.3 °C ”
“average annual temperature in London is 10.8 °C”
Is that 2.5C rise that someone gets if they move house from Edinburgh to London really, really scary ?
Let’s look who is in that tweet
– @CarbonBrief The main PR org in a building full of Green PR orgs
– @ECIU Green PR org headed by ex-beeboid Roger Black
– @Revkin journo who left to become boss of the Sustainability Communications Network
E3G = Third Generation Environmentalism , It’s a Green PR outfit as well *
* Their bio says they are an independent climate change think tank
“independent” seems a PRtrick word there then
Founding directors : One was a UK career diplomat, for 20 years and then a UK climate diplomat for 6
The other two : one left WWF and another left Friends of the Earth to go and work in government
E3G is financed by the European Commission, the UK government and all the usual GreenBlob suspects
http://linkis.com/wordpress.com/Lzc2A
So when Harra says “the enemy is already in the palace.”
Is he projecting ?
Surely he is working with 4 GreenBlob PR teams
so he is the enemy is already in the palace of impartiality of the BBC.
