This is such a “say you’re American without saying you’re an American” moment.
I really didnt think I had to explain this .. but I guess I should?
This is a perfect example of the nuance in the language I think. White doesn’t mean white person. I get it. I still found it odd to use this photo for language learners. Because white/black means something completely different in other languages (especially English) and without the use of kanji the meaning is totally lost.
I hope that’s clear.
白い = just white
白人 = white person
Is this Anki?
Lmao i was thinking the deck was made by an even darker person, so this is considered light to him
Teeth it is then
Lmfao I had the exact same reaction 😭
it’s clearly a photo of mr white.
Holy hell
Disney deck
I mean he isn’t too black is he? Like Obama level black
what app is this? it looks way to modern for anki
1. I think they mean his teeth.
2. As usual, I’m going to recommend that you stop brute-force grinding your way through rote memorization with a context-free and therefore inefficient tool like Anki, and instead engage with real-world usage by reading, writing, listening, and speaking (at an appropriate level, of course).

Its his teeth

It’s about his teeth. 白い is not used to refer to someone’s race. That’s 白人 (hakujin).
Because you are using dark mode.
haha, is that the 2.3k deck? I’m using the same, one, and this one cracks me up too. Such a menacing photo.

Why does your Anki look so modern?
Which app are you using?
is anki free?
Idk how many times I should say it, but…
Own deck > community shared decks
(Even anki manual recommends to use own decks)
The quizlet set I found had Obama for 黒
