Chinese Naming Convention

How do Chinese people name their children?

They drop a tin can down a flight of stairs and call them the sound that's made.

Listen up, genius! The joke is that Chinese names sound like random noises, so they name their kids after the sound a tin can makes falling down stairs. It's a silly stereotype. Bet you trip on stairs too, butterfingers!

If you see this as racist, you're too thin-skinned to exist in 2020.

I mean, not only is this joke not funny, but it comes across as incredibly racist and culturally insensitive. A joke being a little racy is one thing, but this is more like you're stretching to take a jab at ethnicity and calling it "edgy". So no, I / we aren't too thin-skinned to exist in 2020 Ariel - you and your ilk are too thick-headed to learn to adapt to a world that values and respects others.
