    I have chatted with a mate in reddit chat (or messages, idk) in german. To agree I typed “jap” meaning “ja”, so “yes”. Ja/Jap is the same as no/nope in english.

    30 seconds later I was banned from this chat for a week because of being “racist”.

    Turns out that “Jap” was a derogatory term for japanese people…

    My mate hasnt even reported the message (obvously) but reddit banned me because of aggreeing in a 1to1 chat…
