greetings taters
Greetings to all the tubers and taters
For when you need a gender neutral greeting for your Peruvian/Irish/Polish friend
Holy shit I just looked it up, apparently Belarus leads the world in potato consumption, doubling Irish consumption of potatoes per capita. That’s wild. I apologize Belarus, I wasn’t familiar with your game

Yeah, Belarussians are sometimes referred to as бульбаши (from бульба = one of the names for potato in Slavic languages and a cognate of English bulb) in Russian. Some people may or may not consider this a slur though so don’t actually use it please.
Funny. In Denmark “potato” is used as a slang term for white people.
Potato skin is not even white lol
I am not Belarussian so it’s not for me to judge whether this is offensive to the point of banning it but I would say, generally, that the Russian terms for the various ethnicities inhabiting the former Russian empire are best avoided. As the current use of a similar word for Ukrainians (which I’m not even going to type here) shows, things can quickly turn from “friendly banter” to full-on racist, nationalist, supremacist abuse. At the same time, some would argue that such terms were always about supremacy, and I recently find myself agreeing with this more and more.
4.9/5 stars on Amazon this book looks good
