The difference between Chinese and Japanese was what I was getting at. I didn't mean to call you ignorant; I'm sorry for that mix up that I was afraid might happen. I was referring the ignorance to the idea that all Asian's the same. I didn't expect that mind-set from you.

I didn't want to use "ignorance" in my last post, but I didn't know what else to use for what I was trying to get at. I wanted to leave it as "...but I can also be content," but usually when someone's content, that person's content with something. Instead of leaving it ambiguous, I went with the only word I could think up.
I didn't want to associate you with the ignorance in the statement, because I suspected that you know more than what I interpreted from those previous posts. The only way I could accomplish that while still expressing my frustration was by not using second person.
If I did want to call you ignorant, I would have written: "...but I can also be content with leaving you ignorant." However, that'd be a lie because if it were true, I wouldn't be content leaving you like that.

I think the other issue I had was confusion, because I kept seeing multiple contexts from your post. The first time I read it, I thought you were mocking the English-as-a-second-language speech of East Asians; the more I read it, I got the impression that you were blowing off the difference between Chinese and Japanese, which actually really...annoys me. Then I thought that you meant all Asian's the same, as the saying goes, so I wasn't sure if you were joking or being serious.



Well you have read too much into my posts and pissed me off.

I would never mock people who have English as a second language because i have family in Costa Rica who use English as a second language.

And i know the differences, in all my time of posting here, do you honestly think im ignorant? Just because i confused Chinese candy for Japanese?

Dont bother responding, i'm leaving this guild.
So you wont have ignorant me to see anymore.
