| Mar 24, 2021 at 20:13 | comment | added | Chronocidal | @Lambie Because this answer is relatively short and to the point, without all the obnoxious soapboxing and excessive use of emphatic formatting present in yours? It certainly makes this come across as possessing a more reasonable / less condescending tone. Sometimes it's not just what people say, but how they say it. Even when I agree with your posts, sometimes I hesitate to upvote them, because you frequently come across as a bit of a dick. | |

| Mar 21, 2021 at 18:05 | comment | added | djechlin | It's an ambiguous parse. It's far too strong to say your preferred parse is ungrammatical. It originates because "Asian" "Canadian" etc. have noun or adjective uses. Other note I take some issue with the word "they" here. It's what caught on. These things are tweet hashtags nowadays so shorter is increasingly preferred. | |

| Mar 19, 2021 at 14:48 | comment | added | Lambie | "didn't care that it didn't make sense." They may not have realized it either in their haste to create the slogan. | |
| Mar 19, 2021 at 10:32 | comment | added | rjpond | I think "not grammatical" is putting it rather strongly. If I had been asked to come up with the wording, it would have been "stop anti-Asian hate", and I don't think anyone would have interpreted that as "stop hate against anti-Asians" (if they now do so, I think it's because they've seen the other version first). However, how would you respond to the point that "Armenian genocide" means the genocide of the Armenians, not by the Armenians? | |
