      I mentioned logograms specfically, but this made me racist toward Japanese people. So hey, congratulation, you now hate latinos.

        Excellent time for the Japanese to drop ideogram/logogram system and have an alphabet like a functional language.

        “All I said is that the Japanese do not have a functional language. I don’t understand where people think I was being derogatory about a specific race.”

          When you don’t know that Japanese has three writing systems and only one is logographic, you can indeed think I said that. My bad for not assuming the ignorance of the readers.
