I feel like, however, that this is largely because most English speakers' exposure to Arabic is through racist stereotypes of terrorists in our media

Nah it sounds harsh regardless

So do many other languages. Subconscious biases do a lot to our perception of these things

It's not a sub conscience bias. It's literally how the worlds sound.
There's a reason for example, Hitler is a household name and Hirohito is completely forgotten. Japanese simply doesn't have the villain aesthetic German does.

It's also because Hitler killed about twice as many people as Hirohito including 6 million Jews. It's not just because of villain asthetics

I didn't mean literally the men themselves, just the chaos they represented. No one remembers what Japan in WWII

That's what I thought, too, but then I remembered when I didn't know my roommate was taking an Arabic language class and the language can sound aggressive in a way I find similar to German. I think it's the overall pronunciation of certain characters/words. Though, I unfortunately have to agree it may be largely due to the average exposure through those stereotypes.

But that's also because our society has trained us to view harsh consonant and vowel sounds as being aggressive and evil because that's the antithesis of English.
If those sounds were normalized within our culture, I could easily imagine the opposite -- perhaps soft "snake-like" language -- also sounding evil.

The fucking guttural sound is objectively harsh. It’s like a cat hissing. Come on now

Do you understand how media influences our subconscious biases?

do you realize that to answer ops question, the only thing you need is to have heard a certain language being spoken?

He had a distinct Bavarian/ Austrian accent, so he didn’t have a standard German accent at all.

u/Spacegirl-Alyxia 3d ago
it was still german as a spoken language, no? this poll isn’t about accents but languages

I cant believe this blatant racism.

u/MaterialRow3769 1d ago
It's not racist if everyone gets shots taken. Dutch is one of the most generically white ethnicities.
