Reply to comment by indian_mofo in Why didn't Japan excise Chinese characters from the Japanese language, when Japan hated China so much? by 3cana

To try and help you understand the downvotes (actually didn't downvote your comment myself)

  1. I don't think a huge proportion of the Arab-hating USA population would be particularly fussed over the distinction between Arabic and Hindu-Arabic, though you are right that there is a difference.

  2. Roman numerals for instance.

The analogy isn't perfect, granted, but it works, let's say enough, to discuss at least.
