Not that i would equate the two, but we should all be aware of how meaningless "they use it themselves" is from the n-word. Every time i hear a white guy say "blasian" anywhere on social media its when they talk about how hot a woman is and how its "the best mix". I know its also used completely innocently, but thats just what my experience with hearing it is.

    Everything is a package

    I mean, pretty much. Or rather, everything is in a package. Back in the old days they were called source distributions or .tar.gzs and you compiled everything yourself. Gentoo, for example, still does everything that way, but uses the name 'package' anyway.

    The coreutils package, or something like it, contains multiple commands that a bare bones, command-line-only system would need, but some things are built into the shells. e.g. cd is always shell-based. echo may or may not be. ls (dir) is in coreutils.

    There are also things like busybox that, in a single executable from a single package, contains a stripped-down version of everything in coreutils, a shell and a handful of other things too.

    Westernised Asian, mostly used to describe mixed people (East Asian and European), but I have also heard it being used to describe Asians (mixed or otherwise) who grew up in a western culture (at least it's common in Hong Kong).

    It's sometimes used for people who are proud of their heritage / background, but it is unfortunately also often used in a negative sense by bad people.

    I am not too big of a fan of the term, it's a bit silly and too generalised. Somebody who is part Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, etc. will all have different cultures, experiences, and traditions! It also doesn't help that it's another term that generalises "Asians" as specifically meaning just East Asian people. However, some people are perfectly fine with the term, and that's ok too!
