I don’t think I personally would have removed this (I was thinking about it before the explanation was posted but decided against it after it was).
But I think the other mod who did had a point. Before removal that comment had -21 votes so it’s clear most people did not get or approve of the joke either.
While I don’t think it’s xenophobic, I do think it might encurage harmfull behavior (i.e. some edgy kid actually doing what the comment suggested). Combined with the poor reception of the joke I think the removal was justified. And even if it wasn’t it’s not nice to call the removing mod a bastard.
They have a thing called hand cheese in Germany. It’s a relatively hard and mild cheese with high protein and low fat, so it doesn’t melt easily and is good plain as a snack. Anyway, you’re not supposed to just eat it straight from your hand.

Eating customs are a hit different than just actually ingesting a bottle of laxative. Eating customs also aren’t stated on a product.
Whereas this is clearly labeled “magnesium citrate”. My point being that while some American kids might not pay attention to what it says on the label, it’d make sense that a foreign exchange student would read the label and know what magnesium citrate is, or at least realise it’s medicine of some sorts. Seeing as they’re students, in an exchange program, they probably know the language somewhat.
So I standby what I said.
Your example is more akin to eating pizza with a knife and fork in Italy rather than chugging a bottle of laxative by accident.

What the fuck
‘Twas a riff on this post from ages ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/forbiddensnacks/comments/fskkmc/caught_our_japanese_exchange_student_about_to/
Clearly I forgot that not everyone knows about an obscure post from 5 years ago, so they thought I was serious.
Idk what was said, but it must’ve been pretty good if a .world moderator removed it.
Boring bastards.

It was xenophobic and encouraged poisoning people.

Yikes. 😵💫
I think a foreign exchange student actually be less likely to drink it.

Signed- a dumb foreign exchange student.
