** In the rest of the world, "Bantu" refers to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bantu_peoples a collection of ethnic groups]] who speak [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bantu_languages a family of related languages]] spoken by a majority of the population in southern, central, and much of eastern Africa. In South Africa talking about Bantu languages is acceptable, but referring to ''people'' as "Bantu" has pejorative connotations because the apartheid regime used that term to refer to Black South Africans. It doesn't help that Black people were forced to live in segregated "homelands" (similar to UsefulNotes/{{North America}}n [[NeglectedRez reservations/reserves]][[note]]the former term is used in the UsefulNotes/UnitedStates, the latter in UsefulNotes/{{Canada}}[[/note]] for that continent's own Indigenous peoples) that were internationally nicknamed [[{{Countrystan}} Bantustans]].

Added DiffLines:

** When ''VideoGame/MarioKart8Deluxe'' was originally released, whenever the Inkling girl passed another racer, she'd taunt them by placing her hand on a flexed bicep, pumping her first into the air. While this gesture doesn't have much significance in Japan or the US, [[https://www.polygon.com/2017/5/18/15658198/mario-kart-8-deluxe-version-1-1-patch-notes-inkling-girl-animation it essentially means "up yours" in specific parts of Europe and Latin America]], so the gesture was patched out shortly after release.
