to call out a racial that is thrown around willy-nilly in Season Six.
“I’m from the US and we keep hearing this phrase being used in Season Six,” the user wrote, referring to the term “Chinese whispers” which is used to refer to information being passed on from one person to another, and often distorted along the way.
