Remove derogatory Singlish term 'sotong' from Oxford dictionary

The Issue

The term “sotong” uses seafood to tease blur people in Singapore.

It is highly disrespectful to tentacled marine life and if it stays in the dictionary, it will give the impression that it is an acceptable term.

It is actually insensitive and will hurt millions of blur citizens of all ages.

It will pollute the language learning of young generations of Singaporeans and turn them into sotong.
