It's considered super racist but also awkwardly old fashioned anyway even if it weren't just the former.

Ok, seriously. I did not talk about any ethnicity at all. How exactly can I made a racist statement here?

Or were you simply trying to say, for you the term "savage" is strongly connected to racists and therefore inappropriate to use?

Calling indigenous people "savage" in English is almost universally considered racist.

Well, or just in your bubble?

Besides, I called arbitary savage people savage. No concrete person that might feel insulted. And savage .. is not an insult in my bubble anyway btw.

Like you said, you're not a native English speaker.
