What was that stuff about being racist but instead of "race" saying "culture" so it's socially acceptable ?

Bonus from OP:

Not much we can do about that. It's just Chinese culture that hacking is a normal thing...their internet cafes literally comes pre-installed with hacks for online games because if the customers kept winning then they kept paying and renting PCs.

(no they don't, a couple years ago some twitter dipshit saw a computer in an internet cafe with a map tool that was approved by the game developer and thought it was a cheat)

    Idk... I’m friends with a foreign student from China and he basically told me you are expected to do anything to get ahead, including cheating. And that cheating doesn’t hold a very negative stigma :meow-bug:

      I had a lot of Chinese exchange students at my high school, and every year there would be a big crisis thing where freshmen would turn in the same paper or whatever, and think it was normal. Could have been selective reporting in the rumor mill, but it seemed like they just thought doing the assignment was the point of it all, or something.

      It seems like the US has pro-power brainworms where those people are forgiven for cheating, because as rich people they are just better than us and above our petty rules. Meanwhile poor people and minorities who cheat to survive are demonized. China might just not have that stratification.
