      She got applaud because she stick it to the American that calling her traitor, smearing her, and call her all kind of name, which also harm a lot of Chinese diaspora and asian american.

      I'm poor as fuck and just got back from snowboarding. A customer at work is going to sell me some top end gear for a couple hundred bucks and I'm gonna be going back with my cousins as an annual affair. I think she's addressing people talking shit about china. idk maybe you're right but idgaf after all the racist bullshit I heard while watching the events.

        Lol this really hits. I exceeded my olympics worth of psychic damage from listening to NBC's coverage of the opening ceremonies, so I think I've got about 100GB of olympics footage on my hard drive from just torrenting the fuck out of non-American coverage of it

        You know, setting up a hexbear private tracker would be pretty dope, I haven't had any free time lately but once I do maybe I'll look into getting a host for that set up so it's easier to share pirated shit

        If you take "uneducated" to mean uneducated about china, then the statement is fine. But if you take uneducated to actually just mean uneducated then it kinda becomes a dogwhistle for poors.

          Context matter, in this, obviously aim at all the peoples who call her traitor, and call China oppress state that don't allow peoples to access the internet.

      ??? this is a bizarre take. She's not telling the poors to fuck off, she's telling the people who go "oh man you're a traitor how dare you!!!" to cry about it. Context is important, the journalists asked "what do you have to say to your critics" and she replied "I don't really care about them, they're never going to win an Olympic medal and I'm just here to live my best life, I'm not going to waste my time trying to placate people who already hate me." Not sure how you got the idea that she's telling poor people to fuck off.

      If she's from an area with snowy hills/mountains, it's entirely feasible for her to be poor and be a skier. You are looking for something to get mad about.

          Sure, but on the other hand Dzerzhinsky's family were nobles and he grew up in their family estate.

          Not saying that Gu is gonna be a hero of the revolution or anything bug judging an 18 year old on their parents background is weak.

              I'm not saying she's the next coming of Dzerzhinsky, just that if we judge people based on their parents a lot of good leftists would fail.

              The real propaganda value is in having a concrete example of a genius Olympian actively choosing a Socialist country over the US. She could have gone anywhere but she went to China, that means something.

      you do realize as an asian-passing person (and even identifying) in America, she's probably getting an insane amount of racist comments right? her response needs to be taken in that context.
