      Students in China write this as a joke to piss of their "expat" immigrant teacher. Students in America actually do this.

    he's whining about Nanjing massacre memorial day, in China. A white person from the USA has NOTHING that they can compare this to. The best way to relate this to USA is if the native americans defeated colonialism and had a day to remember a specific siege/rape/massacre by an imperial power.

    USA has veterans day, memorial day. yet they complain when a country that was victim of genocide 70 years ago has a day of memorial and an actual reason why the kids would still be angry when their old colonists are now backed by the biggest empire in history

    thats not even mentioning korea

      Not remotely the same obviously, but I imagine the closest a mayonnaise american could get to understanding would be at a memorial for 9/11

    I'm not even that pro-China but this kind of stuff makes me hope China wins. They obviously educate their people better and have a sense of justice and historic memory that the west doesn't.

      china isn't really positioned to be the global hegemon like :amerikkka: is, and certainly not in the way neocons are afraid of, but if we have to have some hegemon, a chinese world sounds like it would be better than the western capitalist one even if they don't get any closer to pressing the communism button.

      This ^ . In context every single example in this post is understandable. At the same time there's no point in even assuming he's giving an accurate depiction of his students. I don't fucking trust anything some shithead expat says about Chinese people's . Not for one second . If your standing in the west and find any of this "objectionable" then check yourself.

      Pretty sure they're winding up their bourgeois teacher here.

      And to a first approximation every foriegner in China is a lumpen grifter, a Petty Bourgeois or one of the transitional strata like an engineering consultant who is "technically" employed by someone but is really a digital nomad there for cheap living.

      They arent talking about some poor BIPOC person in walmart.

      Probably a contextual thing. If you hear Cracker McBoomer whine about "foreigners" you can pretty much assume that they're talking about PoC as opposed to other cracker immigrants from Europe.

      In this case, I think most would assume that "foreigner" means white people rather than literally all foreigners in general.

      China has active and publicized exchange with much less developed states. I promise you that they don't mean that the Chinese industrial peasantry must overthrow the boot heel of Nepalese capital.

      Notice that they specifically identify China as the industrial proletariat. The world is not just industrial workers and bourgeois. They are clearly speaking in general terms with emphasis on the foreigners that are more present in China (the western bourgeois and its lackeys like this diarist).

    The best part was left out of the pictures: the student strike got the teacher booted from the school
