I studied chinese so hard after 2018 💀

There's almost 0 state efforts to preserve the cultural identities of immigrants of any kind

When people celebrate "diversity" in the West, it's just eating shawarma, drinking boba, watching Anime, listening to kpop, and eating at an Ethiopian restaurant. Pure commodification and consumerism masquerading as celebration and promotion of foreign cultures

Or you'll have people fetishizing about spicy latinas, lightskins, and Asians like they're fucking Pokemon cards

    I'm still fairly fluent in Chinese but there's definitely been linguistic attrition for more involved and nuanced topics. I'd go to a Confucius institute to try and learn but the way things are going they'll probably be denounced as sissypee spy stations and shut down soon.

        https://www.rubio.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/2023/6/rubio-introduces-bill-to-continue-deterring-threat-of-confucius-institutes

        JUN 07 2023

        U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) introduced the No Federal Funding for CCP Spying and Persuasion In Education Settings (SPIES) Act. The bill closes the CIWP loophole and prohibits any DoD funding for colleges that host Confucius Institutes

        “U.S. taxpayer dollars should not be benefiting the CCP and its murderous regime. Confucius Institutes, which are directed by Beijing, have plagued college campuses in our nation with the CCP’s propaganda.” - Senator Rubio

        Congressman Jim Banks (R-IN) introduced companion legislation in the House of Representatives.

        "There is no situation where we should make it easier for the Chinese Communist Party to spy on our universities. Safeguarding American research [...] is common sense and vital to our national security.” - Congressman Banks

            Idk I think they just give colleges a lot of science/research funds and try to push “defense-applied research” onto schools (especially ivy leagues which they seem to fund pretty heavily)
