          Your phrasing is problematic. It's "Chinese person" not "Chinese" and there's no "average Chinese person" for the billion people who live there. Just say there's a lot of racist Chinese people.

                  Nobody is trying to dehumanize Americans and Americans don't mind being called Americans. People are trying to dehumanize Chinese people and 'a chinese', 'the blacks', 'the gays' etc have a historic use as an othering slur.

        Yeah this guy is suspect. He also made some joke about Joe Biden promising to pardon Bill Cosby to get the black vote. Like, poor taste dude.

        The bit where they bring up the Yellow Turban Rebellion is by far the worst part too. Imagine if I brought up some ancient Roman war crime in the same way.

          It's not hard to make a small edit to your comment and move on. Grow up. I condemned the Chinese Government a bunch of times today without using racist language. It's not hard.

              The "two things can be bad at once" argument is also applied to racist language. I'm a queer anarchist. The fact that you've double downed so hard on such a minor problematic mis-phrasing makes you look like a racist.

      didn’t handle the yellow turban rebellion well

      Wait, what lasting effects did an uprising like two thousand years ago had on Chinese culture?

          Afaik a lot of this is happening again in context to covid. Same as this: https://www.hrw.org/news/2020/05/05/china-covid-19-discrimination-against-africans .. the problem is, its hard to find a good source regarding the ssa region and i cant remember where i read about it.

      The situation in africa is also complicated regarding racism on the side of chinese workers, especially in the corona crisis, as black workers are seen as dirty and disease spreading and are treated accordingly. (There actually is a source for that, but i'll have to search for it again, as i didnt write it down)

      Edit: looks like the situation for all black people in china is like that: https://www.hrw.org/news/2020/05/05/china-covid-19-discrimination-against-africans

                do those diplomats take money from the US state department? have you looked at their connections to the US military industrial complex? the NGO complex?, etc etc

                  These diplomats also take money from chinese sources in a lot of cases, as china is way more economically active in the region, they wouldnt risk this economic support over mere american propaganda.

                  Edit: misread your message, i'll look into it..

                    But you dont really know do you? you just did a google search and found the first thing that confirmed your bias.

                    Doing a 5 minut google and taking the first link you find isn't serious research on a subject like china which is heavily propagandised in the west. The sheer scope of western propaganda apparatus eludes many people and its easy to get conned..

                    Edit: also just want to point out, im not saying theres no racism in China, most cultures have some element of racism in them, and even for nations that have begun socialist projects (or claim to depending on how you view china) it can take decades to erode the barrieres between people. My problem was purely your sourcing which revealed a lack of understanding about the foe you are up against (western hegemony and its virtue signaling)
