Western chauvinism absolutely a subset of racism, but it's not quite the same, from the way I view it. Western chauvinists would never call me a removed, or tell me to go back to my country. However, they think their English only pasty white ass that has never stepped in China understands more about that country than I do, who has visited there (admittedly only for a short few vacations), who speaks passable Chinese, and who has family members living in China passing news over to me directly
It pisses me off when ppl try to distinguish "Western chauvinism" with just straight up racism. Its just racism with extra steps
