I say anti-Asian because any vaguely asian looking person is automatically chinese now

Gonna be back in 50 years when the same people turn around and say they couldn't possibly have known what was coming

    They've almost dropped the "its the CCP not the Chinese people" line now. More and more reddit threads adopting the view of Chinese people as mindless sheep breathing in and shitting out CCP propaganda, incapable of feeling any empathy towards the 67 billion Ughyur Muslims.

      It's the western chauvinistic entitlement boiling over, almost half the country is frothing at the mouth

      On the contrary, I've seen a surprising amount of reddit comments calling out U.S. propaganda on China.

      Don't get me wrong, there's still far too much sinophobia and orientalism on there, but at least on the Xinjiang issue it seems to be trending in the right direction.

        That's a good sign I guess. Yellow Peril has spread so far I've been seeing apolitical friends and family posting "debt trap awareness" on their stories. You heard that right :agony-deep:

          The state department only has to get the ball rolling, after that the people indoctrinate themselves

            defenders of the racial hierarchy badly needed a narrative to explain why America is shitting the bed, and the government responded!

        Redditors love contrarianism, which occasionally creates good takes when the mainstream narrative is such horseshit.

      They're going masks off early even though they never wore the mask properly in the first place.

      Just like with COVID masks.
