You know, only now do you start having Muslim Americans really talk about how humiliating it was for them to have to swear that they don't support terrorism and Sharia Law before they were allowed to open the mouth and talk about their country and culture.
so is ops generalization of this forum. i wont deny that this forum has a racism problem against asia but people have plenty of reason to be shitting on china rite now with what they (the gov't) and their people have been doing lately around the world.
lmao, this is a take. Last i checked that questioning occurred literally after that same community proactively came forward immediately to speak out against radicals. China has a bit of an opposite problem, where the people literally can't for fear of retaliation.
This thread isn't about Era, unless you somehow think that Era members are going to threaten the other Era members of Chinese descent.
And is this wrong? Can we not be both against the CCP and worried for our safety? My Muslim friends didn't leave the house for a week after the Boston Marathon bombing. Should they not have worried?
Are they representative of all exchange students? Because you're being awfully discriminatory right now.
I get the issue with my gut reaction, I just find the premise a bit odd since I haven't seen any of the racism here that he's describing(it probably exists, maybe I'm just not sensitive enough to it). It reeked of conflation and accusation to deflect from China's issues. If I got that wrong I sincerely apologize.
Gotcha.
There are a shit ton of reasons to shout "Fuck China". The organ harvesting and concentration camps are sadly just another tick in checklist of China being evil.
Democracy? To not get swallowed up by a country that's committing cultural and actual genocide on Uighurs? Who's to say HKers won't be subjected to the same 50 years from now?
I have no problem with you calling out OP for his generalization, but what you did when you started in this conversation was make a vast generalization of a large group of people and that's not OK.
China definitely challenges Western hegemony, by trying to create their own. Both are shit ways to live, especially for a 3rd world countries that barely established shaky freedom from the metropoles not even a century ago.
I was not entirely serious, however i have a hard time giving the benefit of the doubt to people that spin being critical of a country or a government into racism and anti-<insert country> agenda.. (be it israel, turkey, russia.. or china)
no but whether you like it or not they represent your people. just like when i go to another country i represent america and all the stupid shit i do paints a picture of americans. want the image of chinese people to improve? discourage that shit and all the horrible things china is doing
To be fair, I think the OP is talking about diaspora, which would be people who aren't even Chinese citizens/born in china getting the backlash.
My dude, this thread is about the Chinese diaspora, we don't have any way to discourage what chinese people from China are doing...
You just accused a Canadian of dodging a question about "his country", aka mainland China.
Y'all, if there was ever any doubt about the OP's message, this guy right here is your validation of his fears.
While normally true, the Chinese people (I mean those living there, not ones who have fled) overwhelmingly vote in favor of the CCP.
