If you do a racist action, you're a racist. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Cethin@lemmy.zip -2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Sure, but they'd do it with Russia too, and they're "the same race". It has nothing to do with race. Race is just a convenient way to criticize the US here without examining the actual issue. China has their own ecosystem for fucks sake. If any nation is being racist it's them, but it's not because of race that they have that. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] frauddogg@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) China has their own ecosystem for fucks sake. If any nation is being racist it’s them "WAH THEY WON'T LET US PILLAGE THEIR ECONOMY THE WAY WE PILLAGED AFRICA" do you fucking hear yourself lmfao. You fixate on this "they're not in our ecosystem" horseshit and it's really just starting to sound like you're mad you don't get to consoom their produce too, mad that your straw just can't reach far enough into their milkshake for you to Daniel Day-Lewis it. And before you try to get cute about me "debating", nope, now I'm just dragging you for filth due to your absolute blatancy. Your words are hot air and confident ignorance; there's nothing worth debating in you. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Cethin@lemmy.zip -1 points 2 years ago I'm not complaining about them having their ecosystem. I'm pointing out that they do, and they enforce it. Any complaint about the US doing the same should be met with equal criticism of China doing the same thing except even harsher. I don't really care that they have that, but I also don't care that the US is forcing this. You people who came here are the ones saying it's wrong, but it's wrong because it's the US and China is fine. permalink fedilink source parent
