Major props to people posting these, and sharing to others that they've been lied to. Western powers want to instill a culture of fear about saying anything positive about China, like a psychological hurdle we have to jump over, because it could earn us the vitriol of friends and family.
Normalizing talking positively about China is honestly one of the important things that we can do right now.
My friend's girlfriend is Chinese and when I first met her we talked about China for a bit and she later told him that she wasn't used to people talking positively about China. He told me she sometimes lies about her ethnicity to avoid people being racist. made me want to punch a wall
My sister can pass for Japanese. She doesn't dissuade people from thinking this, as natives are not well loved where she lives. It's a hellhole.
(She also has taken a sharp turn towards fascism, and claims there's no racism there while simultaneously doing this... But that's another story).
There definitely could have been smog when she was growing up. Modern China is a society that is changing quickly.
good for her for challenging her own old views on China, and even other places she hasn't visited. You love to see it folks
Americans (and by extension, Canadians) are so racist they don't even realize how racist they are.
What separates a "racist" from a normal person is who they get angry at when you point it out.
Canadians are the most annoying (to me, since I live here) because they always spout how not racist Canada and Canadians are and get so stupefied when something super racist happens. Like, be fucking for real.
"But they're so polite"
Yes, polite racists, the worst kind.
Well put, they are the most insidious kind.
Well its us yanks who are racist, so clearly because your not Yankees your not racist
You cannot imagine how many times I see Canadians boast about how not racist Canada is compared to the US. You can always count on some Canadian harping on about how people should move here under a post about something bad happening in th US, its embarrassing.
The new policy of relaxing visa requirements for European states is just going to accelerate this.
Yeah, that was an amazing move by China.
It required a marriage. Ouch.
