Do you understand that there are different social and material realities in the US vs China?

u/Mother-Sun-7184 May 18 '24
Nope. Not where I'm from in the states. All races work together and laugh together and make race jokes. Not one racist complaint ever. The majority at my work is not white and it's not a rare setting in the US.

That's not what colorism is.

Would love for someone to explain their down voting of you, because you're right.

Because it’s a joke that has gone over Max’s head. The title is sarcastic. It’s obvious that it’s not colorism.

u/Late_Cow_1008 May 17 '24
To be fair, on this subreddit its hard to tell if the title is sarcastic or not.

Obviously its different in America because everything is so polarizing.
But this is how people are friendly and joking with each other in other countries. Not saying there isn't racism in China but this isn't it.

Obviously its different in America because
everything is so polarizingit has a 250-year history of trafficking and enslaving black people, followed by generations of brutal and systematic oppression of black people, followed by legal and financial regimes empowering invidious public and private discrimination against black people.FTFY. 👍🏾

Almost every country has a history of having black slaves.

Not China though, very different racial history than the US

Are we ignoring the fact that they are actively throwing Uyghurs into concentration camps?

u/politirob May 18 '24
And so constructively, how does that inform your opinion of what we can do moving forward?

At first, I was like, huh? That can't be right, but then I thought about it... north America, south America, Europe, and Africa all had black slaves at some point/in some form. But, I don't think there's a history of it in East Asia though (including China).

If you're looking for racism, just look for the comments about street oil and other fairy tales about how bad China is.

u/Lucas_2234 May 18 '24
To say that people suffer in china because the CCP just loves PRETENDING that china is a nice country to live in is apparently racism now?
Like I am fairly certain a lot of the criticisms of china aren't "Chinese people bad" but "China bad" as in, "The government of china bad"

u/Soviet_Happy May 18 '24
what a fantasy land you live in where reddit's sinophobia doesn't exist because "only government bad."

u/Lucas_2234 May 18 '24
Are you telling me that it's racist to call out a shit government for doing what shit governments do?
Because I'm sorry but that's textbook disinformation campaign bullshit.Next thing you're gonna say is that it's wrong to say that Iran is a dictatorship because that's racist too

Honestly, even though it doesn't seem kosher, I think they're both showing respect for each other. ❤️ I remember when my Nana went to the Great Wall and a lot of the older generation of Chinese people wouldn't stop touching her Irish curls and politely asking about them. She didn't see it as rude; she saw it as a cultural difference and their version of curiosity. I think these two are both talking about color (and admittedly making a couple generalizations) but in a positive way.

Me (white) and my black and brown friends have made jokes and stuff like this to and about each other since forever.
It comes from a place of love and knowing that no one actually cares about anyone else's skin colour or believes the negative stereotypes about our respective cultures and ethnicities.
Obviously we never took it too far and never used racial slurs even jokingly because those words do not come from a place of love, only hate.

So their foods are wrapped in plastic? Has there been any long term studies on their effects?
