    Yea that one is pretty easy to connect the dots, I think it’s safe to say people from China, the most populous country on Earth, can be racist, just as any individual from any other country can be.

      Yeah, there’s a huge network of far-right media run by/targeting Chinese diaspora, some of which filters back into mainland China. It’s how BLM got roughly translated into “black people are expensive” in chinese media.

      But whether chinese people made that connection or not is irrelevent, this isn’t about chinese people on wechat, it’s about westerners on reddit who absolutely did make that connection.
