Racism from Tankie Admin and future Lemmy Developer about how the opinion of certain ethnicities in China doesn't matter
For people who hate the West so much, they sure are overdosed on Western pop culture.
They complain about people accepting the western media narrative while uncritically swallowing whatever Xinhua wants them to believe.
America 200 years ago: Steal land from native peoples and then kill, sterilize and oppress them, putting their children in concentration camps where they’re forced to give up their religions, languages and cultures
Lemmy devs: THEY’RE STILL EVIL! FASCIST THIS FASCIST THAT!!! AAAAAAH I HATE MY COUNTRY SO MUCH WE ARE SO GENOCIDAL AND RACIST! HOW MANY RUSSIAN AND CHINESE DICKS SHOULD I SUCK TO ATONE FOR THIS?
China today: Steal land from native peoples and then kill, sterilize and oppress them, putting their children in concentration camps where they’re forced to give up their religions, languages and cultures
Lemmy devs: UNBELIEVABLY BASED!
oh they have a very effective method, it's called "nuhuh, china says that's not real so it's not real!"
Burgerland? Wow, this is just sad. That person probably doesn’t go outside often. Good thing that unlike the site that must not be named, this is FOSS so it’s a lot harder for them to ban the /c’s outside of ml and lemmygrad they disagree with unlike the tankie admins on that site.
The admins on Lemmygrad are also the admins on lemmy.ml -- Oh, they're also the Lemmy developers.
Gonna side with the tankies on this one, being called cracker has never offended me in any way, shape, or form. Now if OP is genuinely disregarding people's opinions for being white then yeah that's racist actually but I don't feel bad about cracker at all. I don't know any other white people who feel bad when we get called that, it's just not the same.
I'm not entirely offended by cracker either, but I also think it's stupid to hold people accountable for atrocities done centuries ago before electricity.
But yeah, the Admin is disregarding the opinion because they are a white migrant living in China.
I also think it’s stupid to hold people accountable for atrocities done centuries ago before electricity.
It's stupid to hold anyone accountable for the acts of their ancestors. I'm not sitting here half oppressing myself and half oppressor. But racist behavior and systems continue to this day, it's not just some relic of history.
I also think it’s stupid to hold people accountable for atrocities done centuries ago before electricity.
At the same time, many families got rich off of slave labour, and have passed that ill gained wealth down from generation to generation.
Just because you gave the car you stole away as a gift doesn't mean it ain't fucking stolen. It should be repossessed.
I used to watch the YouTuber in n question and they did used to be a really good view into China. However, I stopped watching after he moved to the US and started making classic "China bad" scare content. The only part of the OP that is questionable is the excessive use of cracker, which is a bit distasteful but nothing more.
I would also like to point out that "atrocities done centuries ago" does not apply to White South Africans. Apartheid was what, 40 years ago? Well within living memory.
You can be racist without the victim be offended. Doesn't happen often, but offense isn't a requirement.
Living in Appalachia - around here, 'cracker' may not be even near the equivalent of the n-word, but it's also definitely not a kind term.
Yeah I was gonna ammend that with "well that's probably because of the enormous amount of de jour privilege and honestly segregation that I've lived with because I've heard in some places people can actually be serious about it". Lemmygrad is for sure one of those strange places where it can be serious, wouldn't be surprised by black Isrealites being on there or something.
