Hmm, all right. I think I’m criticizing the general politics of the region, rather than the individuals in the region. One might, for instance, hate the politics of just-pre-Nazi-Germany and say that Germans were anti-Semitic at the time. That would just be accurate. In the case of democracies, this link between state policy and the predominant views of the people resident there is tighter. I would imagine a smart kid could divorce himself from his fellow residents who have stupid policies. Certainly harsher anti-Chinese comments are common on HN without equal censure and many Chinese endure unharmed. However, it is your website and your rules and I think I can live without criticizing states here. So I’ll do that instead.
