While I as European fully agree with your point of view, I think that projecting our world perspective on other countries is just bs. Fight with racism is pure

Fight with racism is purely white peoples concept. Racism is a term usually doesn't even exist outside of Europe/North America. So we shouldn't try to put our mentality on top of China, as we are not the sole source of truth in this world.
- nickpeterson 7y agoI'll bite, if racism is so accepted in other places doesn't that just make them all wrong? Or are you contending that racism has value?
- throwas1984 7y agoI personally think that racism is very wrong and needs to be left in the past. It has no value in current world. But me, an European, saying to Chinese how they must live and behave - this is just neo colonialism. They should figure this out on their own.
- true_religion 7y agoI mean, they can figure this out on their own but in the meanwhile we don’t have to trade with them and give them money to essentially violate our ethics at arms length distance.
- acct1771 7y agoWhat makes our trade with them different than our trade with Saudi/Israel/etc?
- true_religion 7y agoNothing. Personally, I am against trade with Saudi Arabia. As for Israel, I am sympathetic to a small, democratic nation populated by the descendants of a western genocide, which is surrounded by hostile autocratic or theocratic neighbors. However that’s my opinion. If Israel’s existence is somehow against your ethics, I won’t force you to trade with them. I would just criticize you more directly.
- tootie 7y agoImposing our views is colonialism. Encouraging justice through soft power is laudable.
- vidoc 7y ago> I personally think that racism is very wrong The production of intelligence in this thread :)
- ksaj 7y agoWe don't have to fund it, though.
- stallmanite 7y agoThis is insane. Oppression and killing of one group by another is a problem I don’t care what your culture is.
