Ah that yellow peril coming out of the woodwork again.
- DangitBobby 7y agoAren't most Chinese citizens actually backing the Chinese government on this?
- thereare5lights 7y agoThe post references Cupertino, not Shanghai. Or are you trying to say something else?
- DangitBobby 7y agoI'm saying that it's not even remotely far-fetched to believe that Chinese Americans living in Cupertino would hold beliefs similar to those who live where they are (or were) from. Implying it's racism is frankly childish.

- thereare5lights 7y agoWhy? Because they're the same ethnicity? You think they think they same way because they're the same ethnicity. To object to calling that racism is frankly childish. That kind of thinking is the how we got Executive Order 9066 despite an investigation finding no evidence of any fifth column among Japanese Americans. The fact that there are people that think like you do strengthens my belief that another Executive Order 9066 is nowhere near as impossible as people would like to believe.
- DangitBobby 7y agoIt's not because they are the same ethnicity... It's because they were potentially brought up with very similar values and culture, and that shared background can manifest itself as similar attitudes to the behavior of their government. Notice how this is not even remotely controversial or racial, but because you have already decided what to believe on this politically loaded topic, you will blow your whistle and signal your virtues. The Chinese government is known to own the media and pump worldwide propaganda to its citizens and ex-citizens living abroad. These are facts, and they are only related to race because they apply to Chinese people. Please stop with the bullshit. It's embarrassing.
