> Have you considered how Chinese developers feel
English's not my first language, and I do not care about Chinese developers' feelings, nor do I expect you to care about mine. In fact I'd prefer it if you did not care about mine.
It's not _just_ that the Chinese people's alleged feelings is exploited by the Communist Party of China to justify their oppression of Tibetans or denying Taiwan their place among nations. It's that you seem to be making a lot of assumptions as to how other people "feel." Take a minute to consider how your attitude could be seen as patronizing.

- himinlomax 7y agoI'm not sure where you're going with that, but let me just point out that the fact that English is not my first language should give you a hint as to how little personal guilt I feel about the US's treatment of some of its citizens in centuries past.
