McCarthyism is back, baby! This time with extra racism!

You wouldn't hire a Nazi would you? I'd like to screen my candidates against this list.

Why would cross checking a list of CCP members against employees be racism? I’m sure the CCP members take an oath of allegiance to either China or CCP or both.

  Wait - so never hire Americans?

    If you’re American it’s fine to hire Americans. If you aren’t then it might depend on the nature of the work. You think China lets Americans run the great firewall for example?

  Every foreign national has an oath of allegiance to their original country. Many foreign nationals also are affiliated to political parties. Why using a racist policy against Chinese?

    So by this logic, in regards affiliations with political parties: 1) Foreign countries should never hire Americans that have either voted for Republicans or Democrats? 2) Or to hire Americans that registered as either a Democrat or Republican? So, by this logic, if China took a countermeasure against this, then it would be illegal for the CEOs and corporate executives of American companies, to legally do business or transact in commerce in China. Because they would have likely voted for a political party, or have registered to be affiliated with a political party. This is a very slippery slope here.

    Most of those countries aren't actively embracing the enslavement and brainwashing of an entire ethnic group.

      We just bomb and murder them in response rather than making sure they're not extremists

    Most countries don't have an oath of allegiance, at least for the general populace. I think most of the world thinks of them as some weird third reich-esque thing.

Why is checking for CCP membership racist? Unless, CCP itself is racist ...

If you think there is more racism here than the era when McCarthy was the new hotness....
