I dont get it. What is racist about it?

• lvturner 5y ago
  I will take your question in good faith and assume that you merely missed it due to the way the original statement was worded. It explicitly states that everyone "over the border" (in Mainland China) are the polar opposite of "genuinely lovely people" which would be to say that every single person living in/from Mainland China is a horrible/nasty person. This is quite clearly both ignorant and racist - also, provably false.

    Ignorant, yes. Provably false, yes. Bigoted, yes. Racist, no. Both "over the border" and "genuinely lovely" groups are the same race.

      > are the same race. Depends on who you ask. Race is a purely human construct (and a very nebulous one). The classification of 'human race' is entirely made up and has no biological science to it. Ethnolinguistically Cantonese is very different from Mandrain. And culturally (in terms of diet, customs) Cantonese is also quite distinct from say Wu (Shanghai), etc.
