>> Do you think they think they're better than you?
That was not a rhetorical question.

True. There are different levels of racism. Some are enough to maintain an ethnicity, and others go way beyond that.
> "White nationalism" is not about superiority --- it is just a "preference" for oppressing others in order to achieve dominance. Thanks for the clarification/word play.
Are Chinese nationalists oppressive because they don't just open the borders? It's clear that you have a different standard for white people.
- jqpabc123 3y agoAre Chinese nationalists oppressive because they don't just open the borders? No. Simply closing their border is not oppressive but just like in the US, it is not enough to produce an ethnocentric society. It's clear that you have a different standard for white people. No, the standard is the same. And to illustrate, you've picked a nearly perfect analog for US "white nationalists" with the Han Chinese. What China is doing to the Uyghurs and what "white nationalists" in the US want for "non-whites" is oppression. This is the only way to achieve their ethnocentric objectives. In both cases, the objective is built around ethnic superiority and is equally racist and reprehensible and amoral and inhumane.

In that part of China, sure. > In both cases, the objective is built around ethnic superiority and is equally racist and reprehensible and amoral and inhumane. Name one ethnicity that couldn't be construed as such. Respecting the rights of individuals is not how ethnicities are constructed. Liberalism destroys ethnicities, yet liberals have decided not to be evenhanded about it because it's not politically expedient. That's how you produce more intense forms of racism.
