>Whether we want to maintain this system today, is an open question. But without the West’s efforts to curtail such populist-based movements led by China, India and others, the domestic repression of minority groups is sure to continue and regional expansion is likely to occur. The threat to global peace and stability is much too great to ignore.
Sorry if I'm ignorant. But this paragraph seems insanely racist to me. Can someone explain why this might not be racist?
- catlover76 3y agoI don't see it as racist at all--the populist governments of China and India are, on the other hand, quite nakedly "racist" (putting in quotes because India's populism is more about religious bigotry than race, per se, although ethnicity and caste are also flash-points of discrimination there). The quote you pulled even alludes to this. If you can explain why you think it's racist, then maybe others can explain how it's not.
