"DEI with Chinese Characteristics"

• carlosjobim 3y ago
  Your comment is down voted, while the comment above calling people of a certain race "monkeys" is upvoted. That says something about the crowd here. Reminds me of the images of George W Bush as a chimpanzee. Didn't see any more such images when he got his successor.

    Surely you know that the history of using "monkey" as an epithet is extremely charged? It is not a neutral term.

      Only regionally. In the global context, it's quite neutral.

      I look forward to the day where I can call a black man a monkey and it only be considered an insult instead of a racist insult.

      Why do you think I mentioned that hackers are upvoting a comment calling people of a certain skin color monkeys?

      People in Asia use "monkey" as a cutesy word for kids, to highlight that the kid is strong/healthy and can climb well.

    "DEI with Chinese characteristics" is hilarious, downvotes are probably just reflexive anti-politics.

    > the comment above calling people of a certain race "monkeys" is upvoted If you're referring to nradov's comment, 白猴子 (lit. "white monkey") is a commonly used term in China for a token Westerner.
