No we aren't. China, at any rate, isn't squeamish about using nationality and race of a person as one of the inputs into profiling them.
Until China is onboard with prohibiting race profiling, everyone else who doesn't do the same is at a distinct disadvantage.

This is a fair point, but misses my point. I meant the vast majority of people on this board aren't just racists who dislike certain races. So we don't have to divert all conversation to trying to prove it.
- izacus 3y agoI don't understand your point here, are you arguing that you want USA to mirror China as a society and government? You do know that living in China isn't great?
- lelanthran 3y ago> are you arguing that you want USA to mirror China as a society and government? It's truly confusing to me that you go to that conclusion out of what I wrote. I was simply pointing out that, no, we are not all on the same page, and those not on our page are simply going to be better at preventing industrial espionage.
