- arjie 12y agoProbably just because there are a lot of Chinese people. Every time a story singles out particular 'identity', people feel the need to defend that identity. I remember when this article[1] was linked on HN a whole bunch of people felt the need to point out that chimps are not smarter than Britons. Of course a similar effect occurs when people who identify with other things think they are under attack. [1]: http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-24836917 http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-24836917
