the tales of intra chinese racism even. “you can tell they’re from the north because they look like horses, and you can tell they’re from the south because they look like fish” says the central chinese normalman


like as far as I know, anti white racism in china isn’t really considered a bad thing. at the very least in the west a growing group of people consider racism bad

intra-asian racism is wild. everyone hates each other, but they agree to stop hating each other briefly to collaboratively hate the japanese

i'd say not inherently but regardless of the motivation there may be unshakable cultural baggage that goes along with the sentiment. so uh beware i guess?

depends on the aspect, why you dislike it and how (much) that affects you, and probably also depends on the culture too

e: more specifically, what you do as a result of the dislike

like i have a coworkers from the netherlands who argues with the people in the tax office and then complains about how backwards chinese people are re: the way the tax paperwork he was trying to fill out works ("they dont understand how this kind of thing should work"). knowing him he's probably spending hours telling them how taxes should work which is why it takes him hours to get anything done there and it takes me 10 minutes. that guy is being racist.

does the pejorative "nong" have any penetration into canadian or bc vernacular? my understanding is that it's more of a classist slur, as in it's what chinese people derogatively call rural people, kinda like "hick", so i wonder if it could actually cross the ocean in that way

(last i saw it's still considered straightup racist in the gbs thread)

One of my coworkers at UPMC was a Chinese national who had to flee the country.

Smart guy, blew everyone's mind by telling them all about his 'required socialist labor' when he was in college.

I really miss him and hope he's doing well.

My director is a Vietnamese guy from Cincinnati who is 100% from cincinnati and I'm imagining my chud coworkers at my last job pinning his idiosyncrasies on being asian when he was born in Cincinnati and will die in Cincinnati and sees himself as an Ohio man above all else

chinese racism seems to be more of the kind where you make unfounded assumptions and generalizations about people based on pure ignorance. not an active ignorance like chuds but ignorance in the sense that most of them have never even seen a foreign person irl and media and news is generally very inward focused

the generalizations can be positive too, like a lot of chinese people say “jews are all really smart and good at making money” or whatever
