I don't know if im racist for thinking this?

Question

, i just can't help but be bitter towards china for always doing stupid sht that keeps feeding racists in america to dehumanize Asian americans in general. not only concerning the virus but also politics and regarding their manufactured products; it just feels like since they're always wiling to make a quick buck, that they don't care that their stuff is super low quality or knockoffs or cheap just overall. Because the majority of the world seems to associate Asians with chinese, this gives the impression that Asian products are just generally low quality which sucks especially as majority of korean and japanese products are high quality and very well manufactured. once again, Asian American kids are getting extremely bullied in school because they are thought to be spreaders of the disease that caused the global pandemic. it seems like no matter how much progress there is in working towards getting people to see that there are other Asians beside chinese and exploring different Asian cultures in general, china always does some shit that blows up on the news making the public hate them and we're back to square one in low key dehumanizing Asians in general. Im sure this doesn't matter for Asians living in asia but Asian americans have gone through a lot during the last couple of years. Most americans just worried about the virus, but Asian americans also had to worry about hate crimes, discrimination/racism, and etc., but tbh there's no way china even gives a single flying shit about Asian americans as im sure they don't give a sht even about their own citizens. I don't know if im just in a mood right now,.. everything just seems to suck and the country that i grew up in doesn't seem like a country that i belong in..

I am a Caucasian girl, as Caucasian as it gets and

Here’s one thing I want to share,

Chinese government is different from Chinese people and especially, you can’t blame Chinese Americans for spreading the virus.

If you want to blame someone, then blame people who keep spreading the virus every single day, regardless of their nationality.

I lived in China as the virus originated and not only I didn’t infect anyone but it’s been two years and I didn’t get infected as well. Because I’ve being acting safe, I didn’t want to be cause of someone’s death.

My lovely grandpa and uncle passed away of Covid and yes, I felt so angry I had the worst thoughts but I didn’t bully anyone because of that.

As a white girl who lived in China, I was so loved and respected there, I must admit, my negative thoughts quickly changed into the positive thoughts and I think Chinese people are really warm and kind.

I even got a Chinese boyfriend there, 187, muscular, hot guy with the best personality out of any men I’ve met, I fell for him really hard…

This is the most special person I’ve met and if anyone’s going to even try to make him feel bad because of his origin, I am going to track them down, skin that person in front of his whole family and torture him until he begs me to kill him. And yeah, I am going to enjoy it. Because no one ever can touch what or who I love.

So, be careful there young lady, racism is a dangerous thing, better be kind and loving to people, regardless of their skin color, the world is full with people who would only need a slight trigger to let their sleeping monster out 😂

I don't think it's the countries fault, like yeah they're shit at a lot of things but how people treat others is entirely their responsibility.

I noticed that but virus just increase it. I saw soldiers treating Japanese like that too in Japan. It is hard to admit it in capitalism. Japan can't not say anything after trade war.
communism is finding the way to solve it. They are practicing true democracy.
It is just hypocrite vs true scumbag , it will be solved soon or later. I know some white just want to be nice person feel uncomfortable she has this thought too but I think most of Asian did not see white actually. You let them see it not really pretty. There were a time people in each provinces could not see each other too. so there were different phenomenon.

Here's a better, and far more bitter, question: does it matter if it is? "Racist" doesn't mean "wrong". They usually overlap, but it's not inherent. Remember, though, that the Chinese government has far more power over what the people of the country say and do than most governments have over their people. And it's not like they have the power to change it. Consider well where to place your anger, but don't hold back from doing what's right for fear of being called names.

notwoke · Answer

your making much ado about nothing. your allowed to dislike bad actors. Do you feel racist for not going to the ghetto at 2 in the morning? "Asian American kids are getting extremely bullied in school because they are thought to be spreaders of the disease that caused the global pandemic." - not really, 99.9% of the time they are not. This is left wing victimization BS to stir up trouble and fool more people into voting demoncrat

Don't hate the people of China, just their government and government loyalist. Hate the ideology, not the people.

TallAnon · Answer

Yeah, it probably does mean that.
The overwhelming majority of Chinese people have nothing to do with any of that. So don't harbor bad feelings for the people themselves, just because they were born somewhere.

Yeah I know what you mean. I get that stuff with middle east terrorist news because I'm a brown half Mexican, even though they have nothing to do with each other. Ignorant people don't bother to be educated or corrected so I just respond back asking why they attacked Ukraine, since there's no difference between Russians and Americans they are both white

Am I racist for thinking Asian women are the sexiest? Or is it because I lived in Japan for 3 years as a baby?
