It's cultural appropriation at worst. It's absurd to call that racism and belittles what racism actually is. But racism is always the first go-to of those who cannot defend their views.

It would be like calling anyone who caricatures or uses the trope of the loud mouth, ignorant, 6 gun-toating, ten-gallon hat, wearing American as racist. Is it confrontational or antagonistic? Absolutely. Racist? Not even. Do you want to know what is actually racist? White washing or apologizing for white supremacy or han supremacy. I support the KKK and the CCP equally. Not at all.

You're doing worse than excusing racist speech. Similar to what Israel is doing to redefine anti-Zionism to antisemitism. Muddying the waters and making the terms meaningless. Any time, no matter the civility of the critique regarding China. Racism and sinophobia gets shouted as a blanket get out of jail free card. And as someone who has an appreciation for China's deep cultural diversity and heritage. A love of the distinctly Chinese Hong Kong cinema and many of it's actors, producers and directors. 9 times out of 10 the accusation is often outright DARVO if not hyperbolic.

I agree their post was antagonistic and designed to provoke. But it was no more racist than the meme it was posted under.

And? I'm an anarchist. I disagree with most of the stuff our government does. Them recognizing a policy of a similar capitalist and fascistic group doesn't justify it to me. The American and Chinese people both need to rise up against the capitalist that seek to oppress and rule over us. Don't be a hypocrite.
