I mean that the fake texts with intentionally bad grammar stereotyping Chinese people acting like a racist charicature is similar to the racial charicatures of the 1800s, was that unclear?

I’m not sure how that has anything to do with anything I said.

Did you read that article, though? Did you notice how many UN member states actually recognize the Republic of China (Taiwan) as a country? Eleven.
For comparison, a lot of people in the United States and Europe would confidently tell you that Palestine is definitely not a country, but it is actually recognized as one by 157 of the 193 members of the UN.

But they didn’t have texts in the 1800s and that’s a political cartoon used to support the Chinese exclusionary act not anti scamming propaganda. I take it you’re a fan of Taiwan and its sovereignty then?

Yes, this is what makes it a joke. Because the only difference is the format that’s changed, while the racial sensibilities are about the same.
Chinese exclusionary act not anti scamming propaganda.
Hey now, if you get to define your racist charicature in your own terms, don’t you think you should let them do so to? I’m sure the Workingmen’s Party of California would say that it’s just “anti-capitalist” propaganda, the capitalists being the ones who let those damn Chinese come in and take out jobs.
Of course, it’s bullshit in both cases.

What does Taiwan have to do with anything?

There’s also the trope of Asian people being politically aligned with the country they (or their ancestors) came from and being eternally foreign.

.ml memes be like:
Uyghurs deserve to be genocided because terrorism.
Or
Ukraine are nazis and deserve to be genocided by Russia.
While somehow still saying democrats are the genociders.

Show us an example of someone saying anyone deserves to be genocided, then.
SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
How can I when you’re all genocide denialists?
How about you show me a .ml member defend Ukrainians or Uyghurs?
NonconfrontationaI@lemmy.ml 3 weeks ago
No, no, I mean actual proof. Like quote it and link it. Go ahead, should be super easy if it’s so prevalent and literally every single one of us do it.
