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?
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.

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.

Thats why its a joke to us here in the states where the common sentiment is with the rebellious colony breaking away from its imperialist roots.
Id sooner block you than get in to a discussion about Palestine with you knowing I agree Palestine should have statehood from the onset.
