Comment on Goteem

Regardless, I agree with the traditional US stance of “strategic ambiguity” which does not formally recognize Taiwan as independent but treats it as being independent de facto. This stance has maintained peace for decades with Taiwan being functionally independent, so I can see no reasonable reason to deviate from that. So I will repeat my position that I consider Taiwan de facto independent, but not formally so.

None of this has anything to do with the racism in the meme that I’m criticizing.

  You made a valid point. While both maintain that Taiwan is part of China, I suppose that doesn’t inherently preclude them both being independent countries. You’ve convinced me that that’s not a valid line of argument, so I’ve dropped it. You have scored a goal in the goalposts.
  
  I still don’t see what any of this has to do with the racist meme.

    They can’t answer you because 1) it is racist and they have no rebuttal, or 2) it is racist and they like it so they won’t care to give a rebuttal.

    It’s kind of shocking that it has so many upvotes. I guess I’m saving this one and adding it to my pile of, “Reasons why I don’t give a shit what the majority of people on here think.”
