  So 1 and 2 you’re agreeing with me, nice.

  Absolutely not.

  You’re acting as though the prevailing stereotype about Chinese people is that they are stupid and thus would mispell a word. Isn’t the actual stereotype about Chinese people the exact opposite? You know, really smart and good at math being the widely recognized stereotype.

  You’re acting as though racist stereotypes have any degree of logical consistency whatsoever.

  We both know why “fuk” is spelt that way, rather than any of the other words that could’ve been misspelled. But you can play coy all you like, as racists often do.

    You have a false opinion on why it may be spelled that way. I’m glad we could agree on the other stuff though. Common ground is important when having a respectful disagreement. You acknowledged that China and Taiwan have a tumultuous past for some reason you think thats irrelevant to the joke about China and Taiwan having a tumultuous past. Also that China Post has been used for scams very frequently recently, as have other international people/entities. That last part about the stereotype being that Chinese people are dumb just isn’t a contemporary sentiment in any way. You’re reaching HARD.

      I don’t “agree on the other stuff.” This is not a “respectful disagreement.” You are a racist.

      You acknowledged that China and Taiwan have a tumultuous past for some reason you think thats irrelevant to the joke about China and Taiwan having a tumultuous past.

      That’s not what the joke is about, at all. I swear, why do racists love playing coy like this so damn much?

      That last part about the stereotype being that Chinese people are dumb just isn’t a contemporary sentiment in any way.

      “What do you mean calling Mexicans lazy is a stereotype? Isn’t the actual stereotype that they take people’s jobs because they work hard?”

      If you keep playing dumb, people are going to think you’re not playing.

        The only person whose words are making them look dumb here is you. I can’t believe you would start throwing out random racist stereotypes completely unrelated. You sound like a mouthpiece for Trump right now. Shameful display, I hope one day you outgrow these nasty ideas you have about people.
