    “Wei Wu” has an avatar that looks like it was AI generated, not to mention they’re verified on twitter and they talk exactly like a western person doing a Chinese caricature. Seems fake too me.

      Of course. It’s a bit like the “feminist” sockpuppet accounts that say absurd things to turn people against feminism.

      I hate culture wars and disinformation.

          Probably bad phrasing on my part, I don’t agree with what I’m seeing as the underlying message of this meme but the way it’s structured makes Robyn the intended butt of the punchline imo

      Yeah, this feels like an op to me, too. I’ve seen a LOT of negative stuff about China over the past 72 hours or so. Like suspiciously boosted on Reddit (mostly) and Lemmy (less so). No proof, but anecdotally, it seems like much more than normal, and current events make it extra sus.

    It’s totally cool to be racist, but perverse and sluty behavior is a serious crime. Just think of all the harm sluts cause

      It’s funny, the tankies and neoliberals assumed that because their country was terrible, other people’s were automatically good.

          Definitely speaking as a Leftist.

          Just because America sucks and China is an enemy of America, does not mean that China does not suck.

          Sometimes the enemy of your enemy is… a complete braying jackass.

      Russians in mp games openly have every second word be a slur when they are even slightly inconvenienced. They don’t even get banned for it since its not racist or something.

      I didn’t think about that! It could be a hate fetish, like all the Republicans who rage about immigrants and then when you point to their immigrant wife, they get real offended.

        And as a white guy I usually sigh and think “they do be that way” because it’s usually pointing out a large group of actual shitty people who also happen to be white. It’s not like they are rare, lol.

      I don’t see why it would be that much of a shock. Racism isn’t entirely the domain of white Americans. Ask a Japanese nationalist what he thinks of Koreans if you need evidence.

              The idea stems from Critical Race Theory (CRT) as it attempts to understand and or explain societal power structures through racism.

              CRT is taught in various college courses across many institutions in the United States. Here are some examples of colleges and universities that offer courses related to CRT:

              1. Harvard University:
                • “Critical Race Theory” (Law School)
                • “Race and Racism in America” (Sociology Department)
              2. University of California, Berkeley:
                • “Introduction to Critical Race Theory” (Ethnic Studies Department)
                • “Critical Race Theory and Education” (Graduate School of Education)
              3. New York University (NYU):
                • “Critical Race Theory” (Law School)
                • “Race and the Law” (Law School)
              4. University of Michigan:
                • “Critical Race Theory” (Law School)
                • “Introduction to Critical Race Theory” (Sociology Department)
              5. Stanford University:
                • “Critical Race Theory” (Law School)
                • “Race and Racism in America” (African and African American Studies Department)
              6. University of Texas at Austin:
                • “Introduction to Critical Race Theory” (Sociology Department)
                • “Critical Race Theory and Education” (College of Education)
              7. Yale University:
                • “Critical Race Theory” (Law School)
                • “Race and the Law” (Law School)
              8. University of Wisconsin-Madison:
                • “Introduction to Critical Race Theory” (Sociology Department)
                • “Critical Race Theory and Education” (School of Education)
              9. Columbia University:
                • “Critical Race Theory” (Law School)
                • “Race and Racism in America” (Sociology Department)
              10. University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA):
                • “Introduction to Critical Race Theory” (Chicana and Chicano Studies Department)
                • “Critical Race Theory and Education” (Graduate School of Education)

              While it may be true that CRT and or courses built around CRT may not teach this specific detail explicitly it’s implicit and it’s even acknowledged and discussed in Education, even as just a “common misconception”. If you have a common misconception in education you have a failure to educate and people still walk out with the idea.

                Is it implicit? Or are you just searching for your strawman?

                Because I’ve taken a similar course to one you listed, and it was never implicit…

                  I’ve taken classes like these too back in the 00’s, partner is younger with a masters, is a social worker who works for the government, and has been through more education than I have, and she has definitely been exposed to this idea in education. I just asked her and she confirmed she learned this in higher education. Who knows for sure without taking every class with every professor but I’ve provided material for you to read where people in academia admit that the idea is out there, in academic circles.

                  Some interpretations of CRT suggest that, within a white-dominated system, racism is primarily perpetrated by those with power and privilege, which are often associated with whiteness.

                  According to CRT, racism is not just about individual prejudices or biases but also about the systemic and institutionalized ways in which certain groups are marginalized and excluded. In this context, the theory suggests that people of color can also exhibit prejudiced attitudes or behaviors, but these actions do not have the same impact as those perpetrated by individuals with power and privilege.

                  See how simple it would be to conflate or for this fact to be implied, especially if not thuroughly dispelled?

                  Also, why are you so confrontational?

      About to learn that some cultures have never even had to deal with it as a real possibility so there’s zero social stigma.
