My wife is Chinese so I lean more in the direction of hating Chinese people 😂 Just kidding I love her to bits.
I get it though… while I was living in China there were so many things I enjoyed about it that I didn’t often complain. But being back in Europe, the aggravation grows.
You can say hating the people for what their government does is stupid, but when the people stand so resolutely by their government the hatred goes in the same direction. Unless you’ve lived there, you won’t understand the long process of indoctrination so you won’t have sympathy for their unthinking obedience.
If you tell me the Pledge of Allegience that US kids say in school everyday is indoctrination, my gut reaction is “no, its normal and harmless” … so yeah, I appreciate your sentiment, but Americans can have sympathy for chinese obedience. If we choose to see it.

Canadians of Chinese descent aren’t “their” people. They are our people.
Sure, if they’re second generation it’s a different story
No, it isn’t. If they’ve got the citizenship, they are our people.
