    Those articles are archaic. Very strange to assume that everyone will have seen those and then use them as a vehicle of attack.

      So every China hater has watched Fu Manchu to preach racist stereotypes about Chinese and Asians? Because most of the racist jokes related to Chinese people in society are sourced from there.

          It came out in the early 20th century and is well known to those concerned. Your claim above that everyone needs to know the exact source of a particular racist narrative (Asiatic hordes here, for example) to perpetuate it in society is a falsehood. Society can carry these diseased narratives amongst themselves over years, decades and centuries.

              No, it’s extremely clear, and they’ve been more patient than you deserve in explaining it to you. You’re just being wilfully obtuse.

                Yes they think that I’m racist but don’t want to say it directly. When I ask why they think that, I’m told that it’s cultural. None of this is very convincing. Honestly wouldn’t it be easier to be direct instead of acting like the bad gf/bf who is mad at you for not divining what they that really wanted for their birthday?

                Looking through your 17 day comment history, you do seem to like being confrontational so I’m going to not pay too much attention.

                  No, they’re absolutely saying it directly. And no, they’re not saying “it’s cultural”

                  You’re just being deliberately obtuse.
