On the contrary, it is your response that verges on racism towards the Chinese. You completely deny that they have the intelligence and the mental ability to create a great nation on their own, that because of their backwardness they can not be trusted nor allowed to determine their own form of governance, but that they need the wisdom and guidance of the White West to tell them how to run their own country. Painting the Chinese as 'just another oligarchy' is to deny their entire thousands of years old history, culture and identity, dismissing it because it is not a superior 'White narrative'.
You are repeatedly putting words in my mouth that I did not say, deliberately changing my narrative with false claims to make your point. I never used the phrase 'common sense' nor did I ever claim that a homogeneous society needs to be of the same race or ethnicity. The predominance of Catholicism throughout Europe during the late Roman Empire led to a homogeneous society, while it governed over many ethnic groups and races. Catholicism itself is decidedly NOT democratic, but it can be claimed that the origins of the concept of Statehood and early democracy had its roots in the clash between two autocratic homogeneous religions during the Thirty Years War.
What in the literal fuck are you talking about. I was pointing this out for your benefit because you are basically race baiting with your bullshit. I am not playing a game of I am rubber and you are glue like a child that you seem to want to act like.
It is obvious you are some kind of simp for China. I greatly appreciate the Chinese people, but I will admit I don't care for their government. The fact that you can't separate a rural farmer from the political elite running their country shows you have exactly zero capability of judgement.
How dare you bring up Catholicism as a religion who united people under a homogeneous rule. Did you fucking miss the Spanish Inquisition and then the Pope laying the foundation for racism in Europe leading to the fucking slave trade.
Here is the definition of homogeneous.
"population where the majority of people share similar cultural, ethnic, linguistic, and religious backgrounds."
You can't even follow the definitions of a word in your twisted race baiting mind. Get the fuck out of here with your garbage.
I am talking about the blatant racism against ethnic Chinese that is so rampant in parts of Canada. Worse, about how it is commonly accepted without being confronted, and how it is cleverly masked as criticism of the regime when it is obviously directed at the Chinese as a race.
I fucking hate racists and I have no issue with the Chinese. In fact, I want the best for them. I am sorry to hear it is so bad in Canada for the Chinese. I live in a tourist town that gets visited by a lot of Chinese and I couldn't imagine being rude to them even if they were rude to me.
