CW for genocidal racism

"I can hardly believe that the South and North can live in peace unless we get rid of the Negroes. Certainly they cannot, if we don't get rid of the Negroes whom we have armed and disciplined and who have fought with us, I believe, to the amount of 150,000 men. I believe it would be better to export them all..."

I mean, the Han get a lot more privilege than many other minorities in the PRC (case in point: Uyghurs, Tibetans). Get real.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 9 points 10 hours ago

Both Uyghurs and Tibetans have minority protections and better representation in the NPC than Han Chinese, to the point that chuds in China complain about them being more privledged by the state than Han.

Get real

Saddm Huessein is building nukes, there is a white genocide in South Africa, Nicholas Maduro is the head of a cartel, and Iran blew up their own girl's school. Get real.

Jesus fucking Christ I was not ready for a concentrated dose of U.S. Republican conspiracies

[–] RiverRock@lemmy.ml 10 points 15 hours ago

Correct, all of those things are conspiracies, although the Iraq one was bipartisan. All conspiracy theories concocted to justify omnicidal US militarism, just like all the tired bullshit about evil China.

Could you name some privileges a Han Chinese person has that I don't?

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 18 points 17 hours ago

Do Han people in China have to listen to this lib shit? Real privilege if they don't.

A KGB spy and a CIA agent meet up in a bar for a friendly drink.

"I have to admit, I'm always so impressed by Soviet propaganda. You really know how to get people worked up," the CIA agent says.

"Thank you," the KGB says. "We do our best but truly, it's nothing compared to American propaganda. Your people believe everything your state media tells them."

The CIA agent drops his drink in shock and disgust. "Thank you friend, but you must be confused... There's no propaganda in America."
