Why do they consider racism, orientalism and lies disputed long ago “valid criticism”. Not even mentioning the lack of humility or a will to learn, just constant snarkiness, smugness and an unrelenting feeling of superiority. Just please, engage with us on equal terms and don’t be dismissive.

Edit: Don’t go into the comments if you value your day…

  • My best friend did education outside of China (her entire family has been living in US for a while but they keep declining her visa in spite of having no relatives anywhere else) and currently works in Europe. Two men from Poland kept harassing her at work with racists comments. No manager has ever done anything. They apparently won’t get their contracts prolonged which is nice but for fuck’s sake… She follows the Chinese community in the country she lives in and apparently racism got even worse as of late. I remember an ethnically Asian old lady got thrown from a high bridge into water a few years ago around there. My blood boils when I see sinophobes.

      Yeah Poland is mega racist and I hate having to ignore that shit sometimes due to managers also propagating racist stereotypes and using them for “jokes”. Oh and don’t let me forget the constant badmouthing behind people’s backs…

      I have an Indian friend, and when we were visiting a the city close to my home village he was getting looks, people were even looking behind themselves after we passed them. He felt uncomfortable to say the least.

      • Yea I had a Polish manager who literally banned an employee for making a communist joke (the employee wasn’t even a commie and it was one of the low hanging “our” type jokes). He’d go on an unironic rant how black history month is racist towards white people and how he was oppressed because they wrote black with uppercase and white with lowercase. Polish coworkers joked how a person’s gender cannot be told because they’re Chinese and then they concluded Chinese is a gender… I don’t like holding any grudges against groups but shit like this makes me wary.
