I dunno, I think Chinese means Chinese. It sounds like you just throw this around as an epithet and it is sinophobic. Please do some reflection on whether you are okay with xenophobia.
Name one from this comment chain.
Such as?
I don't think it's good human behavior to use xenophobic rhetoric.
Your conflation of something being Chinese with something being bad is xenophobic regardless of whether you want to pretend you can redefine it to mean something it doesn't.
I actually haven't said anything like this. Please provide quotes with your claims because your recollection is incorrect.
Is that so? When can I expect to receive a check for my valiant effort in knowing installing a nuclear-capable missile is far more escalatory than the tiniest airspace toe dip of a flight path over ocean? Only the finest in professional propagandists could have such an opinion!
I never did that. You projected that, and just now, lied about it.
No, it can be understood from how you use the terms. You are adding "Chinese" as a bit of negative spice to your false claim that I am lying or spreading false propaganda. When challenged on this, you attempted to (incorrectly, this is not how language works) redefine "Chinese" to mean "CCP" and, per the typical crypto-sinophobic incantation, not the Chinese people. You then continued to interchangeably use Chinese and CCP as negative epithets.
Your attempt at redefinition actually just dug a new hole. You could just say, "oh wow I don't mean to suggest that, I will stop" instead of doubling down on treating Chinese like an insult.
Thank you for openly confirming your sinophobia.
We've reached, "I have black friends" levels of racist coping.
If I didn't want to say xenophobic things I would simply not use Chinese as a derogatory term and then launch into anti-China paranoia as a coping mechanism, inventing fealties from whole cloth.
I am here if you need any help understanding.
I'm always available if you would like to engage in good faith.
Happy to help you understand when you are ready
I guess you aren't going to stop replying in bad faith. I guess I will have to stop replying. The offer stands, however.
