The rules are simple:

- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.

There's a far cry between me criticising the CCP for things like the Uyghur genocide and other political issues, and your made up strawman argument. Anybody should be free to criticise any country in the first place, without having to worry about skin colour.
Keep saying it, you're only offending reactionaries and tankies - and it is not even their goal to be happy, as near as anyone can tell.
Oh yeah, I've been banned multiple times for being a Chinese who's racist against China. I plan to keep being racist by that particular definition.
I know someone who said that America is racist for siding with Taiwan on things and then I pointed out to them that (except a minority) Taiwan is predominantly Han Chinese
Both of you are right.
Nah fam only one of them is really, the other one is your standard racist disguised as a progressive
Yes, but if it's trolling don't engage. If it's genuine, you have to acknowledge when they are correct. You don't get a free pass to be racist, even against your own kind, just because you're a minority. However, you are better positioned to be critical of a particular minority if you are part of it.
You implied that being Chinese is a counterpoint to people calling you racist. That's what I was commenting on.
Whether what you said to those people was racist or not is out of the point. I was criticizing the fact that you consider that being Chinese would prevent you from being racist, which is absurd.
I think pretty much everybody can agree that being of a certain race gives you a lot more leeway and defense against accusations of racism against that race. It would take an extremely radical statement to go beyond that.
... at least, that's what my black friends tell me when they call each other 'nigga'.
Most americans maybe, I've never seen this idea anywhere else.
And funnily enough people don't have the same logic with, for example, sexism.
