    You can say racist stuff about a group whether you belong in the group or not.

    What is this absurdity of thinking that you get a free pass to say crap?

    “Black people should have remained slaves. But it’s ok, I can say it because I’m black”

    Nonsense.

      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

        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.

        This is just completely tone-deaf bullshit. Equating modern working conditions (in western countries) to slavery is like comparing a contemporary Scandinavian prison to Auschwitz. It’s by very far not the same.
