Oh yeah, I figure that after I posted the first time, so edited it to remove the "but" part.
Another thing that bugs me is this sort of racism. I heard this from a friend a few years back:
China can't make anything original, they can only imitate
I see nothing at all racist about this, that is the conclusion of an ignorant westerner tbqh. Absolutely haram
But ... go back a few decades and sustitude "Japan" in there, same quote.
China and Japan are not the same nor substitutes D:
For example, people say planes like the Chengdu J20 are "clones" of a number of American designs despite the size and lines of the fusilage, and shape of the wings etc, being completely different. e.g. the best comparison says the J20 is a knock off of the F22, but here's a picture. Spot the similarity if you can.
They're ... both planes. That's about it. Pretty much everything about the J20 is vastly different to even the closest American-made fighter they try and compare it to.
That's because you're talking to Americans who think Putin is advancing in the Korean peninsula.
J20 is stolen tech, from a country that is world leader in industrial espionage.
Oh yeah, they were also happy about this. Ask the Russians,
they don't like selling their jets except in bulk for obvious reasons.
In a few decades it will be "but Indians can't make anything original, they can only imitate ... American, Japan and Chinese products".
India is already a world leader in innovation and business, its IT and Pharmaceutical industries dominating the world already :

Yet China, with the largest population of any nation, with the highest average IQ of any nation, creates next to fuck all, innovates fuck all, earning a reputation of being a soulless wasteland compared to thunderstorms of creativity elsewhere. Why? The problem is China itself. Take the Chinese away from useless communists and they give you Hong Kong and Singapore, cities synonymous with being on the cutting edge vanguard, forging the modern world. To say nothing of Taiwan, which of course is #1. Of course the Chinese government took a look at Hong Kong and decided they needed to change that and make it just as shit as its own government. Simply put, China lacks sufficient legal protection and enforcement for inventors, there is nothing stopping anyone wealthier from copying your idea and running you into the dirt without a single penny of compensation, unless you grease the palms of some officials here and there. There are also issues in that China has with Empiricism and Teamwork based on Enlightenment ideals which of course
are a fucking western infection which must be excised.
COMMUNISM FFSOh and the USA is a piece of shit too to Chinese people. Americans have had a history of discriminating against Chinese and Japanese Americans
and decided that as progressives, they must continue this legacy. Probably doesn't help that in the creative arts, Americans take successful Chinese or Japanese films and replace all the actors with white and black Americans, giving them fuck all oscars or credit for their creativity in MS Western culture. In USA or China, Chinese innovate in spite of their shitty countries lol, unsurprising then that they have fuck all reputation for creativity. Any time people think of Chinese inventions they only think of ancient ones, because China's role as the forefront of the world's minds is ancient
But lemme get 2deep4u political commentary from Ameripol thred:
But yes, equality is about lifting everyone up to the same level, not flattening it out downwards, whenever possible.
And yes Asians are discriminated against because they a. do well enough on their own not to need or be considered deserving of protection(basically they aren't really considered people of color; for example, look at articles about silicon valley's lack of diversity and then you look and realize they're lumping asians and caucasians together for their definition of diversity), b. are often conservative, in older generations, which means they don't really form that much of voterbase for Democrats, and c. there's barely any of them compared to other minority groups which honestly is probably the biggest factor. 4.7% of the United States population is Asian, compared to 12.2% African American, and like one in six people in the US identifies as Hispanic or Latino.
So it is ok to be racist to Chinese and ensure they actively do worse in life, but don't ever call them uncreative? Does it not seem like the Americans' priority lies in covering up problems they are helping to cause, instead of actually solving them? It seems brutal that Americans punish them for succeeding, then criticize those who point out they are not succeeding? Tis' madness :z
Smh tbqh
only Trudeau is current year tolerant to Chinese, and they had to buy him with money xD
