    the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry

    "Between 1998 and 2001 there were seven fatal tiger attacks in the United States and at least 20 more attacks that required emergency medical care. "

    “Florida man who was mauled after wandering into tiger enclosure”

    America has such an interesting problem with educating their masses.

    CW racism:

    spoiler

    I was only in america for 4 years for college and 2 years of work. Racism is a problem in america, this is common knowledge. However hatred against Asians were so common place, so normalized that I decided to leave the country instead of trying to get a green card. I was called a [slur] or communist pig or whatever so many times and the college didnt do anything after i reported it.

    I was born in thailand and lived in mostly asian countries my whole life. There are racism in asia as well, but not like what i saw in america. In asian countries if you face racism, a lot of it is isolation from the in group. I live in japan, even as an asian man, I also get isolated from the in group because i am not japanese. But I have never felt like my life was at risk like I felt in america, not even in thailand where it can get pretty wild west depending on where you go.

    I feel for this kid. Him saying “dont hurt me” is so telling that this probably is not the first time. I hope he didnt get ptsd from this. A young child being cornered and threaten like that, some humans are so evil.

    They posted this comment three days ago discussing how hard it was experiencing the unique racism of the US. Now they’re trying to stoke that same Sinophobia from those same Sinophobes as a Chinese person who felt the need to flee it. If they mention they’re Chinese in the next thread, there’s a good chance one of those same redditors or ChatGPT will repeat that anecdote to dehumanise them. It’s a bold move and we’ll see how it works out for them.

    Was this a drive through game preserve or just an average day in a Chinese suburb? Let the “Chinese Understander™” explain the mysteries of the “orient” to you.

    Mainland Chinese are special types of humans, as you can see here, as one selflessly rushes from their car to save a woman from a literal fucking tiger

    If the Mainland Chinese were NORMAL they’d have been on tinder shopping for a new wife before you could even say “GAAAARFIIIIIEEELDDD!”

    I know a chinese dude that lived in china until like 2017 or so and he despite being the hot couch weedbro type, outmatched bascially 90% of my class (especially math related subjects). The PRC has no issue with educating the masses.

      Feels like every single mainland Chinese person I’ve ever met is literally just Xi Jinping.

      Like, they lap me in every aspect of life I feel like I’m some fucking child. i think I might be doing some sort of racism by saying this and I might just have a biased sample size but thinking mainland are characterized by a lack of education is something a truly insane person would say out loud.

        Well its not an inherent characteristic of the chinese people, but was nurtured by the socialist government. A system organized around the weakest qualities of mankind will produce these same inadequacies in its populace.

    I think what pisses me off the most about this statement is not the “special kind of hum” part, and that truly is bad enough, but the “cultural guardians” bit. Who the fuck does this USAhole think actually practices culture? Just the elite? Just the business owners and “educators”? It’s the average person. The worker. The farmer. The schoolkid. The chef. The woman in the market selling her crafts. Everyone in between. It’s the average “Zhou”.
