Jesus christ, what the fuck is this question? This is essentially a thinnly-veiled “Which nationality are the worst people?”, thinnly-veiled racism.
Literally hald of them are like, “Chinese people baaad”, wtf. And also 1/3 of them are “Indians baaad”.
I’m Chinese American which is why that thread made me feel disgusted at reddit.
Like holy shit, I’m not overreacting right? I’m pretty sure c/[email protected] would never allow this troll question.
Because when a country’s demonym is also an ethnicity (Such as India --> Indian, China --> Chinese, Japan --> Japanese, South Korea --> Korean), people usually conflate the two.
For example, my nationality is American, but if I visit somewhere in like, idk, Europe, they wouldn’t care about nationality, I would be “that Chinese guy”, basically lumping me in with the sterotypes they come up with.
There are many ethnicities in India and China. Your equivalence breaks down, because then both an uyghur, tibetian and han chinese would be the same.
I get it, if we are talking about outsider’s perspective, I for example can’t tell apart a typical chinese from a typical korean or japanese person. Due to the lack of exposure, my brain only registers them as “asian person”. Maybe the language can give a clue, but that’s debateable.
Still, the broader the brushes we paint with, the more erroneous generalization are.
