There’s a video documenting Chinese people being racist towards black people. I have yet to watch it beyond the first few seconds, which is a bad habit because I need to face these things if I’m to be a good comrade. No investigation, no right to speak. The replies contain horrified people of all colors, anecdotes of encountering racism, and right-wingers praising China, admitting unfamiliarity with their game or some shit. My first thought; China’s huge. There’s going to be racists. On the other hand, I was wondering if there was yet more to this than that.
I appreciate that, but I think I do. I need to be investigative. Too often our enemies dismiss our troves of evidence of US or Ukraine atrocities as ragebait, I don’t wish to be like them. And a big part of being a communist or activist, I think, is being able to handle discomfort.
