I’m glad we could agree on the other stuff though. Common ground is important when having a respectful disagreement. I don’t “agree on the other stuff.” This is not a “respectful disagreement.” You are a racist. You acknowledged that China and Taiwan have a tumultuous past for some reason you think thats irrelevant to the joke about China and Taiwan having a tumultuous past. That’s not what the joke is about, at all. I swear, why do racists love playing coy like this so damn much? That last part about the stereotype being that Chinese people are dumb just isn’t a contemporary sentiment in any way. “What do you mean calling Mexicans lazy is a stereotype? Isn’t the actual stereotype that they take people’s jobs because they work hard?” If you keep playing dumb, people are going to think you’re not playing.
