So 1 and 2 you’re agreeing with me, nice.
Absolutely not.
You’re acting as though the prevailing stereotype about Chinese people is that they are stupid and thus would mispell a word. Isn’t the actual stereotype about Chinese people the exact opposite? You know, really smart and good at math being the widely recognized stereotype.
You’re acting as though racist stereotypes have any degree of logical consistency whatsoever.
We both know why “fuk” is spelt that way, rather than any of the other words that could’ve been misspelled. But you can play coy all you like, as racists often do.

You have a false opinion on why it may be spelled that way. I’m glad we could agree on the other stuff though. Common ground is important when having a respectful disagreement. 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. Also that China Post has been used for scams very frequently recently, as have other international people/entities. That last part about the stereotype being that Chinese people are dumb just isn’t a contemporary sentiment in any way. You’re reaching HARD.
