I’d honestly feel better to hear someone calling us dog eating chingchong than this tankie shit. At least they’re open about being racist and there’s some truth to it.

    Saying that a part of asian culture (which has existed long before the US) is to create the appearance of being caucasian is racist.

    and also the whole erasure of South Korea as an identity and culture

      Was the initial comment about that? There’s no context so I don’t even know what’s being discussed.

        It’s a common tankie talking point where they believe South Korea (and any country friendly with the US) is a US puppet, hence them saying “American enclave”

        So when they think of South Korea as a country, they often think of it as just the US. This is racist because it erases a country’s identity.

          OK, this makes sense. I’ve noticed this a lot with Ukraine where the interests of Ukrainian people are just completely ignored as if they’re completely irrelevant. A dangerous side effect of campism.
