      I mean that the fake texts with intentionally bad spelling stereotyping Chinese people acting like a racist charicature is similar to the racial charicatures of the 1800s, was that unclear?

          I’m not sure how that has anything to do with anything I said.

          The texts werent even a character. Your claims of racial stereotyping are absurd.

          Lmao. Yes, the Chinese scammer breaking character at the mention of Taiwan to say “Fuk you,” definitely not a charicature or stereotype and it’s totally absurd to suggest it.

          What’s next? Just start making jokes like full on, “Me so horny, me love you long time?”

              No, it’s not about “China” not accepting Taiwan as a country, because “China” does not typically engage in text messages, seeing as it’s not a person.

              It’s about a stereotypical Chinese person acting and speaking in a way that the person who created the fake texts decided to make them. Which is, first trying to scam people, then being so triggered by the mention of Taiwan that they break character, then misspelling a word in a stereotypical way.

              Taiwan is just how you justify the rest of it to yourself.

        But they didn’t have texts in the 1800s and that’s a political cartoon used to support the Chinese exclusionary act. I think you may be confused. I take it you’re a fan of Taiwan and its sovereignty then?

          Yes, this is what makes it a joke. Because the only difference is the format that’s changed, while the racial sensibilities are about the same.

          Chinese exclusionary act not anti scamming propaganda.

          Hey now, if you get to define your racist charicature in your own terms, don’t you think you should let them do so to? I’m sure the Workingmen’s Party of California would say that it’s just “anti-capitalist” propaganda, the capitalists being the ones who let those damn Chinese come in and take our jobs.

          Of course, it’s bullshit in both cases.

          I take it you’re a fan of Taiwan and its sovereignty then?

          What does Taiwan have to do with anything?

                “charicature” isn’t a word. You’re looking for caricature and not only can you not spell it but you clearly don’t know what it means. You posted a racist caricature, I did not. Everything else you’ve said is also false. Me asking “what do you mean” is bait and I figured you’d say dumb enough shit to embarrass yourself/.ml. congratulations, ya dun it.

                  My mistake.

                  You’re looking for caricature and not only can you not spell it but you clearly don’t know what it means.

                  Well let’s see. Say you depict a Chinese person as

                  1. A scammer

                  2. Someone who gets so triggered at the mention of Taiwan that they drop everything else

                  3. Someone who spells “fuck” like “fuk”

                  I would say that that fits the definition pretty damn well.

                  Everything else you’ve said is also false

                  Ooh, neat line. Everything else you said is false too. Real time saver.

                    I mean yeah if you’re making your own definitions up for words you can call anything anything lmfao. China Post has been used in massive numbers to commit scams/fraud. The joke is rooted in reality because this has been happening recently. Anyone with a brain knows all Chinese people aren’t scammers. That same brain haver would recognize the silly aspect that they spell a word like parcel/arrive correctly then misspell fuck.
