    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?”

        What do you mean? Taiwan is independent for all intents and purposes, but is not, nor if I’m not mistaken does it claim to be, formally an independent country. I acknowledge that reality, yes.

                So is Taiwan part of China or is it not? Because if they haven’t renounced their claims, then they’re still maintaining that they’re part of China, are they not?

                When was it that they formally declared independence btw? What date should I celebrate Taiwanese Independence Day?

                  You don’t need to declare independence to be independent. Only if you were dependent in the first place you claim independence.

                  ROC was never dependent on PRC. They just both claim the same territory. They are 2 independent countries that claim the same territory, just like both Israel and Palestine are 2 independent countries that claim the same territory.

                    Regardless, I agree with the traditional US stance of “strategic ambiguity” which does not formally recognize Taiwan as independent but treats it as being independent de facto. This stance has maintained peace for many decades with Taiwan being functionally independent, so I can see no reason why any reasonable person would want to deviate from that. So I will repeat my position that I consider Taiwan de facto independent, but not formally so.

                    The nuances of Taiwan’s geopolitical position have absolutely nothing to do with the racism in the meme that I’m criticizing.

        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.

              You dont understand jokes in general. The joke isnt about one fictional non descript chinese person. Its about china’s and the chinese peoples denial of taiwans statehood.

                  And its not a stereotype that chinese people dont accept taiwans statehood, it is their official position.

                  The text didnt even call them chinese, which would be typical of a racist joke. It just says “youre from china.”

                    I didn’t realize that Chinese people had an official position on anything. Does that include Chinese people living in Taiwan? Weird.

                    Also, the stereotype I object to is not “not accepting Taiwanese statehood” but “being so triggered at the mere mention of Taiwan that the drop everything else to say ‘fuk you.’”
