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.
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.’”
I understand the joke, doesn’t make it any less racist.

Yes, I understand that. It’s about Chinese people in general.
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.”

Thats the joke… which mirrors china’s stance…
Yes, and I understand that joke. The issue I have is that the punchline is racism.
No, its political humor. Racists dont go out of their way to defend one race they dont like by putting down someone of the same race.
Well, yes. Racism is political and it’s racist humor, so by extension, also political humor, in a sense.
