“Wei Wu” has an avatar that looks like it was AI generated, not to mention they’re verified on twitter and they talk exactly like a western person doing a Chinese caricature. Seems fake too me.
Of course. It’s a bit like the “feminist” sockpuppet accounts that say absurd things to turn people against feminism.
I hate culture wars and disinformation.
Yeah, also Robyn with a “y” playing the part of an SJW getting smacked down really feels like angry grandpa fantasy to me
Explain how you think Robyn is getting “smacked down”
Probably bad phrasing on my part, I don’t agree with what I’m seeing as the underlying message of this meme but the way it’s structured makes Robyn the intended butt of the punchline imo
Yeah, this feels like an op to me, too. I’ve seen a LOT of negative stuff about China over the past 72 hours or so. Like suspiciously boosted on Reddit (mostly) and Lemmy (less so). No proof, but anecdotally, it seems like much more than normal, and current events make it extra sus.
I’m going to travel china for it’s history anyway fuck western propaganda
Unironically/sadly they mostly purged them during ‘Cultural Revolution’
china
which one?
Now just an ai avatar, but a really bad one if you zoom in on it
Lol a whole lot of sheltered neoliberals about to learn that racism isn’t a white-only hobby.
Who the fuck thinks like that lol Asians can be insanely racist
People with no experience of other cultures
It’s funny, the tankies and neoliberals assumed that because their country was terrible, other people’s were automatically good.
Not really, they bitch and moan constantly and want to end all kapitalism. Sod off, were fine in europe.
We’re fine in Europe!?
i think they meant relatively
Ukraine: “This is fine!”
Speaking as a leftist or just an ignorant gross generalization?
Definitely speaking as a Leftist.
Just because America sucks and China is an enemy of America, does not mean that China does not suck.
Sometimes the enemy of your enemy is… a complete braying jackass.
I’ve been thrown off by the grouping of neolibs with tankies. Carry on, Comrade!😉
I shall.
You know the old saying, jokers to the right of me (Neolibs), clowns to the left (Tankies), and here I am stuck in the middle with you my most based comrade.
I would also like to point out I’m a leftist as well.
Russians in mp games openly have every second word be a slur when they are even slightly inconvenienced. They don’t even get banned for it since its not racist or something.
🤤
For better or worse, it’s going both ways and with both genders. Equal opportunity thirst trapping!
ayo i follow her on insta, she’s an awesome 母
What is her insta pls
@gymcatx
Nah, rednote is no less horny than tiktok was, and half the horny content/comments are from chinese IPs.
Did people really think they’d be different?
Yes, a lot of the news articles were just straight up lying about what rednote allowed, claiming LGBT+ and horny content was not allowed.
Meanwhile my FYP be like
spoiler
They’re struggling to moderate it right now, so you can’t really say what their content policy is from what they’re doing right now, especially with foreign content. Longtime Chinese users might know
That is true, there’s a lot of stuff that is obviously against the rules, but a lot of the users on my FYP are longtime chinese users with older posts of similar content.
I for one welcome some healthy pervert and slut energy over racist energy.
Honestly, fair
It’s totally cool to be racist, but perverse and sluty behavior is a serious crime. Just think of all the harm sluts cause
True sluts don’t have the moral fortitude to refuse sex to the ‘wrong’ race. They kind of are in opposition to one another. Lol
please be /s or else (╥﹏╥)
I can excuse racism but I draw the line at pervert and slut behavior. /j
Your upvotes tell a different story
You can excuse racism?
/community
Love to see the lack of pussy footing. No bullshit just straight “nawh fuck that race”
I heard a story about an American trying to borrow a cigarette while in France and the guy said “I am how do you say … selfish”
True honesty
A pack cost over 10 €. Pay for yours.
That doesn’t feel that expensive, but I also don’t smoke. I guess if you are doing a pack a day it will be bleeding your wallet pretty good.
How do you “borrow” a cigarette?

I think Wei Wu is attracted to white perverted and slutty people.
I didn’t think about that! It could be a hate fetish, like all the Republicans who rage about immigrants and then when you point to their immigrant wife, they get real offended.
Why do people want to go where they aren’t welcome though? I know it’s downright American af, but still.
That’s the thing, every post on rednote like “do you guys want us here” has hundred of responses from chinese IPs like “Yeah, you guys are great”, the only criticism I see is that some influencer don’t like that the long-form videos they spend 8 hours a day making are getting out-competed by shitposts directly reposted from tiktok, sometimes without even a translation.
spoiler
Oh ok, they’re cool with it. The OP made it seem like they’re annoyed by it.
It’s probably mixed, and no real general consensus. I’m sure there are people welcoming Americans, I’m sure there are people annoyed by the new influx of people, but I’m sure most people don’t care at all or don’t even know Americans are moving to it.
don’t even know Americans are moving to it.
I assure you, it’s impossible to miss a million americans, and a bunch of countries that didn’t even ban tiktok showing up overnight.
The racist people are annoyed by it.
Chinese propaganda party… you won’t hear anything bad about China there… That people just believe this shit on Red… we will see consequences in near für anyway. People want ww3 so hard that’s just crazy. Like any trump supporter want that Russia get the power of Russmericans nukes.
Object lesson in how many commas Chinese uses.
Edit: I transcribed it, maybe not perfectly: As far as I can tell the translation is accurate, if a little flowery, but perhaps it reads like that in the original as well.
每个人中国小孩年少以李花的名字绍虚拟外国朋友写了十几年的信，介绍中国文化， 学校，我的假期，我的日常朋友生活，还会因为英语单词不会写，语法错误被我的老师骂，一直在从想到这一封封记录我年少人生的信许会得到回应，这些信许被沉默在人生的大海里面，放弃写信，想不起来，那年少遥远的声音竟然在这刻响起。

That quote was just beautiful. I really wish we could just share our experiences with those in other areas without any judgement, and just acknowledge our differences, and similarities as humans.

Idk, why DO you leave the house? We’ve made our opinions clear.
😕 be more creative with your insults
Stupid sexy Americans
It’s funny how people who believe in genetic superiority are usually the ugliest motherfuckers.
Also… Have they ever seen how gorgeous mixed people tend to be?
If mankind survives long enough we’ll eventually all have lovely olive skin and speak Esperanto.
Mi atendas tiun ĝojan tagon!
Weird.
Americans? I agree
I’m impressed that you managed to lift such a huge brush that you painted with.
By and large America is a nation of mutts, you know “melting pot” and all. Not that we don’t have issues (good lord there are issues), but personally the diversity is one of my favorite parts of living here.
The like… real actual Chinese people on RedNote speak far better than this, as a rule… And if they can’t, they use ChatGPT which unlike this shit doesn’t sound like a racist stereotype.
When Wei Wu says “I’m racist”, it’s true.
Because the person behind the account is a racist twerp perpetuating a stereotype.
Are white Americans going to experience racism online?
We already do just nowhere nearly as often as any other race
And as a white guy I usually sigh and think “they do be that way” because it’s usually pointing out a large group of actual shitty people who also happen to be white. It’s not like they are rare, lol.
I don’t see why it would be that much of a shock. Racism isn’t entirely the domain of white Americans. Ask a Japanese nationalist what he thinks of Koreans if you need evidence.
It is actually, haven’t you seen? Racism can ONLY be perpetrated by White. At least that’s what the internet told me.
The only people who say that shit are dumb teenagers who just discovered social justice yesterday. They’re hardly indicative of the Internet as a whole.
Well, you also hear it from people who don’t want to admit the US has an issue with systemic white supremacy.
Anyone who denies that is a deeply unserious person.
I wish that were true. I know too many people IRL that believe that and are old enough that they should know better.
The people that say this just happen to be the noisiest crowd.
It’s also what they seem to be teaching in college.
Which college, and which classes?
The idea stems from Critical Race Theory (CRT) as it attempts to understand and or explain societal power structures through racism.
CRT is taught in various college courses across many institutions in the United States. Here are some examples of colleges and universities that offer courses related to CRT:
- Harvard University:
- “Critical Race Theory” (Law School)
- “Race and Racism in America” (Sociology Department)
- University of California, Berkeley:
- “Introduction to Critical Race Theory” (Ethnic Studies Department)
- “Critical Race Theory and Education” (Graduate School of Education)
- New York University (NYU):
- “Critical Race Theory” (Law School)
- “Race and the Law” (Law School)
- University of Michigan:
- “Critical Race Theory” (Law School)
- “Introduction to Critical Race Theory” (Sociology Department)
- Stanford University:
- “Critical Race Theory” (Law School)
- “Race and Racism in America” (African and African American Studies Department)
- University of Texas at Austin:
- “Introduction to Critical Race Theory” (Sociology Department)
- “Critical Race Theory and Education” (College of Education)
- Yale University:
- “Critical Race Theory” (Law School)
- “Race and the Law” (Law School)
- University of Wisconsin-Madison:
- “Introduction to Critical Race Theory” (Sociology Department)
- “Critical Race Theory and Education” (School of Education)
- Columbia University:
- “Critical Race Theory” (Law School)
- “Race and Racism in America” (Sociology Department)
- University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA):
- “Introduction to Critical Race Theory” (Chicana and Chicano Studies Department)
- “Critical Race Theory and Education” (Graduate School of Education)
While it may be true that CRT and or courses built around CRT may not teach this specific detail explicitly it’s implicit and it’s even acknowledged and discussed in Education, even as just a “common misconception”. If you have a common misconception in education you have a failure to educate and people still walk out with the idea.
https://www.nas.org/blogs/article/where_did_we_get_the_idea_that_only_white_people_can_be_racist
Is it implicit? Or are you just searching for your strawman?
Because I’ve taken a similar course to one you listed, and it was never implicit…
I’ve taken classes like these too back in the 00’s, partner is younger with a masters, is a social worker who works for the government, and has been through more education than I have, and she has definitely been exposed to this idea in education. I just asked her and she confirmed she learned this in higher education. Who knows for sure without taking every class with every professor but I’ve provided material for you to read where people in academia admit that the idea is out there, in academic circles.
Some interpretations of CRT suggest that, within a white-dominated system, racism is primarily perpetrated by those with power and privilege, which are often associated with whiteness.
According to CRT, racism is not just about individual prejudices or biases but also about the systemic and institutionalized ways in which certain groups are marginalized and excluded. In this context, the theory suggests that people of color can also exhibit prejudiced attitudes or behaviors, but these actions do not have the same impact as those perpetrated by individuals with power and privilege.
See how simple it would be to conflate or for this fact to be implied, especially if not thuroughly dispelled?
Also, why are you so confrontational?
- Harvard University:
About to learn that some cultures have never even had to deal with it as a real possibility so there’s zero social stigma.
