Re: Lol at the anti-China sentiment on Facebook.Not strictly true. At ALL sports? Have they ever won the World cup, Wimbledon, Major Cricket Tournaments or Rugby? Nope. Chinese food, with the exception of dim sum, is average.(Original post by tazmaniac97)
The chinese are good at everything, it's a fact e.g. singing, cooking and all sports. -

Re: Lol at the anti-China sentiment on Facebook.Does it? Apart from the racism (which the West gives to everyone, other Asian countries, Africans, Latinos, Black people etc. etc.), I see very little abuse specifically about China. And even then, even if it's a misconception, it's often about the government itself and not Chinese people in general (who on this topic, are actually well known for vocal racism) - an authoritarian regime who deserves FAR more than a bit of anonymous "abuse" from people online (no doubt they just block it anyway!).(Original post by CB91)

Re: Lol at the anti-China sentiment on Facebook.While I agree that China has a much larger talent pool, and would be expected to win more medals, you're wrong to say it's not about hard work. . .(Original post by stefl14)
It's a common misconception that the Chinese are good at everything. Their olympic medals tally - while impressive - is to be expected given that they have 1.35bn people and invest massively in sport. Their athletes don't work harder than any other top athletes and they don't do better, there is just a larger talent pool combined with a decent amount of investment.
each and every medal they won was due to an athlete training for years to achieve it - to become the best in the world - medals aren't given out at random. Look at India - despite a population of over a billion, only got a silver and two bronzes. . . -

Re: Lol at the anti-China sentiment on Facebook.Yeah but I mean it's all unoriginal you know what I mean? The internet's a shield for racist keyboard warriors to go say lame ass racist ****. 'Chink' 'Gook' 'slant eyed yellow *******' its been done before so theres no originality there. Try harder. And it all comes down to being stupid I don't blame them. Just pure ignorance and its sad some people will go through this ignorance for the rest of their lives. Just uneucated
Ps: past few days there seem to be a select group people hatin on the Chinese on here. What a friendly place TSR isLast edited by drummer; 05-08-2012 at 09:44. -

Re: Lol at the anti-China sentiment on Facebook.I underestimated the amount of racist people in university education. The amount of ignorance was quite astonishing.(Original post by Tabris)
Should have seen Twitter after Japan made the appeal in the Men's gymnastics. There were dozens of people saying things like they should be "nuked again", "slant eyed *****", "time for another Earthquake", "they're all chinks" etc. things of that magnitude.
A fair amount of people in the UK are pretty racist, you shouldn't be surprised. More so when they think they're being shielded by the Internet. Though it boils down to outright ignorance more than anything else.
I'd say it was a significant minority who were being blatantly racist. -

Get over it. Name-calling on the Internet is hardly a physical attack.(Original post by drummer)

Re: Lol at the anti-China sentiment on Facebook.What? Not sure if trolling or ****ing idiot. You are officially a racist now that you approve of those terms. Unbelievable, get out of here(Original post by im so academic)

Re: Lol at the anti-China sentiment on Facebook.Actually I would. Name-calling over the Internet is not something to get your hands over and about with. No one has been hurt. Besides, if you don't like what people say over the Internet, close the tab and read something else.(Original post by Aaron_xyz)

If you dig deep enough, you can find pages of so-called "hurtful" descriptions of particular races - why would you read it if it makes you feel bad?
People here can speak whatever they like on the Internet. If you don't like it, don't read it.
I neither approve or disapprove of those terms. Personally I just don't give a ****. Move on. Also, see above^^^.(Original post by drummer)

This, and no one is making a big deal over it.(Original post by AWittierName)
Lol, the comments on facebook seem almost polite when you compare it to some of the stuff on youtube.
The things said were politically incorrect, but not racist.
