It's not my government, and neither is Russia, but you aren't fooling anyone by disparaging someone by identifying them as living in China (or Russia, since the EU recently decided again that it's Not White Enough).
I didn't disparage anyone for living anywhere! You fucks keep putting words in my mouth. I'm disparaging shitty troll farmers for getting paid by their shitty governments for trying to derail shit everywhere else in the world. Rub your two neurons together and maybe you can comprehend what I keep saying over and over again in other posts.
Your comments elsewhere say the quiet part a little louder, like the bit about "potato vodka". Do you think I've never seen a motte-and-bailey argument before? It's clear what you mean when you use a term like "second world" as a pejorative.
Gaslighting is when someone disagrees with you
I mean, America is also majority white. If you made quips about curry when discussing someone that you allege to be stationed in India, I think you can tell that that would be called racist. Same if you talked about a Chinese national eating rice noodles or dumplings or take your pick. You are adding in elements of racial coding that are unnecessary and it doesn't look like an accident.
