    It’s a racist shitpost. Doing this to people you think are Chinese is totally not an acceptable thing to do at all. This is like a blatantly racist meme, regardless of your position on tankies, like they even made them type with broken English. The Chinese scammer that says “fuk you.”

    It also insinuates that Asian people are aligned politically with the country of their origin, which is like classic anti-Asian racism.

      Considering this was a scam text and the person what trying to steel money I think this is fair game. If the authorities are listening then they could block the number and it may interfere with other scams.

      Alright then. Fuck me, I guess.
      Just so you know, I have zero tolerance for racism online or offline. I’ve ended relationships because of stupid, racist jokes which are unfortunately really common in my country. I insult people to the extreme irl when making those jokes.
      But…I guess I was racist all along. I’m sorry.

        But also, I might recommend you to maybe not insult people to the extreme when defending someone from a racist remark. White people making a scene to prove that they’re not racist can be really embarrassing to everyone involved.

        The difference is between genuine protectiveness and trying to prove that you’re not racist, you shouldn’t be doing the latter.
