@JorisMeys joking about china being an evil country while white, european nations are doing arguably worse shit than china is racism. like you don't need to invoke the "evil chinese commies" when you're talking about the united states of genocide.
just because you post for other people means nothing if this is how you're going to show your whole ass. racist sarcasm that furthers western sinophobic propaganda is still racist. like idk dude.
if you're fine with saying the same shit that some racist would, then fine. go off. but you're the one choosing to use language like racists and will likely get treated as such by other racialized people when you're acting like this.
you're an instructor, you do have systemic power. that you don't recognize that, on top of how you think casual racism is fine, truly makes me worry for your students.
i don't block ppl unless they do truly egregious shit. if you're willing to talk, so am i. i will get upset because racism has horrific consequences, no matter how "casual".
i don't want you to go into other interactions in the future and not have some idea that you may be causing harm.
racialized people don't deserve to deal with european racism constantly regardless of how normalized it is.
