From the perspective of Kia2, what is worse:
Insulting people based on their ethnic identity or to deny that their identity even exists?
Like say you insulted all chinese people versus saying that there is no such thing as a chinese person.
What is more hostile towards Chinese people from this communitys perspective?
Just looking at it from the perspective of a Chinese, the second statement is so patently ridiculous that he could not even take it seriously. And if he can't take it seriously, he will not be insulted by it.
But if he ought to take it seriously, because it was said with power and intention to make this belief widespread in China, would it then be worse than an insult against all chinese people?
Also why can't a black African be chinese just as much as any other chinese person? What if that black person was born in China? Wouldn't he be chinese then? Why would that be offensive to say at all?
Why would it be offensive to say that there is no such thing as chinese people? Everyone can be a chinese person?
And why would it be worse than saying an insult against all chinese people?
You're really trying to drag people into an argument that they're really not biting on. Give up.
