remember these people do things like this to destroy your life. Its never in good faith. In my whole life ive been a normie for 14 years and a leftist for 3 years and i've only called someone a racist 3 times. 2 of those times were not in front of them one of those times was legitimately racist and another one of those times was in jest and not serious. of course i regret all this because i no longer see racism as a bad thing.

But knowing what i do , this is why i am 100% certain that people like this chink , are not accusing others of racism or "cultural appropriation" in good faith but rather to dominate others and destroy their lives. He is nothing but an evil snake and a bully and should be treated as such

I've only encountered racists a handful of times in real life. Typically it almost makes more sense to simply call them bigots because they really only have one or two opinions about specific races or ethnic groups. Normally, that was the result of some negative experience or series of negative experiences. Strongest reaction I've had was from a Latino who started yelling about how much he hated Somalis because they always carried knives and stabbed people. This was because I told him a Somali had stabbed someone down the road. This is typically the norm with racial bigotry.

The only time where I find true-blood Racialism in real life, where racial bigotry is a ideological world view or narrative of history, is exclusively among the political Left, and is normally Black National Socialist nonsense espoused by self-hating whites, or utterly delusional middle-class blacks, typically in "educated" environments; and most recently in professional middle-managerial corporate settings because it's the same people saying the same shit, but at their job.

Outside of that, Racialism basically doesn't exist outside the internet.

You are wrong. Racism, or rather, in group preference, is the norm. Humans naturally divide themselves into their respective ethnic groups, uplift the in-group, and bias against the out-group. And the strongest and most obvious in-group is the biological. nuclear family —> extended family—> extended relatives —> people that look and act like me.

Everybody is inherintly “racist” and the only thing that’s changed in the last 50 years is they’ve convinced white people they’re bad for it while encouraging it in every other ethnic group.

Equality among races is a white concept. That standard exists nowhere outside of white countries.

You're redefining the word intentionally. You might as well say that children affiliating with their parents is racism. It isn't. You admit this yourself by confusing the word "race" with "ethnic group".

Even among people who have a strong ethnic preference, it certainly is not the case that it is you default to an ingroup preference of a race over ethnicity, and ethnicity over familiarity. An American white is not likely to affiliate with a non-English Russian who shares no religion, value set, language, or economic tie; compared to the American black neighbor he went to school with, speaks the same language, and has the same religion.

Racism is not that ethnic groups have an in-group preference, you are trying to re-define your way into winning an argument like a Leftist. It isn't even that racial groups have an in group preference.

Racism is where you have people who have specific hatred or fear of another race (or for some reason their own) as a racial collective.

like a Leftist

This is your biggest tell, btw.

How do you win an argument with a conservative? Call him a racist!

What if he doesn’t care about being called a racist? Call him a leftist.

Oh gee, oh no, I’m a leftist? I’m a socialist? I’d better cuck to gay civnat suicide!

Then admit that you are a socialist and that everything you think, do, say, plan, and act out is guaranteed to fail at the cost of everyone you claim to be helping.

Don't cry to me about being a socialist because you don't like the term. Actually fucking use the term that was invented for you and stop being a coward. "I'm a nationalist!" No, you're fucking not.

So your "it's culture" comment falls flat. Because yes that's the neo-lib conventional wisdom but historically it isn't accurate. And the times it HAS been accurate. It's been modern and exclusive to Whites.

I'm not even editorializing on this point. Conclude what you will.

So you think a Somalian being violent is an outlier because you personally only know of one incident, and then you projected your own ignorance unto someone who accurately - if accidentally - generalized Somalians.

People who regularly interact with large numbers of Somalians, and correctly label them as basically terrible, are racists?

The loser cuck responds to this bullshit with "Respect", in case you're wondering how Trudeau wins elections.

https://x.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1846411049911640395

This guy is wearing a suit, which was invented by white people. And a t-shirt, also invented by white people. He's appearing on a TV show even though TV was invented by a white man. He's using electricity, discovered by white people. He "appropriates" a million things every day.

Aluminum cans were also invented by a white man, so it's very insensitive and presumptuous for this Asian guy to express any opinion on the design of the can. He especially shouldn't be doing it on a video streaming over the internet, which was invented by white people.

Very true about the "respect" nonsense. They are still running apologetics for the lockdowns in Canada and way too many people accept it.

Also, tapioca was first cultivated by South American tribes and then spread through the world by White people's commercial routes.

I hope every cook who makes these teas pays proper, clearly visible respect to those two groups on every cup or can of their products. /s

Shit like this is why the Leftists are so fucking stupid. Here is a literal Capitalist (venture capital investor) by their own definition, espousing their Communist racial regulation mantras and they think they are the underdog in the system.

This guy actually said that he's in the position he's in specifically to racially discriminate for non-whites, and he's actually a bit pissed off that some mayo monkey had the caudacity to show up in front of him and ask for money, let alone ask for money which sells a product that his Race Communist / National Socialist rhetoric asserts is the sole property of the Chinese Volk forever and all time.

Wtf, Simu Liu is from Harbin, the very northeast part of China, and it is over 1000 miles away from Taiwan. How's boba even related to him? This is just cringe.

Technically, Shark Tank is America's version of Dragon's Den.

– Benevolentdictator 5 points 1 year ago +5 / -0

Yeah, I was going to comment on this as well.

This Canadian version of Shark Tank called Dragon's Den actually predates the American one by 3 years (began in 2006, itself is an international franchised concept coming out of Japan from 2001).

Two of the OG hosts on US Shark Tank, Kevin O'Leary and Robert Hrejavec, were directly lifted from the existing Canadian version.

You know what would be a hilarious move? Just do the same product, with a bunch of Asian looking art and lettering...as a secondary brand. Same product, different brand (but owned by the same people), different marketing. Just sell both. Keep the (apparently) successful current marketing, then also throw in some Asian stuff for people who like that. Then laugh all the way to the bank, while losers like this still cope and seethe.

Does this cunt, (who isn't even from Taiwan, but from Northern China) demand every box of pasta clearly display that food originates from Italian culture?

We all know he dosen't. We all know this bullshit is just rent-seeking and anti-White racism.

P.S. : I want a huge Québec flag on every box with poutine in it or I'm going to cry to the United Nation. /s

I wish this retard gets hit by a car with a huge sticker MADE IN CHINA on it.

The lady at the end only pushed-back so far as to say the buisness owners should have the opportunity to bend the knee.

Poutine made from shredded mozzarella instead of cheese curds should also be a hate crime.

The Canadian version of Shark Tank is on Season 19 on CBC, the government Pravda TV network that no one watches.

I was confused as well seeing him on it and assumed the show was long canceled.

Wikipedia has Liu listed as a Season 19 "guest" host/Dragon.
