    “If you dare write about <insert thing that undenyingly happened> you are racist”.

    Soon you’ll say nothing particular happened in Tiananmen Square either.

      It’s undeniable that China rescued Tibet from feudal pedophiliac slave-owning landlords, and it’s also undeniable that Falun Gong claimed that their organs are being harvested, despite no proof whatsoever, that numerous independent and foreign doctors testified couldn’t have occurred in the manner as described, and it’s undeniable that you believe everything you read instead of checking your sources and interrogating potential bias and and blindly accepting what the U.S. government-owned western news media tells you to believe.

      You’re strawmanning, but if you must know, what happened in Tiny-Man Square was a coup-attempt that cost hundreds of lives of civilians after some violent gang members and misled protestors began to attack and stab and burn and shoot unarmed peacekeepers, and the police and military were called in to evacuate civilians, and even the goddamn New York Times admitted mere days after the fact that no massacre occurred inside the square, it wasn’t the police or military who started the fighting, the violence happened in surrounding streets, and that the tanks were rolling back to the square instead of going to it.

      It’s not fundamentally racist to insist the Tiananmen Square massacre happened, even though it’s 90 percent horseshit, but it is racist to use it as proof that Chinese people are brainwashed mindless drones because of it.
