Again, misguided, possibly, but fearing the state (which may do some things through the people), not racistly (is this a word?) assuming anything made by a Chinese person, is bad.
If they were racist, they would also dislike the stuff made by Chinese people in, for example, the US, and I can say with confidence that most likely that is not the case.
i get you, those comments might have been just very poorly articulated “there is no way this cpu is going to make it to production in it’s current open source form without any backdoors by the communist party, which is notorious for it’s desire for surveillance and total control”, but it seems unlikely…
I’m not deciding what is racist. I’m just using the definitions.
Definition of racism
1 : a belief that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
policies, behaviours, rules, etc. that result in a continued unfair advantage to some people and unfair or harmful treatment of others based on race
harmful or unfair things that people say, do, or think based on the belief that their own race makes them more intelligent, good, moral, etc. than people of other races
I provided sources to back up my claim that these comments don’t fit the definition of racism. It’s your turn now to back up your claims. And with actual sources, not opinion pieces or other Lemmy posts.
none of those comments even mention ccp…

Maybe it’s unlikely, but let’s be fair and presume innocence.
You also managed to sum up my own views, although I would replace the “no way” with “there’s a healthy chance”
You are so transparent or naive to a fault. Either way. Not a good look.
More importantly, it’s not you who dictates what is and isn’t racism towards individuals. Learn to shut up, listen, and understand.

Neither of those definitions would classify this as racism.
Also, you don’t get to just claim that anything is racism. Don’t expect people to not tell you to fuck off if you say stupid things.
You’re not as clever as you like to think you are.
I’m not tryna be clever. I’m just pointing out the fact that the English language doesn’t agree with you.
I’m pointing out you’re being obtuse. Got any more fun links you want to paste? How about cat pics next.

Just give me the next instant downvote. It’s a fun feature of lemmy.
