Don't Believe China's Protests About Racist "Sloping Eyes" Ads. It's a Hypocritical Attempt to Deflect Their Own Blatant Racism


   If we are to take the reporting seriously, Mercedes Benz and other western companies have offended the Chinese people, causing a huge outburst on the social media network Weibo. How did this happen? They used makeup on a Chinese model "to give her exaggerated sloping eyes," according to the NY Post.

   This is laughable on it's face, considering the regulation of private opinions that are allowed to be shared in public. However, the Post article also mentions this:
It’s not just the upmarket brands who are said to be out of touch. Last week, a model for Chinese snack brand Three Squirrels stood up against the brand’s detractors, asking, “Am I not Chinese?” Consumers had bristled over an unearthed ad campaign from 2019 featuring model Cai Niang Niang, who some said was played up in the ad for her “overly slanted eyes” and posed with her hair in braids, all of which plays into 19th-century Western stereotypes of Chinese people.



She wrote on Weibo on Sunday, according to the South China Morning Post, “With small eyes, am I not Chinese? I totally agree with patriotism. However, creating big problems out of normal matters has become a morbid obsession. I hope everybody can have a healthy mindset.”
   Let's hope Ms. Niang remains safe, and doesn't disappear, as so many inconvenient subjects do. The reasons for this cultural attack on advertising by both foreign and domestic companies is vague, but it reminded me of something that happened at the recent summit between Chinese and American leaders, in Anchorage, Alaska. The Chinese diplomats used the criticisms of our country by American leftist progressives to declare our positions on human rights as illegitimate. It appears as if the CCP is trying to promote a new "cultural revolution" in America, to their own advantage.
   The Communist leaders well understand how destructive their own cultural revolution was, so they are happy to aid our homegrown leftist progressives in destroying American culture. That they use "racism" as one of their main pillars is rich, considering how racist the CCP is. LeBron James feels free to criticize American racism, but he shows himself to be a bought and paid servant of the nation that routinely mocks Africans and African Americans in their state run media. 


   What's worse, the Chinese "belt and road initiative" was nothing short of a modern version of colonialism, taking over African states without firing a round. Now that China can't afford it anymore, it's leaving them high and dry.
   China has used it's economic power to advance the goals of the Communist Party, which are anathema to personal and economic freedom. This is why China's experiment with Capitalism is doomed for failure, and their admonitions of racism toward companies, both foreign and domestic, ring hollow. The fact is that while America is having a national debate about racial issues, the government's attempts at backing one side of it are backfiring spectacularly. That's because we are truly a free country, especially freedom of speech. Notice that the American Democrats constantly claim that Republicans are racists, and authoritarians, as they try to use the state to impose their "antiracist" solutions. It's no coincidence that the Chinese Communist Party is also taking that side, as they try to sow discord in the US.

The Biden Record, and the Democrats Who Supported It, Pt. 4: How Biden Blew Up the Economy With Inflation

   The US economy is in chaos. This is not "spin," or "opinion," but a fact. Some people aren't feeling it as hard as others, because they were well-off before the inflation started. Unfortunately, the worst is yet to come, and it will affect those "well-off" people, to a greater degree than it does currently, as the recession sets in. It also will present a crisis for government, as the interest rates for the chronic borrowing that sustains all of their largesse double, triple, or even quadruple. How did we get here, after what was shaping up as a robust recovery from the pandemic response inspired recession?    When Pres. Biden was elected, almost every policy that had been in place was reversed. We've looked at the disatrous results of this on the southern border , but what's happened to our economy has impacted many more Americans. It started out on day one, when Biden killed the KeystoneXL pipeline, followed by freezing new federal leases ...

HATE FROM THE MOUTHS OF CHILDREN: AUTUM (AUTUMN?) ASHANTE AND THE GAEDE TWINS

Image
AUTUM ASHANTE LAMB AND LYNX GAEDE I hate to have to write this, but it has to be written. Beautiful children's minds are being corrupted with racial hatred, and their parents are profiting from it. The Gaede twins have a pop band, and Miss Ashante is a poetic prodigy. The parents promote their children's careers. These young girls are the true victims of racism, because they are predestined to continue this cycle of hate. Autum Ashante (-or is it spelled Autumn Ashante ?) is a 7-year old child, home-schooled by her parents (according to the NY POST -free registration required- see below for more on this). I heard it reported on MSNBC that they are members of the Nation of Islam, but I can't confirm that elsewhere. This young lady gave a recital of her poem, "White Nationalism Put U in Bondage." Some excerpts: "Black lands taken from your hands, by vampires with no remorse."..."They took the gold, the wisdom and all the storytellers. They took th...

The Biden Debacle Part II

  In my previous post, I wrote about Pres. Biden's disastrous policy at the border, as well as it's impact on the spread of COVID. I also noted his false promise of bipartisanship, and embrace of the far left agenda. This post will deal with some of that agenda, including it's impact on the economy, law enforcement, race relations, education and the military. They're all interconnected in no small way, and Pres. Biden is making a mess of them all. With the left wing ascendant in his own party, he has found it easier to go along with them, rather than work with Republicans, even when they propose policies that a majority of Democrats support. The economy was recovering before Biden assumed office, and yet he continues to push a long wish list of leftist policies in the name of "recovery." The extension of unemployment benefits is a good example of how they can backfire. While he denies that the extra payments were keeping people from returning to work, the sta...
