    I agree with the sentiment but probably not the best way to say it

      It's a common take, but the delivery

        It’s a common take, but the delivery

        Like a baseball bat to the chest.

        From my POV, a White dude saying this is cringe but it is a hard hitting truth. And that truth is that China treats their ethnic and religious minorities WAAAY fucking better than the US treats theirs.

          He white

          Imagine a Han chinese saying "I'd preffer to be a black person in murica than a Roma in Poland". Even if it's "correct" it's eeh, weird.

            If it is correct I would not feel that it is weird when initially hearing it.

            This could just be me being weird but I'm Indian and wouldn't have an issue with someone making a similar statement about being born in India vs elsewhere. If they had knowledge and knew what they are talking about. But yeah I would assume someone from elsewhere would not know enough

              It's extremely rare that a white person says something about race that isn't cringe. So just the fact a white man is talking about race makes you brace for cringe. Even when it's actually fine it feels goofy.

    Ya the delivery was goofy, I'll agree to that. I sorta think people get a pass for good intentioned cringe when they pass 50 though.

      How old should I be to comment "awooga" at 20-something models with my official facebook account with my grandchildren in the pfp?

            Awooga refers to an onomatopoetic slang expression, mimicking the howl of a wolf, or an old-school car horn, used for expressing a maddening desire directed toward a woman, that turns a man batshit crazy.

    What's that word that describes white people taking other cultures as their own?

    Edit: cultural appropriation was the words

    That, but socialist sinophiles who act like American weebs in the most insufferable sense.

    I suppose I can't fault this guy since he's an immigrant in China right now, but holy fuck there's too many crackers doing weebshite with Chinese characteristics rn

      I would only proclaim such thing that way if I was either a black or Uyghur, but even then it would still hold a cringe vibe.

      Anyways, I took this meme from a libish page but I couldn't not laugh at this.

    I mean, just change black to poor

    Then you avoid the whole sticky situation while also pointing out that America fucking blows if your yearly income is less than six figures
