          It never was, but for a while the general consensus of the American people was that America was good. I'd say that after 2005 that fact stopped and most Americans now agree that America is awful.

            Most wouldn't go as far as "awful." I'd say most would agree that America has done some bad things, but is still fundamentally good.

            It's an opinion unsupportable if one has any real understanding of even just 21st-century American history, but that's what propaganda gets you.

        its stupid because the governmental systems that caused those things are completely different now. and not just a 'we went from slavery to wage slavery' kind of way. and lets not forget that china was colonized for around a century and had to have all of their ethnic groups unite in order to fight off foreign puppets.

      “Han” people really should not be characterized as a “single” ethnic group

      Colonialism isn't simply racism. The idealistic superstructure of racialization is formed to rationalize the already existing material inequalities between peoples.

      To characterize all Chinese people as “same, homogenous, uniform droids that simply subjugated natives in settling across China” is quite racist.
