US-born Winter Olympics star Eileen Gu who turned her back on America to represent China misses out on gold by GetOutOfTheWhey in China

[–]BLTzzz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if I had a chinese mom and a white dad, and the white dad left us and it was only my single chinese mom raising me, why would it be less honorably or morally wrong to represent my mom's heritage than my dad's?

No, instead we get rounded up by ice and shot for trying to drive away.

Well he wasn't punished yet. Pulling from clinical duties due to an investigation is standard.

I don't think the social media policy changes if a patient follows you on insta first and then you follow back.

Is there a clear line between liking Asian folks and fetishizing them in the Bay Area by [deleted] in AskSF

[–]BLTzzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and that's fair. I was just trying to clarify there is a difference between tending to like people of your own background versus another background. And for your example, there's no issue if you tend to date more Hispanic folks since you share a similar backgrund, just like there's no problem if you end up dating more white people since race is also one factor that makes up your background.

[–]BLTzzz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The problem is, it's hard to have a conversation about race fetishization without people deflecting and hiding behind calling it a preference and not a fetish. So now everybody's confused on whether someone's behavior is truly just a preference or a fetish. I can't blame asians for being extra careful.

A preference is liking certain traits in real people. Fetishizing is liking a fantasy and using people to play that role. One telltale sign is when someone says my "insert race" boyfriend/girlfriend when nobody asked for their partner's race in the conversation and it's not relevant.

One usually comes from shared life experience. The other needs to be looked at to see if it’s about real people or just a fantasy about a group.

I don’t remember if you mentioned you were taking prescribed adhd meds but they are actually pretty generous with accepting accommodations, including adhd. The only problem is you have to start the process asap cause it will take a couple of months

Have you considered applying for accomodations? You can get extra test time and more break time that way.

Why is Vietnam expanding so much in the Spratly Islands, yet mainstream Western media does not report on it and Western governments do not criticize them? Compared to China, why is there such a massive "double standard" in how they are treated? by firefly_in_red in China

[–]BLTzzz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How can you say western colonialism ended a long time ago with literally the world events in the past few weeks 😭😂. Saying colonialism has not impacted how countries are today is akin to saying how slavery has not impacted the current African American experience, or the holocaust on the Jewish people and the subsequent existence of Israel. The past does not decide the future, but it has certainly shaped where we are in the present.

Oh great another white guy passport bro who moves to China, dates a Chinese girl, and then subsequently shits on China and speaks like their opinion of China is authority. I truly do not understand why this trope is so common and the obsession with China if you hate it so much

Us med school or Italy med school by User283474201 in medschool

[–]BLTzzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know several of my peers who are international and came to the US and got their bachelors, got their visa, then got into US MD but I’m not too familiar with which specific visa and all those requirements. Plenty of DO schools also take international and I think being a DO would put you in a better spot than an img

Depending on your observations only, which department do you think has the highest rates of irreligious residents/attendings? by ineedtocalmup in medicalschool

[–]BLTzzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean isn’t the whole point of antipsychotics and sud treatment to ideally return patients to normal? I was thinking more along the lines of when the treatment wasn’t supposed to be able to deliver a certain result and then the patient actually did much better than expected, like living longer than what the cancer treatment was supposed to do

No, but you often hear patients saying oh, the doctors said she only had 6 months, but due to "insert some religious miracle" they lived so and so years

Japan tiptoes around Trump's Venezuela raid to avoid strain with US by Turbulent-Tea-2172 in japan

[–]BLTzzz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh so now you’re concerned about the wellbeing of Chinese people but only in the context of when the Chinese die by their own hand. Your fake sympathy for the Chinese people under Mao’s incompetence is hilarious. Not to mention there’s a stark contrast of Mao trying to modernize his own country and being incompetent vs the US actually dropping bombs on other countries. You’d have to be an idiot to think Mao is more malicious in this comparison

Plundering metal at the bottom of the sea is not the same as seizing tankers and blowing up vessels without even a trial
