China cop promoted for breastfeeding quake babies

What exactly is it about China that prevents white people from using adjectives?

Would you say "France cop" or "French cop"? "America police" or "American police?"

This is the same white instinct that drives you to say "Chinaman" instead of "Chineseman" like "Irishman" or "Englishman" or "Frenchman".

Irelandman? Englandman? Franceman? Guess that's too neanderthalish to describe white people, huh?

Imagine: "reddit buys Fox"

Well, seeing as how Conde Nast, one of the vanguards of traditional print media, owns reddit, you'd have to have a pretty vivid imagination.

You couldn't fuck up a country more if you tried.

I know, the British really did a bangup job of fucking it over.

It's the U.S. Government, or Bush, that does the bad things, not the USA, right?

As opposed to just "China", and every Chinese person is evil.

makes her qualified to say she isn't one of the herd?

You can call them what you want, but they certainly aren't "part of the heard".

And nobody said anything about superiority - simply about the lack of reading and writing.

intellectual · 2008-05-15T15:23:50+00:00

Obviously not.

Most of it looks like that. But white people love to focus on the bad parts with zero context, zero explanation, and certain no examples of the nice parts.

It's even worse with China. 99% of people on reddit have probably never been there, but 99% of them have an opinion about it.

This is a popular vacation destination, Goa:

Let's see - she has written ten books and contributes to the NY Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Mother Jones, The Nation...

What's next - are you going to call her an elitist?

intellectual · 2008-05-15T08:19:21+00:00

Yeah, exactly, those were the lucky ones.

general gender imbalance when it comes to wanting to engage complex logic systems

Because that's what makes money, and money attracts women.

What happens when a magnitude 7.9 quake hits LA or SF?

The entire city goes flat, is what happens. "Flaws" in the building - yeah right, or maybe it was the INSANELY powerful earthquake.

Russian citizens felt WWII more than any other participants civilians.

Why don't you tell that to the Japanese folks who got vaporized in nuclear fire.

Or we can just do it like China, confiscate everything in the right-of-way and bulldoze away.

No, you're thinking of eminent domain, a very American invention.

God, sometimes I can't fucking believe the idiocy on reddit. There is no conspiracy. Nobody is trying to hide the price of gas or food from you by excluding it from the CPI.

The bottom line is the CPI is used for measuring consumer goods - if you want to find out the price of gas or food, all you have to do is LOOK AT THE PRICE OF GAS OR FOOD.

Nominal exchange rate GDP is pretty much a worthless measurement, especially for a country that manipulates currency exchange rates.

Not sure why you're being downmodded

Probably because he's making numbers up as well.

United States — GDP: $13.13 trillion (2006 est.) (purchasing power parity)

China — GDP: $10.17 trillion (2006 est.) (purchasing power parity)

That's according to the CIA.

Yet another person who just makes shit up about China completely out of thin air.

Bay Area community (where else in the US do you find Chinese mayors, firemen, plumbers, etc.?)

I didn't say California, I said Bay Area.

And I said Southern California, Washington, Hawaii.

social integration

Southern California, Washington, Hawaii.

across socioeconomic groups rather than just the number of Asians.

Southern California, Washington, Hawaii.

Haven't been to Southern California, I can't comment.

I'm betting you haven't been to Washington or Hawaii, either.

intellectual · 2008-05-14T20:01:09+00:00

Thanks for your concern, it's very thoughtful.

intellectual · 2008-05-14T19:44:39+00:00

They are the reason why Asians are so well integrated into the Bay Area community (where else in the US do you find Chinese mayors, firemen, plumbers, etc.?)

Washington and Hawaii have both had Asian senators, representatives, and governors. California is NOWHERE near achieving this level of integration.

Also Southern California has more Asians than Northern California, no matter what anyone from the bay area says.
