Chinese netizens have a term for SJWs, "white left"
https://www.opendemocracy.net/digitalibe...net-insult

Quote:So what does ‘white left’ mean in the Chinese context, and what’s behind the rise of its (negative) popularity? It might not be an easy task to define the term, for as a social media buzzword and very often an instrument for ad hominem attack, it could mean different things for different people. A thread on “why well-educated elites in the west are seen as naïve “white left” in China” on Zhihu, a question-and-answer website said to have a high percentage of active users who are professionals and intellectuals, might serve as a starting point.

The question has received more than 400 answers from Zhihu users, which include some of the most representative perceptions of the 'white left'. Although the emphasis varies, baizuo is used generally to describe those who “only care about topics such as immigration, minorities, LGBT and the environment” and “have no sense of real problems in the real world”; they are hypocritical humanitarians who advocate for peace and equality only to “satisfy their own feeling of moral superiority”; they are “obsessed with political correctness” to the extent that they “tolerate backwards Islamic values for the sake of multiculturalism”; they believe in the welfare state that “benefits only the idle and the free riders”; they are the “ignorant and arrogant westerners” who “pity the rest of the world and think they are saviours”.

Very Alinskyesque putdown, his rule #4 is "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules." SJWs are self-hating whiles, so that's a pretty big chunk for them to digest.

Gay cakes and trans bathrooms: the most important human rights issues of our times, surely.

RE: Chinese netizens have a term for SJWs, "white left"
Overall good article, as it has been making the rounds in the "blogosphere" and calls attention to the notions that 1) PC-leftism is chiefly a Anglosphere/Western European phenomenon and 2) How retarded PC-leftists are.

baichi is also a common Mandarin phrase for "idiot," so there's an additional allusion there with bai.

Still, her own PC-leftism is leaking through in the article.

Quote:However, Chinese netizens’ fierce attacks against the ‘white left’ seem curiously devoid of experiential motivation, since all these problems that conservatives in the west are concerned about – immigration, multiculturalism, minority rights, and affirmative actions – are largely unknown to Chinese society...

...Overall, there has been ‘too little’, rather than ‘too much’ political correctness as perceived by conservatives in the west.

Yeah, because the Chinese are not retarded and can witness in other countries the disastrous effects of low-skilled immigration, multiculturalism, and the glorification of negative value-add minorities, and thus don't want that for their own country.

Learning from the mistakes of others is prudent, especially when the stakes involved are gambling with the future of your country.

Quote:More or less established Chinese immigrants in the United States often make the case that affirmative action policies put Chinese-Americans in a disadvantageous position, and “Chinese should not pay the price for the wrongs white Americans have done”.

They would be more likely to say: "Chinese should not pay for the ineptitude of blacks and latinos."

Quote:This is combined with a general indifference towards race issues, or even worth [sic], with certain social Darwinist beliefs that some races are superior to others, leading many mainland Chinese netizens to dismiss struggles against structural discriminations as naïve, pretentious or demanding undeserved privileges.

Dismissals are wise when "structural discriminations" are just imaginary discriminations, and/or discriminations opposite in the direction to which the PC-left claims.

I've noticed that foreigners can spot the problems in another society with such clarity and ease, and yet the people living in said society usually have extreme difficulty understanding their flaws. When you're not part of a group, you won't succumb to their biases.

This shows us that no, we are not insane for standing up to people who want to destroy families, borders, and rule of law in the name of "diversity."

Good thing that even if the Whites self-destruct, it will take a different type of degeneracy to take down the east.

This only makes sense.

Ego, denial and rationalization of the shadow, projection of the negative onto others.

Jung said it operates on a societal level as well as a personal one.

Most people literally can't see themselves or their countries clearly, and it isn't even conscious, it is the mind protecting itself from truths it can't cope with, no matter how obvious they are to someone with no skin in that game.

It is like God is having a laugh at our expense. A little inside joke, between him and Moses and Mary.

I will give them the power to understand each other but not themselves.

Ha ha.

"Never underestimate the power of millions of lonely men."

Plenty of Asians, even some Asian immigrants to western countries, are routinely confused and disturbed by people of the West's disregard for their own history, culture, and identity. They think its crazy.

As far multiculturalism itself, I once discussed with a Jamaican girl who wanted to visit England about how certain neighborhoods in many cities there were mostly Pakistani and Bengali or in a few other areas there were even significant Polish/Eastern European populations. She shook her head sadly and said, "What about the English people? Pushed out of their own country."

I also remember an Afghan village elder asking questions about what Canada was like socially and how religion was practiced. As the senior officer present described modern progressive society and multiculturalism the interpreter looked confused and distressed. When he finally found the words to translate the concepts the elder increasingly frowned and looked disgusted with each passing word. From that point on negotiations with him went nowhere. The interpreter said "He calls you the worst of the Kaffirs. He says you are foul and he wants nothing from your cursed hands."
