Shock, the guy who watches racists is a racist.
The white man's burden bullshit argument. Oh those poor Chinese people can't possibly really support the CPC, they are just misguided and need us brave foreigners to come save them.
Laowhy desecrating remains. His girlfriend (at the time) calls him out on it and he tells her to shut up because it makes good content. Nobody who loves China descreates their dead. You can't even use the excuse that he was confused or didn't know what it was, he was told to stop and refuses.
His treatment of his wife. Makes her sit on the floor of the car while he makes racist jokes with his family. Sorry to link to reddit, I don't keep extensive archives of these guys.
Not expecting you to suddenly change your opinion on the CPC, but these guys in particularly are indefensible and nobody should be encouraged to watch them.
😂 Because I'm using a meme made by the Chinese people that offends a single person?
Oh come on, you and I both know that you're not allowed to speak against the government in China. But we can speak out in the free world and raise awareness, and hopefully that will put more pressure on the CCP. Why do you assume I'm white bro?
On the videos, well, for his wife in the car, that's kinda what happens when you don't have enough seats in the car. Someone's gotta sit on the floor. It's been me plenty of times. You're making assumptions, I didn't see him make her sit there. I wasn't able to tell from the tiny snippet the context of the chatter, and 'racist' jokes happen among close people anyway. It doesn't mean anyone is actually racist, and from how much he harps on and on and on against racism on the podcast... well. It's clear to me.
On the grave desecration however, Laowhy has spoken about it and been regretful of his younger self's actions. I've done stupid shit before, but I'm not going to defend his actions there. I wouldn't have done it. It sounds like grave desecration, even when unintentional or unknowingly is an unforgiveable sin that you could never look past, even if I showed you proof that Laowhy is really apologetic, is that right?
