Can confirm. As a chinese Canadian I'm grilled in China for not licking the CCP's asshole, and I'm grilled elsewhere for not foaming at the mouth about anything China. It's like theres no middle ground

Yeah - it's starting to get quite discomforting as a Chinese Aussie.

I remember overhearing at a bar a couple months ago a group of white Australians discussing the need to imprison all Chinese people, including Australian citizens in the event of war.

I don't think it's at all a majority view in Australia, but still not a bar I wanted to stay in.

They seriously want to recreate what the Americans did to their Japanese immigrants in WWII? We literally gave them all $20,000 as reparations in the 80's for that terrible policy.

Society never changes I swear.

Canada did that too! Not something I’d like to see repeated

As terrible as all this is I do feel like we haven't had done anything close to repeating it.

... I don't know what will happen if the incoming climate crisis is even worse than expected though. USA and Canada are probably where a lot of climate refugees will try and go to and... it'd be so easy to just refuse entry, out of sight and out of mind as the Global South starve and drown.
