Remember kids, this is how Japanese treat all "impure non-Japanese".

Off the top of my head, Filipinos invented the Butterfly knife. We've created a very effective system of martial arts - Kali and Escrima, we have Manny Pacquiao (PACMAN!) And you can find us almost everywhere, which means we know how to adapt anywhere!

Why ask a retarded question? Changing the subject?

So, yeah, I get a little pissed when some know-nothing white boy talks about how little racism is in America, despite never having to worry about the fallout of some foreign country's fuckup. Unless it affects oil prices, that is.

China is changing, in fact the amount it has changed in the 16 years I was gone is positively shocking. 16 years ago government officials, even low-ranking ones, were untouchable; today judges who try to scam free meals out of restaurants or cops who kick people in the face get caught on video, shared on the 'net, and immediately dismissed from their posts (these are two actual examples). In another 16 years the hip-hp culture kids of today will be occupying low-level government positions and the students who were crying for reforms in Tiananmen Square will be occupying high-level government positions (back in 1989 college students were the children of elites - the government officials, high-ranking military officers, and the such). Yet here you are, advocating actions that will lead to the deaths of millions just because you have some crazy notion China is some stereotypical bad guy hellbent on starting a pointless war.

As for your "I see no need to list specific events. There are more than enough, you can read about them everywhere" comment: you'll have to forgive me if I scoff at that claim. In the past two years there have been two internationally covered riots in China (Tibet and Xingjiang) and in both cases photographic "evidence" of Chinese deception and brutality were circulated... and were immediately proven to be photos taken from different times and places, taken out of context for the sake of drumming up support. So unless you have an actual, credible source of the supposed massacres I'm just going to trust one fact: the people doing the bitching are obviously healthy enough to bitch, that's as sure a sign as any that they're not starving in a ditch somewhere due to oppression.

And finally about China's development of their military: Second Sino-Japanese War (1937), Sino-Indian War (1962), Sino-Soviet border conflict (1969). China has two large nations and one small (but allied with the biggest army in the world) nation surrounding it that have invaded in the past, you can't say they aren't completely unjustified in building up their armed forces.
