The orchestrated wave of calls to boycott the Olympic Games in Beijing that began in the United States and moved on to Europe has recently reached Israel as well. Everyone is angry at China: the right, because it is ruled by the Communist Party; the left, because of the success of capitalist reforms there; and "the Western world" (and its disciple Israel), because China is so different, yellow and threatening. That is how it is in the West: Sometimes they hate Japan, other times they hate China (always the stronger of the two), and they cannot accept the success of countries where most of the inhabitants have never heard of the Ten Commandments and the crucifixion of Jesus in Jerusalem.
It all combines to stir up an anti-Chinese wave: justified complaints (such as against the oppression of Tibet) alongside pure fictions (the extraction of organs from followers of the Falun Gong sect), as well as innumerable half-truths, half-understandings and unexamined cliches. All of the evil that happens in China - corruption, forgeries or environmental pollution - is certainly the fault of the "regime" and the "Communist government." (Only in the enlightened West are we able to distinguish between criminals and the country as a whole.)
Every cliche is acceptable, without even a minimal need to check the facts. (These include the tens of thousands who are executed every year, according to a recent article by Uri Misgav in Haaretz, or the "100 million" Falun Gong disciples in other publications. Both of these numbers are sheer fantasy). In any case, those "yellow......
......Oh yes, I forgot. Americans, after all, are white, and therefore they are entitled to speak in the name of democracy and Christian compassion. It cannot be helped that the Chinese are too different, and therefore always guilty.

Oh deliver me! Not another race card! Puleeze!!!
If Vick gets jail for dog fighting, then what should the Chinese get for knowingly poisoning America’s pets?
And her children.
And her people.
Race card is a favorite red herring of the left.
I also love how they think capitalism = government owned cartels.
....kinda funny how the average Chinese thinks of the average Caucasian as a talking chimp, subhuman. That’s what they’re taught from day one.
At least he didn’t blame President Bush...yet.
Well, I’ll tell you one thing. I absolutely, positively refuse to attend the Olympics this year! :)
See ya here.
The Chinese are some of the most racist people on earth. It is part of their culture to feel superior.
Their belief that they are superior above all other sub-human animals is why they feel that they should be able to poison us with impunity.
Yeah; but, we don’t know what cute little germies the attendees will be bringing back with them to the states.
Yea, we can all look at their superior culture and feel ashamed at our lesser existence.
“....kinda funny how the average Chinese thinks of the average Caucasian as a talking chimp, subhuman. That’s what they’re taught from day one.”
Just like every other country in Asia as I learned during my WesPac cruise. The Japanese are the worst. Koreans still kill half-breed children. People who call the USA a racist nation should live in the Phillippines. LOL!
Can we be pissed at them for poisoning us? Or would that be racism?
Crawling with logical fallacies. States opinion as fact.
I love it when someone besides my husband tells me what I’m thinking.
Who is this idiot?
Go eat a Chinese Tuna sandwich.
Then get back to us if you can...
But we musn’t even speak of it. They get angry.
Silly round eye, of course it racism.
