... the diaspora Chinese here don't get hit with The Protocols spiel nearly as much as they get with our neighbors, like Vietnam, from what I hear.
Mainland Chinese though, are. In local discourse, the CCP functions somewhat like how I assume Mossad functions in Egyptian discourse.

Can confirm, even Gen X-ers here are a little weird about the Chinese, whom the White folk called "the Jew of the Orient," given that you see quite a few Chinese people among our most prominent business elites.
Odd thing though: despite still having many stereotypes attached to them ...

YES, this so much.
Even in societies which has no Jews or doesn't think about Jews at all, the same patterns of conspiracism and exclusion that mark anti-Semitism always seem to pop up against this or that other ethnic/social group.
Hence why anti-Semitism seems to spread so easily!

I have found my go-to example of a discriminated group.
Their example gets to how arbitrary and flatly idiotic the whole business of bigotry is.

I couldn't understand why they did that. It just turned into perfunctory fan service. Truly, I did not yet understand the ways of fic.

I knew I was a fanfic novice when I found myself surprised by the only HP fic I read suddenly haveing Harry kiss Draco, then subsequently going from "urban fantasy rework what-if where Harry never got to Hogwarts" to "Harry kisses Draco again and they do sex also" until the rushed, sloppy conclusion

I was of the opinion that that was indeed the most lasting and powerful effect of the Oct. 7 attack, but I'm unsure about that intention from Hamas, given that it requires a level of forethought to be aware of Israel's capability to wreak ungodly amounts of destruction.

They really seem to have underestimated how sharply the public turned on the Palestine issue. Career-derailing miscalculation, especially for Pink, whose remaining audience I suspect is way more progressive than Sheeran's.
Total Maga Minaj moment.

... who may actually have more merit than them, hence, instead of grappling with their own inadequacies making them of less worth in the value system they nominally believe in or working harder to actually be of deserving merit, they start huffing racist copium conspiratoidisms on X dot com

I actually feel like these are actually common brainworms.
(1) They have value for the perks of academic achievement but have no value for the knowledge itself
(2) They feel an unspoken entitlement to merit-based positions by reason of their nationality and race and are threatened by outsiders ...
