Jesus christ, what the fuck is this question? This is essentially a thinnly-veiled "Which nationality are the worst people?", thinnly-veiled racism.
Literally hald of them are like, "Chinese people baaad", wtf. And also 1/3 of them are "Indians baaad".
I'm Chinese American which is why that thread made me feel disgusted at reddit.
Like holy shit, I'm not overreacting right? I'm pretty sure c/AskLemmy@lemmy.world would never allow this troll question.
Why is there an assumption of nationality = ethnicity?
People act the way they act as a reflection of their environment and society, not race.
Would you say you are behaving the same as a mainlander?
You should know most people use racism and bigotry interchangeably because most people don't have a good understanding of the difference. You may not like it, but in most contexts the difference is not actually important.
Because when a country's demonym is also an ethnicity (Such as India --> Indian, China --> Chinese, Japan --> Japanese, South Korea --> Korean), people usually conflate the two.
For example, my nationality is American, but if I visit somewhere in like, idk, Europe, they wouldn't care about nationality, I would be "that Chinese guy", basically lumping me in with the sterotypes they come up with.
You know what's interesting about your comment? I'm Mexican-Canadian and in Canada I have always been "the mexican". When I lived in the UK, I was "the Canadian one", to distinguish me from the American person with the same name. This was despite the fact that I am Mexican born. So you never know, in Europe, you might still just be that American guy.
Not at all, as soon as you opened your mouth you would be "that American guy". In fact, I probably wouldn't even need to hear your voice and would spot you from your clothing/accessories first already.
There are many ethnicities in India and China. Your equivalence breaks down, because then both an uyghur, tibetian and han chinese would be the same.
I get it, if we are talking about outsider's perspective, I for example can't tell apart a typical chinese from a typical korean or japanese person. Due to the lack of exposure, my brain only registers them as "asian person". Maybe the language can give a clue, but that's debateable.
Still, the broader the brushes we paint with, the more erroneous generalization are.
