You're right. They just can't win using a normal argument, because China beats them on every single economic indicator out there. They cannot respond, because they are so far behind in every measure.
So they have to resort to this.
And they resort to it at every chance they get. It is sheer desperation, because they can't compete.
Let us keep calm and not inflame with statements like
they just can't win a normal argument. I would like to feel that it is otherwise.
Notwithstanding, whoever the poster was and whatever be his nationality, it was immensely impolite to call the Chinese 'slant eyed' or 'chinks'.
Such racial derogatory remarks are not correct and quite unacceptable.
Discussions should be based on verifiable facts with links (wherever feasible) and not merely on personal opinions which appear bordering on fantasy, fertile imagination or on the premise of "I have said so and so, it is the Gospel".
Racial slurs are definitely out and not in order including calling races as 'monkeys' (as was being used for the Vietnamese most liberally) or 'dogs' or calling the Chinese in one case, as is being mentioned, 'slant eyed chinks'.
In fact, if one sees the Mongoloid population in the world, maybe those having slant eyes, are possibly having the correct eyes since that is the majority. Other types of eyes are the aberration.
Like the whites calling non whites as coloured. In fact, given the world population, the coloured are the real colour and hence normal. It is the whites who are the coloured if white is taken to be a colour.
