The CEO of Softbank is an ethnic korean that grew up in a largely racist country (Japan).

>These judgments about entire countries are much too grandiose and strident to count as thoughtful comments here.
They are not really thoughtful comments. I dont know how productive they are but I guess some people appreciate them. I dont want to contribute to a circlejerk of "we hate china". For sure not.
I usually get carried away though.
>Those readers have a right to come here and not see comments denouncing their country and often (by implication if not explicitly) their ethnicity, and in a way their families too. Moreover, since such comments are pure flamebait, they are a vector toward this site destroying itself with flamewar and we have a duty to prevent that.
Sure do I have the right not to be dismissed by "americansplaining"?
I dont really disagree with anything you have said I just find it incredibly difficult to discuss controversial topics on the internet.

>Apart from "it is an evil, vile country",
My family had been at the receiving end of such countries. Twice. I dont believe in a policy of appeasement. At all. China is too similar to Nazi Germany for me to ignore it. It is an evil, vile country that has deception and absolute disregard to human rights deeply rooted at its core. The youtuber SerpentZA only scratches the surface of what this country is doing to not only its people.
And this is not an overstatement. To compare it to countries like Korea and Japan would be doing disservice to these countries. They are both objectively racist. Are they evil?
Well not at the moment. Imperial Japan was evil. Current Japan is just hypocritical.

This was too long ago for me to remember it. I have no idea what I meant in the context of that discussion.

I honestly believe americans are overreacting much more than any other nationality I have ever observed. It's a cultural trait.

I have refused to engage in that discussion calling the op out on his behavior.

I seriously have no idea what you are talking about. Might be an american interpretation that you see between the lines.
I have literally no idea why any of these would be considered offensive? Blunt and direct sure ...but offensive?
Does not this site promote inclusivity? or does it try to cater only to those that can navigate through american norms?

Can confirm. Eastern european here. America refers to the US of A. If we want to be explicit about the other america we say South America.

You will get downvoted to hell for this but this is a sad reality.
Most people dont realize that open source is unsustainable. Only the big and strong (the megacorps) will be able to outcompete everyone by providing complex stuff for free.

If they can do it and succeed the Valley is in serious trouble and it's the same if they fail.
