Try to stop thinking like an engineer and read my comment as the elucidation of a philosophical position on race rather than a Facebook policy rule.

Why can't China be for the Chinese? Sure don't kill anybody. Don't hate them. But why can't German's want their German ancestry to be Germany?
The USA is a unique case in the world and should be exception, not the rule.

Chinese nationalism is behind the cultural genocide of the Uyghur people (over 1m in camps)[1], brutal suppression of Tibetan political movements[2], and mass murder of political prisoners for the purpose of organ-harvesting[3]. The CCP uses cultural nationalism to get away with brutal suppression of non-Han ethnic minorities. This should not be overlooked, but it should also be obvious that this doesn't exonerate or excuse American white nationalist movements in any way.

1. a Chinese nationalist can post about China while living in the USA.
2. You don't need institutional power in order to do harm to other people.
3. How do you handle cases where power is evenly split? 60/40? 70/30? Who gets to be racist?
