Is it also racist to say, "The Americans"?

Its easier to be faux-outraged.

Now its the Chinese that encourage ignoring copyright/patent/trademark/trade secret laws. It helps them get their country ramped up with regards to industrialization.

Japan did so before that, in the 60s and 70s.

The USA also did so when we broke off from England. And later, Hollywood was made to get away from Edison's and others patents.

But complaining that "The Chinese" is derogatory is petty posturing and fake outrage.
