> Wow all my US expat friends who constantly complain about having to pay US taxes despite living here in the UK must have things totally wrong then.

If you are a US citizen, you are expected to pay a certain amount of US taxes even while living abroad. Presumably, this is because you still benefit from bring US citizen while living abroad.

> No it's racist to ignore the injustices we commit in the west while condemning Asian countries for doing the same thing with different branding.

No, that's hypocrisy, which is a totally different thing from racism.

The motivation for the hypocrisy, if we're assuming good faith, is either chauvinism or racism.

When it's at the point where you destroy the lives of tens of millions of people based on illusory moral superiority, that's called chauvinism.
