At this point you could create a drinking game based on each iteration of whataboutism or conflation of criticism of the CCP with racism.

Irony abounds. The OP doesn't even mention a particular race in the comment. Yet the responses assume he is white with all of the trappings of privilege. Not impossible to characterize this assumption as racist on multiple levels.

It was not a hard thing to infer. There is a very particular kind of deep ignorance one needs to write a comment like OP's.
