I’d call it anti-China sentiment, which isn’t racism at all. There’s plenty to dislike about the Chinese government and Chinese nationalism.
Re:The great video game exodus on Sunday June 03, 2018 @04:13AM (#17218503)
Several people in these comments are comparing the video game industry to the movie industry. I think the key difference is that the movie industry tends to value experience with everyone but the actors, with the exception of big name stars. I know lots of people in the movie industry, from set builders to producers, and they’ve all been working in the industry for years except for the actors and actresses. The video game industry doesn’t seem to value experience with the exception of a few big names and some developers with rare talents. Not a single one of the game devs I worked with 15 years ago are still in the game industry.
Reporting doesn’t work. I reported a counterfeit item and amazon apologized and refunded the money and promised to go after the seller. In the end they removed all of the seller’s negative feedback since it was “fulfilled by amazon”. What a joke.
Hey dang, where are you with these personal attacks, or is that only for people who attack liberals?
That article you posted uses a set of maps as its source, but if you go to the maps they refer to, a lot of cities have changed drastically where there was redlining. Atlanta may not have changed much from the redlined map, but Los Angeles and San Francisco definitely have, and those were the only ones I looked at. Many of the areas that were redlined are full of multimillion dollar SFRs and lots of great shops and commercial properties.

Actually you can’t trust this article. It’s an anonymous attack piece by an apparently pro-Russian person or group.
