This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

Racism is systemic. This is just discrimination. I wouldn't worry too much about this since affirmative action was attacked by their own supreme court.

If they want to keep working there, they can put in the same work the Chinese and Taiwanese workers put in.

English is not my native language, but I think there's a valid distinction between systemic (an institution being racist) and non-systemic racism (an individual or individual entity being racist)

If this was an American company doing this in another country, wouldn't we be calling this racist? I understand that there can be no systemic violence against white people in the US, but there can be discrimination (as you call it) against them. Also, like another commenter mentioned, what if other people (e.g black people) were discriminated against with this policy? Would you then call it racist instead of "just" discriminatory?

It doesn't seem a meaningful distinction to make in this case, at least to me.
