Anytime they bring up “culture” to explain why the global south struggles
Something something corruption and warlords
these people would 100% have said something racist if the conversation climate was different. using "culture" as a blanket term, and dividing the world into big cultural groups, is almost always a dogwhistle
Always press these people on what aspects of culture and within 3 replies you'll have them showing their entire ass.
It's worse with claims about how you can't trust anything out of China. What makes the Chinese less trustworthy? Tell me, honkey.
