you'd better believe people still have 19th century anti-chinese prejudice in the west today

I have no doubt that this is remains hegemonic.

And this meme originated in China?

This is the weakest argument, and it’s the strawman that libs trot out the most often.

Not very well, no.

Thanks, I’ve never understood where it started or why, though I do know the rest, like the dumb censorship rumors.
