    That’s fair to a point, but since “our” “values” have spread so thoroughly in the internet, since this was where the boom came from. Racist Americans took to the internet very early to spread hate and symbolism.

    As an American, I admit ignorance that 88 was a special number in Chinese. However, you have to understand that I would have to actively seek out that information to know it before you said that. Which is awesome and why were all here, right? That said, our culture is so prevalent on the internet and otherwise that I suspect you did know that 88 was a number for Nazis. I mean, the fact that you know English and I don’t know Chinese is part of a testament to that, well that and our failing educational system.

    I do appreciate you teaching me about another culture.

      I appreciate your civility in this discussion, i’m just annoyed that it’s what it is. Same for the use of swastika by asian culture. Fuck nazi though.

        Always fuck Nazis and whatever other names they try to hide behind.

        Yeah it’s a shame that “it is what it is” is the answer at the moment. We’d all rather it be different and hope that soon, it will be. But we’ve got a lot of work to do on our end.
