We need a total and complete shutdown of all Ivy League anthropology departments until we can figure out what the hell is going on.

Interesting that Viking battle-axes used to rape and pillage defenceless seaside villages are fetishised by some Scandanavians/Europeans/Americans today as “rad” and “totally awesome as fuck” – that’s truly sick.

And, it is probably part of the broader psychological denial of the gruesome history of bloody violence, on which modern Western capitalist hegemony is founded. a-little-trolling

      My East Asian studies prof was the WASPiest mfer on the planet, but even though he was a lib he was very cool: fluent in Mandarin, Japanese, and Korean (like actually fluent, as in he published academic papers in all three languages), and really emphasized how China had strong laws to protect minority ethnic groups (e.g. exemptions from the one-child policy, explicit affirmative action, proportional representation, and language preservation efforts).

        White Chinese studies mfers are either:

        1. wierd sinophiles who are big fans of china and the CPC (oddly enough alot of these are libs that are inexplicably pro-china)

        2. the most sinophobic and racist mfers to walk the earth

        no middle ground
