If America And China Go To War Will Americans Of Chinese Descent Face Bigotry

Are there Chinese living in America who love their country?

Yes, at least some of them. I once saw a Chinese who immigrated to the US at 16 said that he will be proud to fight for the US if there was a war between China and the US. This answer really pissed me off and I spit right at his face by calling him 死汉奸(a traitor to Han nation that deserves to die). If someone is proud of killing its own kind to serve the country it lives in, man, it must love this place more than its life. Not only love, but also a deep hatred towards its own people.In case you don’t understand the anger that I hold, I’d like to give an explanation.China has a history for more than 3600 years in archaeology evidences, more than 5000 years in mouth to mouth stories. It’s one of the strongest cultures in humanity which had been conquered many times by other cultures in history yet survived till now. What makes China the country it is today? The answer is, the strong national identity of Han culture. You can compare Han culture to Jewish culture, after 1800 years of banishing, they gathered up again and re-established their own country on their ancestors’ land. That’s the same spirit Han culture has. Just like Jews, Han people’s indentity recognition is not based on blood, it’s a cultural thing. After multiple times of invasion such as 五胡乱华, most of Chinese carry the genes from other nations once were called savages by Han Chinese. Despite of that, we are still proud of being Han people because we were taught by our families that we’re the descendants of emperor Yan and Huang when we were wearing diapers.By the way, Cantonese call themselves Tang people, it means the same. Whether Han or Tang, it represents 中原文明, the central civilization. 中原文明 is the reason why China is called 中国 the Central(中) Kingdom(国) in Chinese. Han dynasty was the first powerful unified dynasty which lasted more than 200 years in Chinese history, but it had not expended its territory to Canton. Canton was included into China during Tang dynasty, another powerful major dynasty.

Is Captain America racist?

“Is Captain America racist?”I like the way this was addressed in the current Marvel movies. (Their answer is an emphatic no.)In Captain America: The First Avenger, you see Steve Rogers startled, at a recruiting station, to run into a German doctor — and he even asks, somewhat aggressively, “Where you from, Doc?” Dr. Erskine answers candidly — “Queens. 73rd Street and Utopia Parkway. Before, that, Germany.” — and then asks Steve if this bothers him. Steve Rogers is taken aback, as though he realizes that his gut reaction was not a good one, and he says “no”, convincingly. From then on, he shows loyalty, and even affection, toward Dr. Erskine.Later in the same movie, he insists on choosing his own combat team in WWII, and that team does indeed include a black soldier, Gabe Jones. (In 1945, the U.S. Armed Forces were not yet integrated — that would not happen until 1948, by executive order — so we might expect some casual racism in this movie, and indeed we see some, in terms of lowered expectations, e.g. surprise that Jones can read German. He retorts that he knows French as well.)In the present day, we never see Cap having any problems taking orders from Nick Fury — or, at least, nothing that looks anything like racism. (Cap doesn’t like being lied to, and he argues with Fury over that, but there’s nothing racist about it — he later argues with Natasha Romanov over essentially the same thing.) And, of course, he takes on Sam Wilson a.k.a. Falcon to be his wingman.Basically, Cap is supposed to represent the best of America — or, if you prefer, the best of what America ought to be, the ideal that Americans want to think of themselves as aspiring to.So, is Captain America racist?… I’d say no.
