    Yes, you are right.

    But does it ever happen to you that a friend tells you a story of someone with nationality X and you think to yourself: Sure, that is typical for X. Maybe you even told that to the friend you told the story.

     

    And comments like that are normal on Asian Now, many of us enjoy them and laugh about them.

    The difference is that mostly we do this in the Pub in this forum and not in the news section.

     

    But all in all, does it really matter if some people in this forum, including me, sometimes bash people from specific nations?

    Is anybody really offended? Does anybody think something like: Good that I know it was an American, now I will stay away from people from nation? I don't think it has any effect whatsoever.

    Maybe some of us laugh and some of us think "another bashing" and in a second we forget about it.

     

    It matters. The racist and bigoted comments become normalized and acceptable to others. If some people must foster bigoted comments to make themselves feel superior and to bolster against their own sense of inferiority, they should keep it to themselves, lest everyone see they are in fact inferior
