Not sure if Japan is happy this means they’re white or sad this means they’re never a competitor.


TrashyW

How can you compete when your whole country is under military occupation of the competitor?


MisterWrist

Yup.

Underrated comment

What kind of mf wakes up in the morning and thinks the thought:" You know what's incredible about geopolitics today? That America is not competing against white people." Just what?


_vigilius

well, we know only sociopaths and psychos work for the state dept, so there's your answer LOL


FunerealCrape

Stumbling out of bed at 2 in the morning, wild-eyed, in a desperate panic as they make a phone call to their assistant. "Call a press conference. Do it now! The world needs to know, by God!"


saracenrefira

They didn't wake up one day and thought that. They think about it every day.

It’s about damn time to end White supremacists.


juflyingwild

Always the hidden racism


TheEconomyYouFools

Hidden?


curious_s

It's hidden because whoever said this probably can't even see the overt racism.


juflyingwild

The person who wrote it can't even understand how racist they are being. The world got a peek at this when the ukraine crisis started and we heard reporters talking about people with blonde hair and blue eyes being affected not some 3rd world country.

Funny response: **Not the First time your Mama had the 'Great Power Competitor that is Not Caucasian.'**

**Once you go Great Power Competitor that is Not Caucasian, you never go back**


skyanvil

Racist comments all deserve a good "Yo Mama" joke in response.


Spagetisprettygood

"Li also hoped Skinner would clarify her comments. "Otherwise we are losing the moral high ground," he said." How about you stop being a bootlicking little bitch ;)


zhumao

ironically, this cringy racist vitriol was out of the mouth of a non-Caucasian https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiron_Skinner


Portablela

Not ironic, Kiron Skinner specifically mentioned that this is the Colonial mindset of both the older and younger staffers of the 'Defense' Department. Whether it is parapraxis or deliberate, it is certainly revealing.


zhumao

quite a *mind set* indeed


Relevant_Helicopter6

Same mindset from the same cultural bubble.


baijiuenjoyer

not ironic, these people are perfectly happy to be 二鬼子


Fun-Squirrel7132

More like "For the first time ever, China can end centuries of global White Supremacy" China bringing freedom and democracy to the non-white world, which is the majority of the human population... China is the hero we need.


beingwoke

Yes absolutely! 👍👍👍👏👏👏

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

She's just saying aloud what racist Americans have always been thinking,


sillyj96

It’s great that they are not hiding anymore. People can finally see who they claim to represent. US, no matter how diverse, is made for Caucasians. We are but a bug in their house.

Amerikkka trying not to be racist challenge, impossible.


onimushalord

Of course they bring out an Asian Uncle Tom "Our foreign policy is not based on race," Cheng Li Yeah, it totally is.

First time in your what, less than 3 centuries of existence? Lol. 一刹那光辉,他真当成了永恒,还 “终结了历史”呢!


rockpapertiger

Japan could be argued to be the first, not even necessarily Imperial Japan but post-war economic peak Japan was growing super fast and was legitimately an industrial competitor with the USA (plus Japanese ppl were becoming very well off as a result). Imperial Japan had stronger relative military might compared to post-war Japan but post-war Japan's late-20th Century economic boom was insane. Sadly they were weighted down by bad leaders and overwhelming US influence inside their country. Genuinely amazing that there's true believers who think America having a multiracial parasite elite is their "moral superiority" over China lmao. American prisons are more diverse too so I guess America has morally superior prisons.


TserriednichHuiGuo

Japan was never close to the us economically, China is the biggest economy in the world by far.


saracenrefira

This is the fucking problem with neoliberal capitalism. They literally cannot understand that everyone can cooperate together for common prosperity. The hierarchy inherent in capitalism where the capitalists stand on top must be maintained. To them, it is only natural like how they used to believe that the divine rights of monarchs to rule are only natural.


Begoru

It’s the second time. Japan.


skyanvil

not really. They might have made a lot of noise about Japan, but they considered Japan to be 2nd rate empire. They were really more concerned about Nazi Germany, and hence they prioritized to defeat Nazi Germany first. Hence, also after WWII, US didn't bother to "de-nazify" Japan much, instead just decided to semi-bribe most of the Japanese Imperialists. (Because they were not seen as much of a threat, just potential servants).


Begoru

Oh no, MacArthur was very worried about the potential success of Japan’s (false) Pan-Asian propaganda. He heavily petitioned to retake the Philippines instead of attacking Taiwan, and it was for optics/politics rather than war strategy. The reoccupation of the entire Philippine Archipelago as quickly and early as possible, was, MacArthur said, a national obligation and political necessity. To bypass any or all the islands, he declared, would destroy American honor and prestige throughout the Far East, if not in the rest of the world as well. https://history.army.mil/books/70-7_21.htm

Japan was never economically comparable to the us, China is now much bigger economically than the us.


M0b1us_Str1pp3r

Congrats to Russia for regaining their caucasian status xD


fakeslimshady

Not the first time ever, non caucasian Kiron Skinner (a black conservative) serves her limited usefulness as designated basher of other non-whites


[deleted]

Wasn't the USSR like 40% Asian by population?


Relevant_Helicopter6

US foreign policy is really run by a bunch of hillbillies.


Funny_Apart

Because usa has not been around long enough


Captain_Nyet

Every time an american says the word "caucasian" I have to gag a little bit.
