    I wouldn't use "authoritarian scumbags", either, unless you actually wanted to return someday, for some reason . . .

    It's way, way too late to salvage this thread with anything serious, but what the hell:

    If you criticize a regime that happens to be Asian, does that make you a racist? Or simply against that type of regime?

    Are people who are criticizing Russia right now racist? Who criticize Castro?

    Other unfortunate racial connotations and comments aside, at its base, this isn't an Asian thing. It's a China thing. And that's more about government and society than race, at least to many.

    The chinaman is not the issue here.
    It's the idiot blogger.

    It's all of the executed prisoners. They get a little gamey when you stash them under the bed.

    I can’t speak for everyone and certainly don’t condone racist comments. However, I still believe it is absurd that China hosts the Olympics. Communist county, whose roots lie with a tyrant whose regime killed many people. You cant breathe without blowing black chunks out of your nose, and dog is served in most restaurants.

    Can we please keep the Olympics in democratic, clean (or relatively so) countries that don’t consume canines. This is no slight on the Chinese people or Asians. But, it is well within any media member’s right to question the decision. Especially, after a person was murdered and an 11-year-old helped the Chinese win the gymnastics competition.
