Feel free to add common myths about the East that you’d like cleared up. Or how you’ve already cleared it up. It might help me or another reader.

    I’ve seen in my lifetime school kids my age in elementary school saying asian people have no souls and that they eat cats. Fast forward like 30 something years later, and those kids still have those beliefs into adulthood and are agitating for war with china.

      Honestly the “culturally acceptable” racism towards people from Asia is disgusting. The east/west divide enables people to completely dehumanize them.
