      Reminds me of the tiktok congressional hearing where congressman repeatedly kept questioning the Singaporean CEO if he was Chinese despite the CEO continuously reminding them that he was from Singapore.

      They heard him and knew the difference; they simply wanted emphasize China in the decision and Biden agreed with them

        The question is why there are so many Chinese people in academia in the US. And I guess we all know the answer.

          The original comment says nothing about white man being racist. Maybe you should’ve tried reading the article.

          She’s an Indo-American woman, a Kashmiri Pandit to be exact. A white man, Dutch probably, called out the attitude of hers, and the country she represents, towards a group of people.

          As is clear by the attitude he’s witnessed on multiple occasions by said representative, he is describing how they have engaged in likening these students to some sort of hive-mind robots trying to destroy the world.

          Now, what were you even trying to complain about?
