I’m sorry, being a Taiwanese-American and seeing threads like these : it’s really upsetting to see that some ignorant people really think Asians are uncivilized, uncultured, barbaric people that could ever conceive of such a thing as eating babies. China has just as much culture and technology as any other country. Maybe not as far advanced or widespread like in the US, but it’s there.

Gawd, now I know what’s it like when Jonathan Swift wrote A Modest Proposal.
